We have one of the longest traditions of undergraduate research in SUNY and each year our number of student researchers grows. This year we have over 450 students participating. This tradition provides a unique and exciting opportunity for Buffalo State students to showcase research and creative activities from all academic disciplines. During this two-day event many of our talented students will exhibit their work in a variety of venues such as theatrical and musical performances, gallery exhibits, posters, talks, and demonstrations. It is through research that we acquire new knowledge, solve many problems and discover new approaches and information for existing theories and laws. Studies have shown that research enhances what students learn in the classroom; engages their intellectual curiosity; satisfies their thirst for discovery, and provides an outlet for their creativity. We believe that many of our students also gain self-confidence and grow intellectually by engaging in research and creative activities. Additionally, research fosters meaningful and long-lasting relationships between a student and his or her faculty mentor and advisor. These relationships often extend beyond graduation and help to keep our alumni connected to the institution and returning to inspire current students. At Buffalo State we are proud of our efforts to provide stimulating and meaningful initiatives for our students to learn, grow and develop into strong leaders and solid citizens. The Annual Student Research and Creativity Celebration is certainly one of our premier learning initiatives. I congratulate and commend the talented students who are participating in this year’s celebration. I also thank the faculty mentors and advisers who work with such commitment and dedication to bring our students to this level of scholarship. Again, welcome to all. I hope that you enjoy the 17th Annual Student Research and Creativity Celebration at Buffalo State College. Katherine Conway-Turner, Ph.D. President Recommendations for effective educational experiences of college students emphasize the importance of engagement, high-impact learning, student-faculty interaction and experiential learning. All of the above and more are found in the student experiences we embrace at the 17th Annual Student Research and Creativity Celebration. This celebration is a showcase of the artistic, creative, and intellectual accomplishments of Buffalo State students. It is an opportunity to acknowledge the mentorship of Buffalo State faculty as they assist students in project design, with problem solving, and in experiencing the joy of intellectual discovery. The celebration is an all-campus event magnificently organized and coordinated by Dr. Jill Singer with the support of the Sponsored Programs office, Dean Mark Severson, and many students, faculty, and staff. Thanks to Dr. Singer and to all involved in the planning and implementation of this annual event. And a special appreciation to all who attend and support Buffalo State in our 17th Student Research and Creativity Celebration. Dennis Ponton, Ph.D. Provost Welcome! Welcome to the Student Research and Creativity Celebration! This year’s ‘Celebration’ is Buffalo State’s 17th and the largest ever with over 375 presentations, art exhibits, and performances. Listen as students share their personal and disciplinary discoveries in the pursuit of new knowledge, deeper understandings, and new works of art. The conversations span the arts, humanities, education, natural and social sciences, and computer and engineering technology. Many presentations address community themes, while others reflect scholarly projects that involved international travel. But whether local or 1000s of miles from Buffalo State, the students presenting today have gained an appreciation of the research process, overcoming myriad challenges, and the confidence that they can make meaningful contributions to their discipline while gaining skills that will serve them well as they embark upon graduate school and throughout their professional careers. Guiding the students along their journey of discovery are dedicated faculty members that provide guidance and encouragement. The direct and indirect benefits of mentoring are not easily quantified, but the interactions between mentor and researcher can nurture the joys of learning and contribute to the student’s long-term success. As undergraduate research continues to gain momentum on campuses across the country, Buffalo State contributes to conversations about effective models for integrating undergraduate research into the curriculum and evaluating the impact of undergraduate research. The Student Research and Creativity Celebration is the culmination of many months of planning and requires the support and assistance from individuals and offices across the Buffalo State campus. I gratefully acknowledge all these individual efforts and enthusiasm shared by the campus for this event. This year, I want to especially thank Dr. Dennis Ponton, Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs. Dr. Ponton has announced his retirement, and

  • 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.

  • Voices of Eternal Spring
    Voices of Eternal Spring: A study of the Hingcun diau Song Family and Other Folk Songs of the Hingcun Area, Taiwan Submitted for PhD By Chien Shang-Jen Department of Music University of Sheffield January 2009 Chapter Four The Developmental Process and Historical Background of Hingcun Diau and Its Song Family Introduction The previous three chapters of this thesis detailed the three major systems of Taiwanese folksongs - Aboriginal, Holo and Hakka. Concentrating on the area of Hingcun, one of the primary cradles of Holo folksongs, these three chapters also explored how the geographical conditions, natural landscape, and historical and cultural background of the area influence local folksongs and what the mutual relations between these factors and the local folksongs are. Furthermore, the three chapters studied in depth not only the background, characteristics and cultural influences of each of the Hingcun folk songs but also local prominent folksong figures, major accompanying musical instruments, musical activities and so on. Chapter Four narrows the focus specifically to Hingcun diau and its song family. In this chapter, on the one hand, I examine carefully the changes in Hingcun diau and its song family activated from within a culture; on the other hand, I also pay attention to the changes in these songs caused by their contact with other cultures.1 In other words, in addition to a careful study of the origin, developmental process and historical background of Hingcun diau and its song family, I shall also dissect how the interaction of different ethnic groups, languages used in the area, political and economic factors, and various local cultures influence Hingcun diau and its song family, and what the mutual relations between the former factors and Hingcun diau and its song family are.

Since his earliest dance works, unique balance is struck between literature and dance texts, mainland China and Taiwan, the East and the West, dance and humanities. This thesis begins from the perspectives of literary, eastern symbols, body language and music. It analyzes the artistic characteristics of Lin Hwai-min’s dance works, aiming to reveal the essence of choreographs. Keywords: Lin Hwai-min, Cloud Gate Dance Theatre, Choreography. This is an open access article under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License. 1. Introduction On February 20th, 2013, Lin Hwai-min, a Taiwanese choreographer, was awarded the 2013 Samuel H. Scripps American Dance Festival Award for Lifetime Achievement by the American Dance Festival, one of the most authoritative institutions for contemporary dance in the world. The award celebrates choreographers who significantly contribute to contemporary dance, with previous recipients including Martha Graham, Merce Cunningham, Paul Taylor, Trisha Brown, Pina Bausch, and William Forsythe. In awarding Mr. Lin, the American Dance Festival said, “Mr. Lin’s fearless zeal for the art form has established him as one of the most dynamic and innovative choreographers today.” (The welcome letter for Lin Hwai-min for 2013 Samuel H.

  • Contra Costa Times
    Posted on Wed, Oct. 29, 2003 Originality rules Cai's colorful style By Mary Ellen Hunt TIMES CORRESPONDENT ONE OF THE foremost Chinese dance companies in the Bay Area, Lily Cai Chinese Dance Company blends the color and vividness of traditional Chinese folk dances with Lily Cai's own style of movement centered from the core of the body. It is a technique similar to the tai chi-based methods used by Cloud Gate Dance Theater of Taiwan. San Francisco-based Lily Cai, which celebrates its 15th anniversary this year, brings its own special brand of dance theater to the stage with performances Nov. 14-15 at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. And like Cloud Gate's Lin Hwai-Min, Cai choreographs to a slower rhythm. Her 1997 work "Candelas," which is set to the Adagietto of Mahler's Fifth Symphony and which audiences will have a chance to see again on the November program, has an elegiac simplicity to it. But whereas Cloud Gate infuses its work with Western influences from Martha Graham to tanztheater, Cai consciously strives to keep her own style, derived purely from her own roots. "I have never trained at all (in modern dance)," Cai says. "It doesn't mean I don't want to learn other things, and I watch a lot of other groups' performances. But ideally I do not want to get into a modern dance style, because sooner or later, you become somebody else." Cai, who emigrated from China to the United States in 1983, began her career as a principal dancer in both ballet and folk dance at the Shanghai Opera House.

Vocal art regains attention and value after hundred years of ever changing music trends. Capable Art: Songs of producing not only rich and broad textures but also lifelike mimicry of sounds, the nearly unlimited human voice is set of Unlimited free by composer’s imagination. With mutual assistance from electronic music, digital media and mechatronic installations, Sounds choral art will go beyond our imagination tonight. Human’s original musical performance type clashes with contemporary composers, and both contribute to the birth of Taipei Chamber Singers’ production “Music Unlimited VI—Void,” manifesting Taiwan’s rich creative energy. It is a delight to see TCS’s distinguished international ac- JU Tzong-Ching complishments since its establishment. The launch of “Music Chairman, Unlimited” project in 2006 not only expands the many pos- National Chiang Kai-Shek Cultural Center sibilities of vocal performance, but also provides a platform for contemporary choral music. “Music Unlimited VI—Void” is co-produced by the National Chiang Kai-Shek Cultural Center and Taipei Chamber Singers. For this production, we invite the Center for Digital Arts and Experimental Media (DXARTS) at the University of Washington (Seattle), outstanding compos- ers both in and out of Taiwan, dancers and theater artists to coordinate in the interdisciplinary performance of chorus and digital media, explore the great philosophical ideas in the essence of life, and portrays the oriental Zen aesthetics of one and none.
