She was wearing a Bob Jones University sweatshirt. I remembered being a kid, standing on the bridge over the Pine Tree Brook, when we would find a wax six-ring holder from a six-pack the older kids had killed. We would touch a match to one corner, hold it over the water, and just watch it drip, drip, drip. Six rings of wax, twisting and contorting permanently, doing a spastic death dance like the one Christopher Lee does at the end in Horror Of Dracula when the sunlight hits him. The minutes dripped by, each one totally bending and twisting my shape. We stopped getting up to flip the tape, and just listened to dead air. I could already tell there were things happening deep inside me that were irreversible. I remembering that we discussed The Towering Inferno that night, the scene with Steve McQueen, the valiant firefighter, and William Holden, the evil tycoon who owns the hotel. And all fires are bad!

For Rob Sheffield, that time was one of miraculous love and unbearable grief. A time that spanned seven years, it started when he met the girl of his dreams, and ended when he watched her die in his arms. Using the listings of fifteen of his favorite mix tapes, Rob shows that the power of music to build a bridge between people is stronger than death. Love is a mix tape. About the Author.

Rob and Renee's life together - they wed after graduate school, both became music journalists, and were married only five years when Renee died suddenly on Mother's Day, - is shared through the window of the mix tapes they obsessively compiled. There are mixes to court each other, mixes for road trips, mixes for doing the dishes, mixes for sleeping - and, eventually, mixes to mourn Rob's greatest loss. Get A Copy. Hardcover , pages.

Start your review of Love Is a Mix Tape. Hell, it may be all of that and more to just about anyone. Consider yourself warned. Do you know where you were when you heard that Kurt Cobain was dead? What was the song that was playing the first time you slow danced? Okay, enough. You get it. Confession time: I was a groupie. I was. Duran Duran was my group of choice. Those bastard fans in Wham! We knew how to obsess. There is still a bond among us. Damn Bono. Those bass lines are awesome! I knew I loved John Taylor for more than his bangs and impeccable fashion sense! I never knew that certain instruments made certain sounds. I was just used to the end product. Boys can be so dumb. Maurice actually brought me to my first Duran Duran show. I was so proud of him. How many boyfriends will do that? I may have been a groupie, but Maurice was a full out audiophile. To the point of annoyance.. Zeppelin 4! Did you know that Rolling Stone rated it only 66 out of the top albums! What assholes! And so on. I was concerned. I was somewhat petrified. This guy was a prog rock fan. He mailed me the tape. I was living in Boston at the time, he was in the boondocks of NH. I held it. I read the songs. I put it on my desk. I went out for ice cream. Around day 3, I finally had the room to myself living in a boarding house with 40 other woman, that was a feat and carefully placed it in my boom box. She's a lady, she is mine. Brush back your hair, and let me get to know your flesh. Anyway, this book. This could be Maurice and me. Maurice would probably know… he knew all the rock critics. But, this story… these mix tapes. They spoke to me in a completely sappy selfish way. I see a lot of Maurice in Rob. I had no idea that this was a sad love story.

Her concerns seemed less arcane, her presentation more appealingly worked out; as Guy Scarpetta put it in he Nouvel Observateur (May 19, 1980), she now intro- duced into "theoretical rigor an effective measure of seduction." Actually, no sudden change has taken place: the features that are noticeable in Powers of Horror were already in evidence in several earlier essays, some of which have been translated in Desire in Language (Columbia University Press, 1980).

  • The Evolution of Yeats's Dance Imagery
    THE EVOLUTION OF YEATS’S DANCE IMAGERY: THE BODY, GENDER, AND NATIONALISM Deng-Huei Lee, B.A., M.A. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2003 APPROVED: David Holdeman, Major Professor Peter Shillingsburg, Committee Member Scott Simpkins, Committee Member Brenda Sims, Chair of Graduate Studies in English James Tanner, Chair of the Department of English C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Lee, Deng-Huei, The Evolution of Yeats’s Dance Imagery: The Body, Gender, and Nationalism. Doctor of Philosophy (British Literature), August 2003, 168 pp., 6 illustrations, 147 titles. Tracing the development of his dance imagery, this dissertation argues that Yeats’s collaborations with various early modern dancers influenced his conceptions of the body, gender, and Irish nationalism. The critical tendency to read Yeats’s dance emblems in light of symbolist- decadent portrayals of Salome has led to exaggerated charges of misogyny, and to neglect of these emblems’ relationship to the poet’s nationalism. Drawing on body criticism, dance theory, and postcolonialism, this project rereads the politics that underpin Yeats’s idea of the dance, calling attention to its evolution and to the heterogeneity of its manifestations in both written texts and dramatic performances. While the dancer of Yeats’s texts follow the dictates of male-authored scripts, those in actual performances of his works acquired more agency by shaping choreography. In addition to working directly with Michio Ito and Ninette de Valois, Yeats indirectly collaborated with such trailblazers of early modern dance as Loie Fuller, Isadora Duncan, Maud Allan, and Ruth St.

  • Towards the Theories and Practice of the Dance Art
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 4 No. 4 [Special Issue – February 2014] Towards the Theories and Practice of the Dance Art Uji Charles, PhD Awuawuer Tijime Justin Department of Dramatic Arts Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria. Abstract The issues confronted by most choreographers, dance teachers and dance critics are the problems relating to the theories and practice of dance as an art, vis-à-vis conceptualizing it as an arts genre that permeates all facets of human life and culture without recourse to the fact that like any other art, dance is entirely within the domains of theories. Even most choreographers and dancers ‘believe’ that they are outside of theory, outside of discourse, in the pure domain of technique, effect, or communication. To this end, four theories are identified in this paper as fundamental models in the theory and practice of dance. These theories are philosophical aesthetic theory; choreologists aesthetic theory; sociological aesthetic theory; and medical/therapeutic dance theory. Thus, various functionalities of dance will be discussed in relation to specific theories that are afore mentioned. After a critical discourse, this paper positions dance as an art, ritual, or recreation that goes beyond the functional purposes of the movements used in work or athletics in order to express emotions, moods, or ideas; tell a story; serve religious, political, economic, or social needs; or simply be an experience that is pleasurable, exciting, or aesthetically valuable. Thus, the desire of this paper is to unravel the mystery behind the mastery and the mystery of human movement and to encourage wider participation in the art of dance as any artistic genre.

  • Department of Music & Dance
    Department of Music & Dance Fall 2017 College of Humanities & Fine Arts Fanfare HE ARTS ARE ESSENTIAL in our lives, and we are thriving at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. As I complete my first year as chair of the Department of Music and Dance, I am fully realizing how privileged I am to lead such distinguished faculty, dedicated staff, and talented students. My initial impressions of the department’s excel- Tlence, vibrancy, and artistic achievement have proven to be right on the mark. As you will learn from this issue of Fanfare, the past year has been an active and productive one. Although, like all arts departments in institutions of higher education, we are facing challenges, this is an outstanding place in which musi- cians and dancers are flourishing. I am especially pleased that we continue to work together to make meaningful strides in advancing our already first-rate programs. We have hired new faculty and staff who will help to enrich the educational experiences we offer students. We are reaching out to our sister arts departments of theater and visual arts to forge new collaborations. We are working with the College of Humanities and Fine Arts to enhance the profile of the Department of Music and Dance within the university, the region, and the nation. In sum, our future is a bright one. Our students continue to achieve national distinction. Our faculty continue to prosper as creative artists and to share their artistry near and far. As I continue my efforts during the coming year to assist students and colleagues in developing shared visions, fulfilling professional aspirations, and pursuing artistic and academic goals, I invite you to join me.
