  • British Travelers and Egyptian 'Dancing Girls:' Locating
    British Travelers and Egyptian ‘Dancing Girls:’ Locating Imperialism, Gender, and Sexuality in the Politics of Representation, 1834-1870 by Robin Bunton B.A. (Hons.), University of British Columbia, 2015 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences © Robin Bunton SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2017 Copyright in this work rests with the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Robin Bunton Degree: Master of Arts (History) Title: British Travelers and Egyptian ‘Dancing Girls:’ Locating Imperialism, Gender, and Sexuality in the Politics of Representation, 1834-1870 Examining Committee: Chair: Mark Leier Professor Thomas Kuehn Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Paul Sedra Supervisor Associate Professor Evodoxios Doxiadis Supervisor Assistant Professor Azadeh Yamini-Hamedani External Examiner Associate Professor World Literature Program Simon Fraser University Date Defended/Approved: August 4th, 2017 ii Abstract This project examines representations of two categories of Egyptian female entertainers, the ‘awâlim and ghawâzî. By situating Egypt’s ‘dancing girls’ in relation to the socio- cultural context of nineteenth-century Britain, it seeks to determine how gendered dynamics of power were culturally constructed and negotiated around these women. Such an approach breaks from previous historiographical contributions to the topic of Egyptian female entertainers by considering the wider implications of imperial power, gender, and sexuality within the politics of their representation. Chapter Two analyzes the cultural significance of the 1834 banishment of the ‘awâlim and ghawâzî from Cairo, and proposes alternative historical perspectives.

  • Versa-Style Dance Repertory Study Guide
    VERSA-STYLE DANCE REPERTORY GUIDE Versa-Style Dance Repertory Study Guide 1 VERSA-STYLE DANCE REPERTORY GUIDE Dear Educators, Versa-Style is a group of young, passionate, and socially-conscious artists who work endlessly to spread love, positivity, and knowledge through the medium of Hip-Hop dance. As a non-profit organization, Versa-Style serves two purposes; one focus of our organization is to tour as a professional dance company, and the other is to give back to the youth through community outreach. Our goal is to give Hip-Hop more representation in both the professional arts world and in our Los Angeles community as an outlet for underprivileged inner-city youth. We take pride in being able to teach both students and educators about the positive impact Hip- Hop dance and culture has on the youth while also clearing up some of the negative stigmas associated with Hip-Hop in our society. I hope the information and activities in these lessons resonate with some of your students. Please take the time to go through each lesson to the best of your ability prior to the show in order to make the performance a more meaningful experience. Each lesson follows both VAPA and California Common Core standards and is a tool to help your students find connections between Hip-Hop dance and subjects they are currently studying. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have on this curriculum or Versa-Style Dance Company and our work. Thank you for all you do for our youth! Sincerely, Brandon Juezan Project Manager and Principal Dancer of Versa-Style

    “HIP-HOP, IS IT REALLY SERIOUS?” Show created for 5 performers, from 7 years old Duration: 1 hour – With a possibility of a 15-minute debate with the audience at the​ end of the show. “Hip-hop, is it really serious?” is a piece full of ​ humor in which the Choreographer Séverine Bidaud, relates her discovery of hip-hop dance with ease and derision. Co-written with Marion ​ Aubert, in a dynamic and offbeat staging carried out with Delphine Lacouque, this show is ​ halfway between dance and theater. With 5 dancers on stage and based on a selection of archival images, it offers a singular, moving and ​ generous vision of hip-hop dance history. ​ As a funny and lively speaker, Séverine Bidaud quotes the main hip-hop dancers who has influenced her own artistic career. These mythical figures that have been chosen wisely enable her to retrace the origin of hip-hop movement, its roots and its influences, from its emergence in the USA in the 1970s to nowadays. Locking, popping, break... Based on archival images, different techniques of hip-hop dance are thus introduced in a playful and educational way. Related through anecdote and technique, this history of hip-hop dance is first and foremost a tribute to those who have trained generations of dancers and who continue to make this practice evolve.
