  • Taiwanese Eyes on the Modern: Cold War Dance Diplomacy And
    Taiwanese Eyes on the Modern: Cold War Dance Diplomacy and American Modern Dances in Taiwan, 1950–1980 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Tsung-Hsin Lee, M.A. Graduate Program in Dance Studies The Ohio State University 2020 Dissertation Committee Hannah Kosstrin, Advisor Harmony Bench Danielle Fosler-Lussier Morgan Liu Copyrighted by Tsung-Hsin Lee 2020 2 Abstract This dissertation “Taiwanese Eyes on the Modern: Cold War Dance Diplomacy and American Modern Dances in Taiwan, 1950–1980” examines the transnational history of American modern dance between the United States and Taiwan during the Cold War era. From the 1950s to the 1980s, the Carmen De Lavallade-Alvin Ailey, José Limón, Paul Taylor, Martha Graham, and Alwin Nikolais dance companies toured to Taiwan under the auspices of the U.S. State Department. At the same time, Chinese American choreographers Al Chungliang Huang and Yen Lu Wong also visited Taiwan, teaching and presenting American modern dance. These visits served as diplomatic gestures between the members of the so-called Free World led by the U.S. Taiwanese audiences perceived American dance modernity through mixed interpretations under the Cold War rhetoric of freedom that the U.S. sold and disseminated through dance diplomacy. I explore the heterogeneous shaping forces from multiple engaging individuals and institutions that assemble this diplomatic history of dance, resulting in outcomes influencing dance histories of the U.S. and Taiwan for different ends. I argue that Taiwanese audiences interpreted American dance modernity as a means of embodiment to advocate for freedom and social change.

    Installation Address of Professor Arvind Gupta as Thirteenth President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of British Columbia September 12, 2014 *Check against delivery Page 1 of 11 Your Honour, Minister Fast, Minister Virk, Deputy Mayor Reimer, Elder Grant, Distinguished platform party, fellow faculty, students, staff, alumni, friends and family – thank you. This is actually my second installation as President of UBC. On my first day, at the beginning of July, the Musqueam people recognized me with a blanketing ceremony. In a flourish of eagle down, chants and dancing, they welcomed me to this, the unceded land of their ancestors. I couldn’t be more grateful. We are all blessed to be here on the traditional territory of the Coast Salish people. As President, I will do everything I can to ensure that UBC is and remains a trusted partner and a good neighbour to the Musqueam people. You might take that as an overarching theme for the day – the responsibilities that we all share as a community of elders and scholars, striving to excel in a spirit of integrity, diversity, inclusiveness and mutual respect. I trace my own sense of citizenship to my upbringing. I’m from Timmins. I was born in India, but I grew up in the hard, beautiful country of the Canadian Shield, at a time when it was common practice to bring home strangers off the street, merely because they needed a meal and a bed. Well, maybe it wasn’t that common. Certainly, the first time I brought a hungry vagrant to my home in Toronto, my startled family found it quite unusual.
