  • Figure Skating and the Anthropology of Dance: the Case of Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin
    Andrée Grau: Figure Skating and the Anthropology of Dance: The Case of Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin Figure Skating and the Anthropology of Dance: The Case of Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin Andrée Grau Roehampton University, [email protected] Abstract In this paper, I address a number of topics relevant to anthropology generally and to the anthropology of dance specifically. I consider issues of classification and taxonomies; of interculturalism and transnationalism; of representation, exoticisation and internalised racism. I examine dance, hierarchies and discrimination, and discuss boundaries between dance and non-dance. For example, dance scholars, with a few exceptions, rarely write about figure skating, although it is cognate to Western theatre dance genres, especially ballet. Figure skating is sport, even in its ice dancing incarnation, whilst dance is art even in its ballet competition incarnations. I use as a case study the Russian skaters Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin, who choreographed an ‘Australian Aboriginal Dance’ for their original routine for the 2010 European skating championships and Olympics. This offended Aboriginal elders who made a complaint to the Russian ambassador. I examine the controversy around the routine, how it was reported in the press and how the audience responded in Internet forums, focusing especially on the way Australian Aborigines con- tinue to be portrayed as stone age in popular media. KEY WORDS: aesthetics, Australian Aborigines, ballet, Internet forums, dance, ice ska- ting, taxonomies Introduction One of the premises of the anthropology of dance, is that the term ‘dance’ is problematic as it carries preconceptions of what this activity engages with, which is rooted into a Western way of understanding the body in space and time, situating it in a particular relationship to a soundscape.

  • ISU Lifetime Achievement Award Recipients Revealed
    ISU Lifetime Achievement Award recipients revealed Living legends Jayne Torvill/Christopher Dean (GBR), Tamara Moskvina (RUS) and Alexei Mishin (RUS) received the ISU Lifetime Achievement Award. Presented by Olympic Ice Dance Champion Charlie White and Olympic Ice Dance silver medalist Tanith White, the digital show on Saturday, July 10, united Figure Skating of the present, past and future. British Ice Dancers Torvill and Dean revolutionized the sport with their immortal “Bolero” that won them Olympic gold in 1984. But there is so much more to them than the “Bolero”. Torvill and Dean brought Ice Dance to another level. Their passionate Rhumba Original Set Pattern Dance from 1994 has been developed into a Compulsory Dance, for example. They continued to create unique programs in shows and tours and as choreographers. “From our point of view it has been a life giving exercise. We didn’t know that we would still be involved/a part of [Figure Skating], this far into our lives and that was over 30 years ago, and we’re still doing it, maybe we shouldn’t be doing it but we are doing it and still enjoying it as well.” Tamara Moskvina and Alexei Mishin were successful Pair Skaters end of the 1960s, winning medals at the ISU World and European Championships. While they were technically ahead of their time as skaters, they created their true legend as coaches. They have been coaching for more than 50 years and educated generations of Figure Skaters. Moskvina’s Pairs have won a total of 63 medals at Olympic Games, ISU World and European Championships, which makes her the most successful Pair Skating coach in the World.

  • Indiana/World Skating Academy
    ##### Indiana/World Skating Academy ##### INDIANA/WORLD SKATING ACADEMY: We have fun down cold [T]he economic impact of the Skating Academy is similar to that of a manufacturing firm, creating spending and employment benefits of a considerable magnitude year after year with relatively little notice. The Skating Academy is an important and consistent contributor to the economy of the Indianapolis area, to the diversity of its sports activities, and to the overall quality of life in the community. Its success has bred competition as new skating facilities have been constructed in the region. In the past ten years, the Skating Academy has evolved from a unique and novel facility to become an integral part of the sports and entertainment scene in Indianapolis. —Bruce L. Jaffee, Department of Business Economics & Public Policy, Kelley School of Business, Indiana University Amateur athletics helped put the city of Indianapolis on the map. But long before Indianapolis built its best-known sports facilities and headquarters, the city gained a leading position in the field of skating and ice-based competition and training. Indiana/World Skating Academy (I/WSA) attracts skaters from throughout the United States and beyond to train with some of ice sports’ finest coaches. Headquartered at Pan American Plaza since 1987, I/WSA brings competitors and spectators to Indianapolis for ice-based events, and direct revenue to the city in the form of tourist dollars. Since 1988, I/WSA has bolstered the Indianapolis economy by an average of $14,799,000 each year. In 2006, this year-’round facility hosted 223,640 visitors: 133,440 from outside Indianapolis and/or Marion County, generat- ing a direct economic impact in excess of $26,260,000 for the year.

  • ISU Judging System Advantages Over
    I N T E R N A T I O N A L S K A T I N G U N I O N HEADQUARTERS ADDRESS: CHEMIN DE PRIMEROSE 2 - CH 1007 LAUSANNE - SWITZERLAND TELEPHONE (+41) 21 612 66 66 TELEFAX (+41) 21 612 66 77 E-MAIL: [email protected] Lausanne, 8 September 2003 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on the ISU New Judging System Please note that the questions and answers below are focused on singles figure skating but the same principles apply to pair skating and ice dancing. Q1: Will you please describe the ISU 6.0 system? A: The 6.0 system requires each judge, guided by general criteria in the ISU Special Regulations, to award a skater only two “marks”, each expressed as a number on a scale from 0 to 6.0. Each judge must compare the quality of the individual skater’s performance with that of all other competitors (“relative” judging) and award the two marks accordingly. The first mark is a single mark for Technical Merit. In the short program, this mark is awarded for performance of the required jumps, spins and footwork (Technical Elements). In the free program, this mark is awarded for the quality of Skating Techniques. The mark is awarded at the end of the skater’s performance. The second mark is a single mark for Presentation (artistry, timing, music, interpretation, and expression). The mark is awarded at the end of the skater’s performance. Neither of these marks expresses any real value. They serve only the purpose of placing the skater into a specific ranking position.
