  • LDS Deaf Symposium
    August 2011 Volume 35.03 LDS Deaf Symposium The LDS Deaf Symposium was held in the Institute of Religion building at Weber State University from July 6th - 10th. The event was a resounding success, with over 220 LDS Deaf participants from 12 states throughout the US, and some from Canada, with a few more showing up as last-minute paying non-registrants, and an estimated 350 people attended the Sunday Services. The theme of our Symposium, ―Stand Ye In Holy Places, and Be Not Moved‖ was well represented by the events that took place during and at the Symposium. The workshop presenters were wonderful as they each took a topic close to their hearts and shared with us what they learned. These presenters were: Craig and Jill Radford, Brandon Dopf, Nathan Van deGraaf, David ―Jerry‖ Wilding, Cherie Hodson, Steven Snow, Stephanie Mathis, Brad Houck, Leon Curtis, Ken Kinner, Christian Larsen, Joseph Feath- erstone, Don Cochran, Dale Boam, Robert and Virginia Powers, Carol Barnes, Maralin Hoff, and Chip Royce. These workshops were provided all day on Thursday. Thursday evening we heard from Sister Lori Featherstone, from the General Young Women Board. She gave a talk on the theme of the Symposium. Friday and Saturday mornings were workshops; Friday afternoon, some adults and youths did temple work in the Boun- tiful Temple, other adults went sightseeing etc. Friday evening was spent playing a game called Mormonology where we were tested on our Church History. Saturday evening was the Banquet and dinner was catered by Joe Morley. The entertainment for the evening was 1) seeing a DVD on ―The Helpful President‖ created by the Washington DC Deaf Branch which won first place in a contest they participated 2 years ago.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-68298-5 - Plato: The Symposium Edited by M. C. Howatson and Frisbee C. C. Sheffield Excerpt More information The Symposium (‘The Drinking Party’) APOLLODORUS: I believe I am quite well prepared to relate the events 172a you are asking me about, for just the other day I happened to be going into Athens from my home in Phalerum1 when an acquaintance of mine caught sight of me from behind and called after me, jokily,2 ‘Phalerian! You there, Apollodorus! Wait for me, will you?’ So I stopped and waited. ‘I have just been looking for you, Apollodorus. I wanted to get from you the story about that party of Agathon’s with Socrates, Alcibiades and the rest, the time when they were all together at dinner, and to hear 172b what they said in their speeches on the subject of love. Someone else was telling me, who had heard about it from Phoenix, son of Philippus, and he said that you knew about it too. Actually he could not give any clear account of it, so you must tell me. You are in the best position to report the words of your friend.3 But tell me this first’, he went on. ‘Were you at that party yourself or not?’ ‘It certainly looks as if your informant was rather confused’, I replied, 172c ‘if you think the party you are asking about occurred recently enough for me to be there’. ‘Yes, I did think so’, he replied. Certain words in the text carry footnotes giving their (transliterated) Greek originals, or related words, in italics.

    19th Annual Oxford Dance Symposium ‘Dance and the City’ New College, Oxford, 18 & 19 April 2017 Abstracts Of Papers 19th Annual Oxford Dance Symposium ‘Dance and the City’ New College, Oxford, 18 & 19 April 2017 Olive Baldwin, Thelma Wilson Essex Few and far between: female dancing teachers in eighteenth century British cities The most cursory look at eighteenth-century newspapers reveals a large number of schools in British cities that offered dancing as an extra, taught by ‘proper masters’, ‘able masters’, ‘eminent masters’ and, by the end of the period, ‘professors of dancing’. Many of these masters combined attendance at boarding schools with running their own establishments for the teaching of social dancing to both children and adults. It might be thought that principals of schools for young ladies would have preferred female dance teachers, and that fathers might have seen male dance teachers as a threat to the virtue of their daughters, and so preferred lady teachers, but this was not the case. Indeed female dance teachers were very few and far between. This paper will explore why it was very difficult for women to support themselves by teaching dancing in British cities and towns, and why they managed to do so successfully in both Bath and Edinburgh. It will look in detail at the careers and personalities of the women who worked as teachers of dance in these two centres. 19th Annual Oxford Dance Symposium ‘Dance and the City’ New College, Oxford, 18 & 19 April 2017 Ricardo Barros Royal Academy of Music From the ‘Terreiro’ to the ‘Paço’ – The extraordinary journey of a dance form in colonial Rio de Janeiro The year is 1807.

  • Call for Contributions Historical-Dance-Symposium-2020
    Call for Contributions The Ball Pleasure - Power - Politics 1400 - 1900 10 - 14 June 2020 Burg Rothenfels am Main, Germany The ball, an almost universal social phenomenon whether in palaces, assembly halls or private houses, has a multi- tude of historical facets. As its name suggests, the ball is dedicated to the pleasure of dancing in various forms and styles. A special, festively designed form of public engagement, it is also a setting for demonstrations of princely power, staged rituals, pains- takingly controlled etiquette and meticulous self-presentation. Last not least, political and social developments, evolutions or revolutions, are reflected in the ballrooms of Europe. The main theme of the symposium is the phenomenon of the ball across five centuries from 1400 to 1900. The following aspects might serve as an inspiration for lectures, workshops and other contributions. - Forms of its organisation, from royal court balls ("bal à la francaise", "bal paré", Viennese court ball, etc.), dance events for a broader public (e.g. ridotti) to house balls: procedure, places (dance halls), times and occasions (wedding balls, charity balls), ball regulations, ceremonies and rituals, etiquette, costumes and masques, ... - Participants: dancers, musicians, dance masters, organisers, ... - Dance forms and repertoire: collective versus couple dances, evolution of dance forms, dance codes, ... - Social and political influences: the ball in the Enlightenment, the revolution of the waltz, the political use of balls, ... - The question of identity: national and regional varieties, imitations, fashions and characteristics, ... - Its function: visualisation of a social hierarchy, demonstrations of princely power, bourgeois self-presenta- tion, erotic encounters, liberation of everyday live, ... - Interactions between ballroom and stage: ball scenes on stage, stage dance in the ballroom, ..
