  • African American Philosophy
    African American Dance - Philosophy, Aesthetics, and “Beauty” Thomas F. DeFrantz “A metaphysics, ontology, epistemology, or aesthetics is necessarily distorted by communicative practices which invariably include inherited and privileged structures, forms, assumptions, and codes that remain unstated. The subject, on such accounts, may be considered problematic because the subject may inappropriately present its ideas as ones that surmount the limitations of what it is to be a subject - contextually bounded.” (Harris, 1996: 197) Aesthetics in dance, and especially the terms of “beauty” as they might relate to African American artistry, remain extremely difficult to discuss. How can aesthetic theory be engaged in relation to African American dance practice? What sorts of aesthetic imperatives surround African American dance and how does black performance make sense of these imperatives?” Who names the quality of performance, or who determines that a performance may be accurately recognized as “black? More than this, how can African American dance participate on its own terms in a discourse of “beauty?” This essay offers portions of my current research project to consider the recuperation of “beauty” as a productive critical strategy in discussions of African American dance. I argue that black performance in general, and African American concert dance in particular, seek to create aesthetic sites that allow black Americans to participate in discourses of recognition and appreciation to include concepts of “beauty.” In this, I suggest that “beauty” may indeed produce social change for its attendant audiences. I also propose that interrogating the notion of “beauty” may allow for social change among audiences that include dance theorists and philosophers.

  • Presented by Dancecleveland, Tri-C Performing Arts, the Joyce Theater Foundation, Northrop, and PMG ARTS Management 1
    Presented by DANCECleveland, Tri-C Performing Arts, The Joyce Theater Foundation, Northrop, and PMG ARTS Management 1 WELCOME! As the saying goes, ‘It takes a village to raise a child’ in our case it also refers to presenting a dance performance. With the cancellation of our entire season, it seemed impossible to imagine that we would have the chance to see a ‘live performance’ at all this year. Then the stars aligned. Northrop at the University of Minnesota, whose original live performance of Ronald K. Brown/EVIDENCE was to be the week following our performance here in Cleveland, wondered if it might be possible to broadcast a live performance of the Company to all of our patrons? With that, the Joyce Theater in New York City joined the conversation to share that they had been developing both the technology and the technical expertise to bring this idea about. With both a Director, Producer, multiple cameras, an expanse of time for rehearsal on stage and with all of us providing funds into the project, the impossible has become possible. As the idea has taken shape, Northrop took the lead in developing a series of additional events which we thought were both relevant and timely and excited to be able to share as part of the performance series. So without further ado, DANCECleveland, Cuyahoga Community College along with partners Northrop and the Joyce Theater present (drum roll please) Ronald K. Brown/EVIDENCE…..LIVE FROM THE JOYCE THEATER!!!!!!! Enjoy the Performance! Pamela Young Executive Director DANCECleveland Terri Pontremoli Director, Tri-C JazzFest & the Performing Arts Cuyahoga Community College 2 ARTISTIC DIRECTOR RONALD K.

  • Broadway Starts to Rock: Musical Theater Orchestrations and Character, 1968-1975 By
    Broadway Starts to Rock: Musical Theater Orchestrations and Character, 1968-1975 By Elizabeth Sallinger M.M., Duquesne University, 2010 B.A., Pennsylvania State University, 2008 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Musicology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Paul R. Laird Roberta Freund Schwartz Bryan Kip Haaheim Colin Roust Leslie Bennett Date Defended: 5 December 2016 ii The dissertation committee for Elizabeth Sallinger certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Broadway Starts to Rock: Musical Theater Orchestrations and Character, 1968-1975 Chair: Paul R. Laird Date Approved: 5 December 2016 iii Abstract In 1968, the sound of the Broadway pit was forever changed with the rock ensemble that accompanied Hair. The musical backdrop for the show was appropriate for the countercultural subject matter, taking into account the popular genres of the time that were connected with such figures, and marrying them to other musical styles to help support the individual characters. Though popular styles had long been part of Broadway scores, it took more than a decade for rock to become a major influence in the commercial theater. The associations an audience had with rock music outside of a theater affected perception of the plot and characters in new ways and allowed for shows to be marketed toward younger demographics, expanding the audience base. Other shows contemporary to Hair began to include rock music and approaches as well; composers and orchestrators incorporated instruments such as electric guitar, bass, and synthesizer, amplification in the pit, and backup singers as components of their scores.
