  • Mid Island Performing Arts Festival Preamble 2 Aims of the Association
    1 MID ISLAND PERFORMING ARTS FESTIVAL PREAMBLE AIMS OF THE ASSOCIATION The Mid Island Performing Arts Festival is a volunteer-run, non-profit society whose purpose is to advance, promote and develop the Musical Competition Festival movement and to encourage the study and practice of music, dancing, and speech & dramatic arts. For more than 90 years, we have been organizing an annual festival to carry out these aims in Nanaimo and for the surrounding area. We quote from the Digest Report of the Federation of Canadian Musical Festivals: “Competition is essential in the conduct of a Festival. No non-competitive means can raise the same standard of performance to the same degree or create the same interest in striving to attain the highest levels of performance and appreciation. Competition is a means to an end and is not to be stressed to the exclusion of the Festival spirit. It is a means of pacing one another on the road to excellence and is to arise above rivalry.” The Festival spirit may be defined as the joy of participating with others in seeking the highest levels in the art of music and kindred arts. Inculcating this spirit in competitors, the audience, and the community is a priority for all those responsible for the operation of the Festivals. MIPAF gives a sincere welcome and thank-you to all those participating in this year’s festival: • our sponsors and patrons whose generosity makes our festival possible; • the performers who have practiced so diligently for the occasion; • the teachers who have worked so hard to prepare their students; • the adjudicators who have taken time out of busy schedules to offer their friendly critiques, give encouragement and share their knowledge; • an appreciative audience that ensures a successful festival by providing incentive to the performers.

Photo courtesy of Spaarnestad Fotoarchief. Luigem (West Flanders), 28 September 1918. Photo by Antony / © SOFAM Belgium 2003. The Low Countries. Jaargang 11 11 Foreword ριστον μν δωρ - Water is best. (Pindar) Water. There's too much of it, or too little. It's too salty, or too sweet. It wells up from the ground, carves itself a way through the land, and then it's called a river or a stream. It descends from the heavens in a variety of forms - as dew or hail, to mention just the extremes. And then, of course, there is the all-encompassing water which we call the sea, and which reminds us of the beginning of all things. The English once labelled the Netherlands across the North Sea ‘this indigested vomit of the sea’. But the Dutch went to work on that vomit, systematically and stubbornly: ‘... their tireless hands manufactured this land, / drained it and trained it and planed it and planned’ (James Brockway). As God's subcontractors they gradually became experts in living apart together. Look carefully at the first photo. The water has struck again. We're talking 1926. Gelderland. The small, stocky woman visiting the stricken province is Queen Wilhelmina. Without turning a hair she allows herself to be carried over the waters.

The hardcore music scene represents a radical departure from contemporary society. Rejecting the materialism, militarism, and hedonism of the mainstream music scene—and, by extension, modern culture—hardcore music presents an alternative lifestyle rooted in solidarity, equality, and liberty. Indeed, the culture of the hardcore scene approaches a transitive, nomadic model of an anarchistic commune built on resistance as a way of life.

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.
