Hagood, Florida International University, Miami, for his significant contributions as senior key personnel to the direction of the project in the course of four years. NDEO thanks Information Technology Systems staff members Ray Nedzel, Anthony Bone and Paul Atkins for all technologies associated with RDEdb online development and management. Their efforts have made this project web available to the nation. The RDE project recognizes interns April Bell, a student from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for her assistance in processing and verifying data; and, Deanna Costa, a student from the University of Maryland, College Park, for methodical database searches. Of course, no report could do without the invaluable assistance of editors, and for that we thank, again, Thomas K. Hagood; Anne Dunkin, California State University, Fullerton; and Tom O’Brien, Heldref Publications, Washington, D.C. Finally, we express our appreciation to colleagues representing the arts and education organizations with whom we network at national and state levels for their daily support of dance arts education in classrooms throughout America. i Foreword The Research in Dance Education (RDE) project grew out of a long-term national need in dance education – a need to know what researchers in dance and allied fields have studied over 80 years, what they learned, and if, and how, existing research impacted teaching and learning in and through dance. As dance educators, we knew that research had been done in dance and that it began to accumulate following the development of the world’s first dance major program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1926. Over the decades this research was deposited in libraries scattered all over the country, finding a home in the literature and research of our and other disciplines – faculty published their work when and where they could. What our field lacked was a comprehensive knowledge of what was written; by whom, where it was located, and what promise this hidden resource might have for teaching and learning in and through dance. In 2001, the National Dance Education Organization received funding for a three year project from the United States Department of Education that allowed the discipline of dance, for the first time, to identify and analyze existing literature and research in dance/movement education from 1926 to the present. The Research in Dance Education project set out to answer the following questions: • What research exists in dance education? When was it done? Where is it? • What patterns, trends, and gaps may be identified by analysis of these data? • What are the implications for understanding the scope of this information for dance, arts education, and U.S. education? • What recommendations for the future of dance arts education may grow out of this project? The Research Priorities for Dance Education: A Report to the Nation (2004) provides a summary of the information gleaned over 76 years of literature and research in dance education. The Research in Dance Education database (RDEdb), available online at www.ndeo.org/research, contains vast amounts of information for more than 2,800 documents, 2,339 of which comprise the study. Knowing what literature exists, putting it into historical context, and understanding its content, implications, and impact has made it possible to reveal important patterns, trends, and gaps that have emerged in dance/movement education research over time. The discovery and recovery of decades of field productivity has resulted in a reclaiming of our history, and a renewed appreciation for how learning in, through, and about dance enriches learning, working, and life itself. Jane Bonbright, Ed.D. Executive Director, National Dance Education Organization Project Director, Research in Dance Education ii Introduction Research in Dance Education Project The Research in Dance Education (RDE) project was executed in three phases: • Phase I: Data Collection; • Phase II: Data Analysis, Conclusions and Recommendations; and • Phase III: Development of the national web based Research in Dance Education database (RDEdb), publication of Research Priorities in Dance Education: A Report to the Nation, and the establishment of a Center for Research in Dance Education (Temple University, Philadelphia, PA). Literature and research (1926-2002) was accessed by field researchers in one of three content areas: (1) Unpublished Literature (dissertations, theses, conference proceedings, technical manuals, monographs, etc.); (2) Published Literature in Dance Education (articles, editorials, and reviews in periodicals; and federal publications); and (3) Published Literature in Other Disciplines (e.g. anthropology, cognition, ethnography, educational psychology, kinesiology, medicine and science, physical education, psychology, sociology, somatics, body therapies, and so forth). Thirty-seven field researchers and ten key personnel reviewed over 13,000 primary source materials in unpublished literature and research, and published literature in dance and other disciplines. Researchers scoured more than 110 collections in colleges and universities and reviewed 190 separate journal titles representing field research activity from 1926 to the present. Currently, the Research in Dance Education database (RDEdb) contains over 2,800 citations that document how the literature relates to 820 cells of information addressing U.S. Education Issues, Populations Served, and Areas of Service in dance. Research Priorities for Dance Education: A Report to the Nation This Report to the Nation contains an analysis and summation of the research uncovered during the 15 month collection phase (June 1, 2001 – August 31, 2002), “Phase 1: Data Collection,” of the Research in Dance Education project. The report’s purpose is to reveal the patterns, trends, and gaps of research produced between 1926 and the present. By illustrating research productivity in dance/movement education from its beginnings to the present, the report provides recommendations for dance education research in the twenty-first century. The research collected has been organized into three basic content areas as described above (Unpublished Documents, Published Literature in Dance Education, and Published Literature in Other Disciplines). Chapter 1: Methodology, written by Research in Dance Education Project Director, Jane M. Bonbright, outlines the three phases and methodology of the RDE project. Chapters 2, 3 and 4 review each of the three content areas in four time periods and present composite analyses of the patterns, trends, and gaps uncovered over 76 years of literature and research; and each Content Area Chair and Coordinator notes research methodologies appropriate to their field of study, as needed. Chapter 2: Unpublished Literature is written by Thomas K. Hagood (Chair) and Carol M. Press (Coordinator), Chapter 3: Published Literature in Dance Education is written by Karen K. Bradley (Chair) and Loren Bucek (Coordinator), and Chapter 4: Published Literature in Other Disciplines is authored by Susan Koff (Chair) and Sara Lee Gibb (Coordinator).

  • Remediation of Moving Bodies: Aesthetic Perceptions of a Live, Digitised and Animated Dance Performance
    CLR-Nº 6 17/6/08 15:15 Página 85 CULTURA, LENGUAJE Y REPRESENTACIÓN / CULTURE, LANGUAGE AND REPRESENTATION ˙ ISSN 1697-7750 ˙ VOL VI \ 2008, pp. 85-99 REVISTA DE ESTUDIOS CULTURALES DE LA UNIVERSITAT JAUME I / CULTURAL STUDIES JOURNAL OF UNIVERSITAT JAUME I Remediation of Moving Bodies: Aesthetic Perceptions of a Live, Digitised and Animated Dance Performance PAULINE BROOKS LIVERPOOL JOHN MOORES UNIVERSITY ABSTRACT: This article discusses the dance performance project Interface 2, which involved live dancers, animated computer projections (remediated creations of the live section), and the interface of live dancers with dancers on film. It analyses the responses and perceptions of an audience to the changing transformations of the media and the staging of the dance performance. Alongside these responses, I compare and contrast some of the philosophical and aesthetic debates from the past three decades regarding dance and technology in performance, including that of the tension between the acceptance or rejection of «unnatural» remediated bodies and «natural» live bodies moving in the stage space. Keywords: Dance, Remediation, Live, Film, Computer animated. RESUMEN: Este artículo aborda el proyecto de danza Interface 2, que agrupaba bailarines en directo, proyecciones animadas por ordenador (creaciones transducidas de la sección en vivo) y la interfaz de bailarines en vivo con bailarines filmados. Se analizan la respuesta y percepciones del público hacia las transformaciones continuas de los medios tecnológicos de la puesta en escena de la danza. Igualmente, se comparan y contrastan algunos de los debates filosóficos y estéticos de las últimas tres décadas en relación con la danza y el uso de la tecnología en la representación, en particular el referente a la tensión entre la aceptación o rechazo de la falta de «naturalidad» de los cuerpos transducidos y la «naturalidad» de los cuerpos en vivo moviéndose por el espacio escénico.

  • MASSEY Dave Slreport S17
    Parts II-V Sabbatical Leave Report II. Re-statement of Sabbatical Leave Application The intention behind this sabbatical proposal is to study contemporary dance forms from internationally and nationally recognized artists in Israel, Europe, and the U.S. The plan is to take daily dance class, week long workshops, to observe dance class and company rehearsals, and interview directors, choreographers, and artists to gain further insight into their movement creation process. This study will benefit my teaching, choreographic awareness, and movement research, which will benefit my students and my department as courses are enhanced by new methodologies, techniques and strategies. The second part of this plan is to visit California colleges and universities to investigate how contemporary dance is being built into their curriculum. Creating a dialogue with my colleagues about this developing dance genre will be important as my department implements contemporary dance into its curriculum. The third part of the sabbatical is to co-produce a dance concert in the San Diego area showcasing choreography that has been created using some of the new methodologies, techniques and strategies founded and discussed while on sabbatical. I will document all hours in a spreadsheet submitted with my sabbatical report. I estimate 580 hours. III. Completion of Objectives, Description of Activities Objective #1: a. To explore, learn, and document best practices in Contemporary Dance b. I started my sabbatical researching contemporary dance and movement. I scoured the web for journals, magazines, videos that gave me insight into how people in dance were talking about this contemporary genre. I also read several books that were thought-provoking about contemporary movement, training and the contemporary dancer.

Transborder TheorIes and ParadIgms In EthnomusIcological StudIes of Folk MusIc: VIsIons for Mo Lam in Mainland Southeast Asia ThIs talk explores the nature and IdentIty of tradItIonal musIc, prIncIpally khaen musIc and lam performIng arts In northeastern ThaIland (Isan) and Laos. Mo lam refers to an expert of lam singIng who Is routInely accompanIed by a mo khaen, a skIlled player of the bamboo panpIpe. DurIng 1972 and 1973, Dr. ChonpaIrot conducted fIeld studIes on Mo lam in northeast Thailand and Laos with Dr. Terry E. Miller. For many generatIons, LaotIan and Thai villagers have crossed the natIonal border constItuted by the Mekong RIver to visit relatIves and to partIcipate In regular festivals. However, ChonpaIrot and Miller’s fieldwork took place durIng the fInal stages of the VIetnam War which had begun more than a decade earlIer. DurIng theIr fIeldwork they collected cassette recordings of lam singIng from LaotIan radIo statIons In VIentIane and Savannakhet. ChonpaIrot also conducted fieldwork among Laotian artists living in Thai refugee camps. After the VIetnam War ended, many more Laotians who had worked for the AmerIcans fled to ThaI refugee camps. ChonpaIrot delIneated Mo lam regIonal melodIes coupled to specIfic IdentItIes In each locality of the music’s origin. He chose Lam Khon Savan from southern Laos for hIs dIssertation topIc, and also collected data from senIor Laotian mo lam tradItion-bearers then resIdent In the United States and France.

  • Music, Dance and Swans the Influence Music Has on Two Choreographies of the Scene Pas D’Action (Act
    Music, Dance and Swans The influence music has on two choreographies of the scene Pas d’action (Act. 2 No. 13-V) from Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake Naam: Roselinde Wijnands Studentnummer: 5546036 BA Muziekwetenschap BA Eindwerkstuk, MU3V14004 Studiejaar 2017-2018, block 4 Begeleider: dr. Rebekah Ahrendt Deadline: June 15, 2018 Universiteit Utrecht 1 Abstract The relationship between music and dance has often been analysed, but this is usually done from the perspective of the discipline of either music or dance. Choreomusicology, the study of the relationship between dance and music, emerged as the field that studies works from both point of views. Choreographers usually choreograph the dance after the music is composed. Therefore, the music has taken the natural place of dominance above the choreography and can be said to influence the choreography. This research examines the influence that the music has on two choreographies of Pas d’action (act. 2 no. 13-V), one choreographed by Lev Ivanov, the other choreographed by Rudolf Nureyev from the ballet Swan Lake composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky by conducting a choreomusicological analysis. A brief history of the field of choreomusicology is described before conducting the analyses. Central to these analyses are the important music and choreography accents, aligning dance steps alongside with musical analysis. Examples of the similarities and differences between the relationship between music and dance of the two choreographies are given. The influence music has on these choreographies will be discussed. The results are that in both the analyses an influence is seen in the way the choreography is built to the music and often follows the music rhythmically.

  • Exegesis for Phd in Creative Practice SVEBOR SEČAK Shakespeare's Hamlet in Ballet—A Neoclassical and Postmodern Contemporary Approach
    Exegesis for PhD in Creative Practice SVEBOR SEČAK Shakespeare's Hamlet in Ballet—A Neoclassical and Postmodern Contemporary Approach INTRODUCTION In this exegesis I present my PhD project which shows the transformation from a recording of a neoclassical ballet performance Hamlet into a post-postmodern artistic dance video Hamlet Revisited. I decided to turn to my own choreography of the ballet Hamlet which premiered at the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb in 2004, in order to revise it with a goal to demonstrate the neoclassical and the contemporary postmodern approach, following the research question: How to transform an archival recording of a neoclassical ballet performance into a new artistic dance video by implementing postmodern philosophical concepts? This project is a result of my own individual transformations from a principal dancer who choreographs the leading role for himself, into a more self-reflective mature artist as a result of aging, the socio-political changes occurring in my working and living environment, and my academic achievements, which have exposed me to the latest philosophical and theoretical approaches. Its significance lies in establishing communication between neoclassical and postmodern approaches, resulting in a contemporary post-postmodern artistic work that elucidates the process in the artist's mind during the creative practice. It complements my artistic and scholarly work and is an extension built on my previous achievements implementing new comprehensions. As a life-long ballet soloist and choreographer my area of interest is the performing arts, primarily ballet and dance and the dualism between the abstract and the narrative approaches 1 Exegesis for PhD in Creative Practice SVEBOR SEČAK Shakespeare's Hamlet in Ballet—A Neoclassical and Postmodern Contemporary Approach to ballet works1.

    Set in Motion: Dance Criticism and the Choreographic Apparatus By Kate Mattingly A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Performance Studies and the Designated Emphasis in New Media in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Shannon Jackson, Chair Professor Abigail De Kosnik Professor Anton Kaes Professor SanSan Kwan Spring 2017 Copyright © Kate Mattingly All Rights Reserved Abstract Set in Motion: Dance Criticism and the Choreographic Apparatus By Kate Mattingly Doctor of Philosophy in Performance Studies Designated Emphasis in New Media University of California, Berkeley Professor Shannon Jackson, Chair This dissertation examines the multiple functions of dance criticism in the 20th and 21st centuries in the United States. I foreground institutional interdependencies that shape critics’ practices, as well as criticism’s role in approaches to dance-making, and the necessary and fraught relations between dance criticism and higher education. To challenge the pervasive image of the critic as evaluator and of criticism as definitive, Set in Motion focuses on conditions that produce and endorse certain forms of criticism, and in turn how this writing has gained traction. I employ the concept of a choreographic apparatus to show shifting relations amongst writers, artists, publications, readers, institutions, and audiences. Their interactions generate frameworks that influence dance’s history, canon, and disciplinary formations. I propose a way of situating criticism as a form of writing that intersects with, informs, and influences both history and theory. Set in Motion expands discourse on writing by examining the continuities and discontinuities in practices over the course of a century.
