  • It Was a Sunday Evening and I Was Tired from Rehearsing with New Works/World Traditions, the West African Dance Company. Howeve
    It was a Sunday evening and I was tired from rehearsing with New Works/World Traditions, the West African Dance Company. However, I walked back into Ashamu Dance Studio nervous, but satisfied with my decision to audition for FUSION Dance Company. FUSION Dance Company is a student run dance company that I had watched from the audience for my first three years at Brown. FUSION performs a mixture of dance styles including hip hop, lyrical, jazz, modern, African and tap. FUSION was the most popular and well-known dance group on campus, making itself visible throughout campus by performing in numerous venues such as departmental sponsored dance concerts, cultural events (such as the Ebony Soiree and the Brown Sistas United annual show), larger Brown community events(such as A Day on College Hill and Convocation) and most importantly at its annual 5 day show in Ashamu Dance Studio in March. I received notice that I was accepted into FUSION Dance Company the day after my audition. I was very excited by this new group- the energy that the group had on stage and its’ past enthralled me. Before every FUSION performance, the group’s historian would recite FUSION’s history or simply the “Fusion Tradition”: FUSION Dance Company was founded in 1983 by a group of 5 African American women who desired an outlet to express themselves through dance in a means by which they had not already found on campus. These women did not want to have to conform to the university imposed, modern day constraints on body shape, size, dance style, and choreography, so they founded FUSION Dance Company which today exists as a multi- cultural, multi-ethnic dance group of men and women who perform a variety of dance styles(including hip hop, lyrical, jazz, modern, African and tap).

    AN AMERICAN BELLY DANCER by DEVON RYAN POLYNONE A THESIS Presented to the Department of Dance and the Graduate School of the University of Oregon in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts June 2012 THESIS APPROVAL PAGE Student: Devon Ryan Polynone Title: An American Belly Dancer This thesis has been accepted and approved in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Fine Arts degree in the Department of Dance by: Steven Chatfield Chairperson Shannon Mockli Member Christian Cherry Member and Kimberly Andrews Espy Vice President for Research & Innovation/Dean of the Graduate School Original approval signatures are on file with the University of Oregon Graduate School. Degree awarded June 2012 ii © 2012 Devon Ryan Polynone iii THESIS ABSTRACT Devon Ryan Polynone Master of Fine Arts Department of Dance June 2012 Title: An American Belly Dancer The purpose of this research was to investigate the creative process of six professional American Belly Dancers: Shannon Conklin, Elena Villa, Lila McDaniel, TC Skinner, Manny Garcia, and Cera Byer. I took a class with each dancer, witnessed each dancer creating movement, and witnessed each dancer perform. After each experience I held discussions with each dancer. I learned that, for some of the dancers, music is everything, but for others, Belly Dance can be performed to any sound. For some of the dancers, Belly Dance is highly codified, and for others it is experimental. For some of the dancers, Belly Dance is a solo endeavor, but for others, dancing with a troupe is essential. Following these findings, I created six movement explorations – one based on each professional Belly Dancer in my study.
