Workshops and their symbols: o (open) - for all levels, people interested in bodywork and movement Beg (beginning level) - providing basic knowledge, no specific precognition required Int (intermediate level) - for dancers with some knowledge, skill-refreshment Adv (advanced level) - for dancers with extended knowledge Adv* (advanced level) - for professional dancers with extended knowledge RUSSELL ADAMSON Week1: July 15 - 19 Contemporary Jazz Adv 12:15 - 14:00 Urban Styles Beg 16:10 - 17:55 Contemporary Jazz ENJOYMENT, THE CREATIVE PROCESS AND WORKING WITH OTHERS The class begins with a contemporary warm up that consists of exercises in various combined forms. These vary throughout the warm up in order to acquire body placement make your tendons and muscles elastic and springy, develop your sense of balance which will be needed for correct execution of technique. Later on a series of various Adagio and Allegro combinations are put together to develop movement phrases in the middle part of the class. Participants will be required to do floor and aerial work as well as travelling in space. The class ends with a choreography. The main goal of the workshop is to work with and encourage the students to embrace the different movement possibilities of the body through nonverbal communication. I would like to give choices that are innovative, exciting, progressive and diverse in the bringing together of the rapidly expanding discipline called dance. The emphasis of the class is also on enjoyment, the creative process and working with others. Urban Styles DYNAMIC, ENERGY & FUN Urban Styles are movements in motion. Everything is constantly changing and the real inspiration is the music! The feeling is like a block party, having fun while experiencing visually and physically the different forms of expression that are going on in today's urban culture from the street to the clubs. So join the party and let loose the dance in you! Constant motion, improvisation, continuity rhythm and harmony. The beat goes on, never final, never finished. That‘s the pulse and energy movement we call dance. Included at all levels is a warm up and cool down in the creative process. To convey the energy and movement of dance from HipHop, Funk to Ragga and HouseDance. All technical stuff is put into an easy-to-follow choreography for the beginner's level. As for the advanced level the combinations are physically and technically more challenging. 4 Russell Leon Adamson was born in Jamaica and moved to England with his family at the age of 10. He attained three city and guild certificates in electronics and engineering at Gloucester City College. His athletic abilities lead him to the Gloucester Youth Gymnastics team and to amateur as well as thai boxing. He carries the black belt status in various Martial Art Techniques. With this physical background he was granted a 4-year scholarship at the London School of Contemporary Dance. At the same time he took classes in Classical Ballet at the Central School of Ballet in London. He studied Ballet with Marian Lane and Laura Conners of the Royal Ballet School and Company (UK) and Jazz with Deirda Lowell and Wayne Babeist (Alvin Ailey Company), Daniela Lorenz (Matt Mattox Company), Charles Augins (USA) and also Claude Paul Henry (London) and Max Stone (New York). He also studied Modern with Bill Louther (Martha Graham and Alvin Ailey Company), Carolyn Carson and Jorma Uotinen (Helsinki City Theatre, Finland), Viola Farber from the Merce Cunningham Company, Jane Dudley and Robert Cohan from the Martha Graham Company. Russell Adamson is an innovative teacher, motivating his students to focus on their work, so they can do more than they expected. With his support many young dancers have chosen dance as their profession. He has also created many choreographies, which received a lot of recognition in Finland and abroad. During the last years he has worked as a performer for the National Ballet of Estonia, the Gala for the 6th International Baltic Ballet Festival (Riga, Lithuania) and for Marimekkos 50th birthday (2001 - 2004), amongst others. In addition he has worked with the Black Dance Festival in Vienna (2002 & 2003) and the Estonia Art and Culture Gala Night in Tallinn (2004). As a choreographer he has created his own work including: "Spirit of the Landscape" (Finland, 2005), a solo and duett with Rodney Williams for the Black Dance Festival (Vienna, 2005), "Flow" a solo (London, 2006), "Terrain" (Finland, 2006), a choreography for the opera La Traviata (Finland, 2006), "Episodes" for the Rainbow Jazz Festival (2007, Estonia), a choreography for the Higher Ground Gospel Concert (Finland, 2007), The Live Orchestral Music and visual effects show at the Estonia Concert Hall (Tallinn, 2007), a Funk & HipHop choreography for the Urban Culture Tour (Helsinki, 2007) and lately a choreography for the jazz opera Manon with the world premiere (Estonia, Febuary 2008). In 2009 Russell created four big productions, which have been shown in London, Tallinn and Vienna. Paola AGUILERA Week2: July 22 - 26 Auf den Kopf gestellt (8-11 J) 10:00 - 14:00 Auf den Kopf gestellt STORIES AND PHANTASMS Within this weeklong Atelier we will turn everything upside down: we will look with our feet, listen with our nose, walk with our tummies etc. We will get acquainted with the work of an actor/actress through basic exercises and games, a load of fun and a plenty of movement - above all. We will collect ideas, stories and phantasms and present them to our parents and friends at the end of the Atelier. The actress and director Paola Aguilera was born in Santiago de Chile. She grew up in Perú, Romania and Germany.

  • EDM (Dance Music): Disco, Techno, House, Raves… ANTHRO 106 2018
    EDM (Dance Music): Disco, Techno, House, Raves… ANTHRO 106 2018 Rebellion, genre, drugs, freedom, unity, sex, technology, place, community …………………. Disco • Disco marked the dawn of dance-based popular music. • Growing out of the increasingly groove-oriented sound of early '70s and funk, disco emphasized the beat above anything else, even the singer and the song. • Disco was named after discotheques, clubs that played nothing but music for dancing. • Most of the discotheques were gay clubs in New York • The seventies witnessed the flowering of gay clubbing, especially in New York. For the gay community in this decade, clubbing became 'a religion, a release, a way of life'. The camp, glam impulses behind the upsurge in gay clubbing influenced the image of disco in the mid-Seventies so much that it was often perceived as the preserve of three constituencies - blacks, gays and working-class women - all of whom were even less well represented in the upper echelons of rock criticism than they were in society at large. • Before the word disco existed, the phrase discotheque records was used to denote music played in New York private rent or after hours parties like the Loft and Better Days. The records played there were a mixture of funk, soul and European imports. These "proto disco" records are the same kind of records that were played by Kool Herc on the early hip hop scene. - STARS and CLUBS • Larry Levan was the first DJ-star and stands at the crossroads of disco, house and garage. He was the legendary DJ who for more than 10 years held court at the New York night club Paradise Garage.

Yet the latter must be able to play a role as a driving force for conflict resolution and peace building. The arts, and dance in particular, can initiate new perspectives for the future. While performing arts have value in and for themselves, they can engage with societal challenges such as inequalities, migration, conflict and violence, and create a deeper intercultural understanding. The arts can prepare citizens to think critically, act creatively, and foster civic engagement and social change, while at the same time providing a safe space to express their emotions. Dancers For the World (DFW) has demonstrated its power in supporting the most vulnerable, empowering children, women and young adults, and creating protected surroundings to exchange in time of crises.

  • Discourse on Disco
    Chapter 1: Introduction to the cultural context of electronic dance music The rhythmic structures of dance music arise primarily from the genre’s focus on moving dancers, but they reveal other influences as well. The poumtchak pattern has strong associations with both disco music and various genres of electronic dance music, and these associations affect the pattern’s presence in popular music in general. Its status and musical role there has varied according to the reputation of these genres. In the following introduction I will not present a complete history of related contributors, places, or events but rather examine those developments that shaped prevailing opinions and fields of tension within electronic dance music culture in particular. This culture in turn affects the choices that must be made in dance music production, for example involving the poumtchak pattern. My historical overview extends from the 1970s to the 1990s and covers predominantly the disco era, the Chicago house scene, the acid house/rave era, and the post-rave club-oriented house scene in England.5 The disco era of the 1970s DISCOURSE ON DISCO The image of John Travolta in his disco suit from the 1977 motion picture Saturday Night Fever has become an icon of the disco era and its popularity. Like Blackboard Jungle and Rock Around the Clock two decades earlier, this movie was an important vehicle for the distribution of a new dance music culture to America and the entire Western world, and the impact of its construction of disco was gigantic.6 It became a model for local disco cultures around the world and comprised the core of a common understanding of disco in mainstream popular music culture.

In the work of Pina Bausch, everyday body behavior is not just a matter of style; her dance develops content with a proper writing, inviting the spectator to experience a poetic reality. For this purpose, the article initially presents a historical line of Tanztheater, its attributes and interrelationships, closing with the specific characteristics of four works of the choreographer, created in the period comprising the initial two decades (1974-1989) of her fruitful production, and which were watched live by the author of the text. Keywords: Tanztheater. Pina Bausch. Experience Theater. Choreographies.

  • Dance Fields Conference Boa NEW
    Dance Fields Conference April 19th – 22nd 2017 Book of Abstracts (Chronologically listed) SESSIONSPANELSPRACTICALSWORKSHOPSROUND TABLES Thursday, April 20th 10:00 – 11:30 Session I Chair: Ann R. David Michael Huxley Dance Studies in the UK 1974-1984: A historical consideration of the boundaries of research and the dancer’s voice The first Study of Dance Conference was held at the University of Leeds in 1981. The following year saw the First Conference of British Dance Scholars in London, leading to the inauguration of the Society for Dance Research and then the publication of its journal, Dance Research. Since 1984, the field of dance studies in the UK has both developed and been debated. My paper draws on archival and other sources to reconsider this period historically. With the benefit of current ideas of what constitutes dance, practice, research, and history, it is possible to consider the early years of UK Dance Studies afresh. In the twenty-first-century there are some accepted notions of dance studies. I would argue that they have established boundaries, but that these are often unstated. The period is re-examined with a view to uncovering a broader, and indeed more inclusive, idea of dance studies. In this, attention is given to the researches of practitioners in the period; both published, including in New Dance, and unpublished. Whilst recognising the significant scholarship of the period, the paper also considers the ideas that dancers gave voice to. The analysis is taken further by considering the unexamined discourses that helped enable research in dance in the UK to develop in the way it did.

What Are The Overall Benefits of Dance Improvisation, and How Do They Affect Cognition and Creativity? Carley Wright BFA Commercial Dance Major Advisor: Jessica Hendricks th nd Presenting: May 7 ,​ Graduating: May 22 ​ ​ Advisor Approval Page Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to define the terms improvisation, cognition, and creativity, ​ and therefore find the direct correlation between all three, and how they can all be involved within dance. The main intention is to determine whether or not improvisational dance can positively influence one’s creative mindset, thus improving the cognitive learning process. Furthermore, it is to discover if the development of a creative mindset can be established through dance improvisation at an early age. In this exploration, the majority of my research will come from the examination of previously conducted experiments, as well as guiding and observing an improvisation class of young adults, gaining insight simply from a dance teacher’s perspective in order to explore the idea of cognition leading to creativity through movement.
