  • Navy Pier Impact Report 2016–2017
    People’s Pier Partnerships Navy Pier Impact Report 2016–2017 95739_Impact Report_a7_Flipbook.indd 1 11/6/18 11:53 AM A Joint Message from Our Chairman and President Celebrating our Centennial in 2016 was so much more than just a milestone. It was a community celebration that marked the start of two incredibly productive years at Navy Pier. We have been hard at work, transforming Chicago’s lakefront treasure into a one-of-a-kind urban oasis. In 2016 alone, we welcomed a record-breaking 9.3 million guests. With more than 60 percent of guests coming from Chicago and the suburbs, the People’s Pier has been embraced by locals as their own; as a place to escape, rejuvenate, connect, be inspired and, most importantly, have fun. OUR MISSION Navy Pier is the People’s Pier, Chicago’s lakefront treasure, welcoming all and offering dynamic and eclectic experiences through partnerships and programs that inspire discovery and wonder. 2 95739_Impact Report_a5.indd 2 10/12/18 9:12 AM 70 5 3,000 businesses at the Pier including retail, nonprofits operating at the Pier people work at Navy Pier across the 70 businesses dining and entertainment Bringing our Centennial Vision to life began with public sample authentic local culinary offerings in the new Chicago dialogue and feedback from our community, partners and Food Experience. More recently, our cultural partners, Chicago William J. Brodsky stakeholders. Our growing family of donors, including Shakespeare Theater, completed the groundbreaking state-of-the- Chairman individuals, corporations and foundations, have helped us art theater, The Yard, and Chicago Children’s Museum installed achieve our ambitious goals.

The callers who have been active for ten or more years and are still in demand are the ones who program each of their dances so that they give something for the "hot shot" dancer; something for the "newcomer" to square dancing; and a heck of lot for the people in between who outnumber the others maybe ten to one. The dances for the in-betweens will "be a good mixture of old and traditional dances and enough of the neweir ones to keep the floor on its toes. And one thing they never are guilty of: they never deliberately try to "throw the floor". Any idiot can do that; it takes a real good caller to sense the limitations of the group and arrange or re-arrange his material accordingly.

  • The Use of the Polish Folk Music Elements and the Fantasy Elements in the Polish Fantasy on Original Themes In
    THE USE OF THE POLISH FOLK MUSIC ELEMENTS AND THE FANTASY ELEMENTS IN THE POLISH FANTASY ON ORIGINAL THEMES IN G-SHARP MINOR FOR PIANO AND ORCHESTRA OPUS 19 BY IGNACY JAN PADEREWSKI Yun Jung Choi, B.A., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2007 APPROVED: Adam Wodnicki, Major Professor Jeffrey Snider, Minor Professor Joseph Banowetz, Committee Member Graham Phipps, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Choi, Yun Jung, The Use of the Polish Folk Music Elements and the Fantasy Elements in the Polish Fantasy on Original Themes in G-sharp Minor for Piano and Orchestra, Opus 19 by Ignacy Jan Paderewski. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2007, 105 pp., 5 tables, 65 examples, references, 97 titles. The primary purpose of this study is to address performance issues in the Polish Fantasy, Op. 19, by examining characteristics of Polish folk dances and how they are incorporated in this unique work by Paderewski. The study includes a comprehensive history of the fantasy in order to understand how Paderewski used various codified generic aspects of the solo piano fantasy, as well as those of the one-movement concerto introduced by nineteenth-century composers such as Weber and Liszt. Given that the Polish Fantasy, Op. 19, as well as most of Paderewski’s compositions, have been performed more frequently in the last twenty years, an analysis of the combination of the three characteristic aspects of the Polish Fantasy, Op.19 - Polish folk music, the generic rhetoric of a fantasy and the one- movement concerto - would aid scholars and performers alike in better understanding the composition’s engagement with various traditions and how best to make decisions about those traditions when approaching the work in a concert setting.

  • Polskie Tańce Narodowe
    Polskie tańce narodowe Opracowały: Anna Płoska i Olga Gracz Do wielkiej piątki polskich tańców narodowych należą: mazur, oberek, kujawiak, krakowiak, polonez. MAZUR Pochodzi z Mazowsza, a nazwa wywodzi się od mazurków, które tańczono na wiejskich zabawach. To taniec w żywym tempie i metrum 3/4 lub 3/8. W XIX wieku zaczął zdobywać popularność na dworach szlacheckich. Ważnymi elementami mazura są: swobodna gestyka rąk i głowy, improwizacyjny charakter kompozycji tańca. Za dawnych czasów przebieg mazura zależał od tancerza z pierwszej pary. Poniżej dodatkowy link do filmiku z tańcem mazur: http://www.tance.edu.pl/pl/dances/show/category/0/dance/720 OBEREK Jest to najszybszy i najbardziej skoczny polski taniec. Jego nazwa pochodzi od charakterystycznej dla niego figury - obrotów („obertas”). Pary tańczące wirują bardzo szybko wokół własnej osi. Jest tańcem wesołym, żywym, metrum 3/8. Był tańczony w różnym tempie w zależności od regionu. Mniej żwawo w Wielkopolsce i na Kujawach, a najżywiej w Krakowskiem. Poniżej dodatkowy link do filmiku z tańcem oberek: http://www.tance.edu.pl/pl/dances/show/category/0/dance/721 KUJAWIAK Jest najwolniejszym i najbardziej nastrojowym z polskich tańców narodowych, czemu zawdzięcza swoje ludowe nazwy: “śpiący” i “kolebany”. Wywodzi się z kujawskich obrzędów weselnych. Jego charakter podkreślają: kołysanie i spokojne obroty tańczących par. Tempo kujawiaka jest wolne, metrum 3/4. Poniżej dodatkowy link do filmiku z tańcem kujawiak: http://www.tance.edu.pl/pl/dances/show/category/0/dance/719 KRAKOWIAK Taniec pochodzący z okolic Krakowa, o charakterystycznym, synkopowanym rytmie, w metrum 2/4. Tańce, z których się wywodzi, posiadały swoje lokalne nazwy: mijany, dreptany, ścigany, skalmierzak, przebiegany.

Polka Town n a long weekend at the end of July every year a transformation takes place in the northeastern Wisconsin dairy-farming village of Pulaski. 0 Wire-and-lathing snow fences enclose the city park just past the small downtown commercial strip. Tent-covered dance floors and beer bars appear, food stands exude the aroma of Polish sausages on the grill, and Pulaski becomes, as promised in local musician Alvin Styczynski's song, the quintessen­ tial "polka town." Pulaski is a polka town With loads of boys and girls around. It's very plain to see, they're singing merrily Dancing and hopping up and down. Pulaski Polka Days are the biggest of many local dance events. Polka enthusiasts from miles around more than double the town's population of under two thou­ sand. From midday until late each night, at least two bands-one in the pavilion, the other in the tent-pump out polkas and an occasional waltz, oberek,or kujaw­ iak. As the trumpets, concertinas, electric bass, and drums blare at the ear-ring­ ing level to which modern sound systems have inured us, dancers whirl about the floor in sweeping counterclockwise circles . The dancers are old and young, teenagers in blue jeans and tee shirts, and farming folk sporting seed company baseball caps, print dresses, and billowy blouses and slacks.
