Abstract This dissertation presents an exposition of the nature and qualities of altered ex- perience found in dance and dancing, and how the dimension of experience can be fostered in the pedagogical context of the modern dance class. Using a phenome- nological approach, this dissertation explores and interprets written responses and interview material gathered from students in a one-semester college course that applied an experiential teaching approach grounded in modern-postmodern dance and somatic practices. To clarify the nature of altered experience in dancing and interpret the empirical material, this research relies on notions from psychology and educational theory; phenomenology of dance, movement, and perception; and yogic philosophy—all of which contribute to a conception of the body as multi-di- mensional, energetic, and able to reveal aspects of an individual’s full potential. Dance professionals and researchers in other fields have described the merits of altered experience, but this dimension of experience is rarely included in dance training, and seldom investigated in dance research. This omission is relevant to students pursuing educational and career goals in dance, and to curricula intended to develop dance artists. This dissertation discusses how the phenomenon of altered experience can be in- vestigated in the classroom using a hermeneutic phenomenological research meth- odology. It demonstrates how subjective experience may be collected and analyzed using a reflective, dialogic, interpretive process, and how structural characteristics of experience emerge from a process of: collecting student narratives about their class experience; writing short summaries on significant points and creating key word groupings and categories based on line-by-line readings of the narratives; and comparing the categories with research findings from other fields, concepts of yogic subtle energy, and other students’ comments. These different perspec- tives reveal patterns of the nature and qualities of altered experience, illuminating issues of teaching/learning styles, class environment, discourse, and personal de- velopment. As this doctoral research draws from materials produced by dance ma- jors at Santa Monica College, Los Angeles, California, it provides a local perspec- tive on these issues. The many nuanced experiential qualities of altered experience described in this research indicate themes related to changes in perceptions of self and surroundings, which were often experienced as transformative or a realization of self-potential. The quality of students’ altered experiences ranged from tranquility to exhilaration, with many students expressing a desire to experience the state(s) again. Conversely, qualities of experience resulting from situations of anxiety, fear, or frustration were described as negative and unenjoyable. Although negative experience can motivate growth, in this research they more often diverted attention and created tensions. As presented in this dissertation, altered experience is essentially positive in na- ture, especially when related to the yogic conception of subtle/universal energy and phenomenological notion of unobstructed awareness of Being. In this dissertation, conditions that foster altered experience in the classroom include being in a safe atmosphere, which is largely dependent on teacher-student relations and group dynamics; being fully engaged in dancing with a receptive atti- tude; and participating in a body preparation that assists inner awareness, ease of motion, and energy flow (i.e., elements of somatic practices). Adverse conditions such as poor communication or frustrated expectations distract from engagement and receptivity and are not conducive to altered experience. Student discourse on altered experience in this dissertation is conversational and descriptive, using metaphoric language and drawings to express experience. Writ- ten and oral discourse is an effective tool to clarify and understand experience not usually discussed in class, and discourse with others builds bonds, supports learn- ing, and gives students a voice. Having a common language to point toward altered experience in class affirms and/or introduces this dimension of experience to stu- dents, and gives it a recognized place in their dance lives. Chapter 1: Researcher Stance, Prior Background, and Research Questions My interest in dance developed from exceptional moments I experienced when dancing, or on occasion, observing others dance. During these moments percep- tion of time and space seemed altered, awareness seemed expanded. I found such moments exhilarating and wanted to experience them again. They revealed new aspects of my potential, and I believed they were important to dance artistry and the theater experience. Although I found such moments in dancing, no one spoke of them during my dance training. Teachers may have been aware, but there was no time or structure in class for discussion, or a common language for these personal perceptions. Not discounting the variety of sensation or details interesting to different people in a class or rehearsal, the moments that intrigued me seemed special and important. They were distinctly different than my usual dance perceptions, yet I did not offer descriptions of these private moments,

  • Remediation of Moving Bodies: Aesthetic Perceptions of a Live, Digitised and Animated Dance Performance
    CLR-Nº 6 17/6/08 15:15 Página 85 CULTURA, LENGUAJE Y REPRESENTACIÓN / CULTURE, LANGUAGE AND REPRESENTATION ˙ ISSN 1697-7750 ˙ VOL VI \ 2008, pp. 85-99 REVISTA DE ESTUDIOS CULTURALES DE LA UNIVERSITAT JAUME I / CULTURAL STUDIES JOURNAL OF UNIVERSITAT JAUME I Remediation of Moving Bodies: Aesthetic Perceptions of a Live, Digitised and Animated Dance Performance PAULINE BROOKS LIVERPOOL JOHN MOORES UNIVERSITY ABSTRACT: This article discusses the dance performance project Interface 2, which involved live dancers, animated computer projections (remediated creations of the live section), and the interface of live dancers with dancers on film. It analyses the responses and perceptions of an audience to the changing transformations of the media and the staging of the dance performance. Alongside these responses, I compare and contrast some of the philosophical and aesthetic debates from the past three decades regarding dance and technology in performance, including that of the tension between the acceptance or rejection of «unnatural» remediated bodies and «natural» live bodies moving in the stage space. Keywords: Dance, Remediation, Live, Film, Computer animated. RESUMEN: Este artículo aborda el proyecto de danza Interface 2, que agrupaba bailarines en directo, proyecciones animadas por ordenador (creaciones transducidas de la sección en vivo) y la interfaz de bailarines en vivo con bailarines filmados. Se analizan la respuesta y percepciones del público hacia las transformaciones continuas de los medios tecnológicos de la puesta en escena de la danza. Igualmente, se comparan y contrastan algunos de los debates filosóficos y estéticos de las últimas tres décadas en relación con la danza y el uso de la tecnología en la representación, en particular el referente a la tensión entre la aceptación o rechazo de la falta de «naturalidad» de los cuerpos transducidos y la «naturalidad» de los cuerpos en vivo moviéndose por el espacio escénico.

    Parts II-V Sabbatical Leave Report II. Re-statement of Sabbatical Leave Application The intention behind this sabbatical proposal is to study contemporary dance forms from internationally and nationally recognized artists in Israel, Europe, and the U.S. The plan is to take daily dance class, week long workshops, to observe dance class and company rehearsals, and interview directors, choreographers, and artists to gain further insight into their movement creation process. This study will benefit my teaching, choreographic awareness, and movement research, which will benefit my students and my department as courses are enhanced by new methodologies, techniques and strategies. The second part of this plan is to visit California colleges and universities to investigate how contemporary dance is being built into their curriculum. Creating a dialogue with my colleagues about this developing dance genre will be important as my department implements contemporary dance into its curriculum. The third part of the sabbatical is to co-produce a dance concert in the San Diego area showcasing choreography that has been created using some of the new methodologies, techniques and strategies founded and discussed while on sabbatical. I will document all hours in a spreadsheet submitted with my sabbatical report. I estimate 580 hours. III. Completion of Objectives, Description of Activities Objective #1: a. To explore, learn, and document best practices in Contemporary Dance b. I started my sabbatical researching contemporary dance and movement. I scoured the web for journals, magazines, videos that gave me insight into how people in dance were talking about this contemporary genre. I also read several books that were thought-provoking about contemporary movement, training and the contemporary dancer.

Transborder TheorIes and ParadIgms In EthnomusIcological StudIes of Folk MusIc: VIsIons for Mo Lam in Mainland Southeast Asia ThIs talk explores the nature and IdentIty of tradItIonal musIc, prIncIpally khaen musIc and lam performIng arts In northeastern ThaIland (Isan) and Laos. Mo lam refers to an expert of lam singIng who Is routInely accompanIed by a mo khaen, a skIlled player of the bamboo panpIpe. DurIng 1972 and 1973, Dr. ChonpaIrot conducted fIeld studIes on Mo lam in northeast Thailand and Laos with Dr. Terry E. Miller. For many generatIons, LaotIan and Thai villagers have crossed the natIonal border constItuted by the Mekong RIver to visit relatIves and to partIcipate In regular festivals. However, ChonpaIrot and Miller’s fieldwork took place durIng the fInal stages of the VIetnam War which had begun more than a decade earlIer. DurIng theIr fIeldwork they collected cassette recordings of lam singIng from LaotIan radIo statIons In VIentIane and Savannakhet. ChonpaIrot also conducted fieldwork among Laotian artists living in Thai refugee camps. After the VIetnam War ended, many more Laotians who had worked for the AmerIcans fled to ThaI refugee camps. ChonpaIrot delIneated Mo lam regIonal melodIes coupled to specIfic IdentItIes In each locality of the music’s origin. He chose Lam Khon Savan from southern Laos for hIs dIssertation topIc, and also collected data from senIor Laotian mo lam tradItion-bearers then resIdent In the United States and France.

  • Music, Dance and Swans the Influence Music Has on Two Choreographies of the Scene Pas D’Action (Act
    Music, Dance and Swans The influence music has on two choreographies of the scene Pas d’action (Act. 2 No. 13-V) from Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake Naam: Roselinde Wijnands Studentnummer: 5546036 BA Muziekwetenschap BA Eindwerkstuk, MU3V14004 Studiejaar 2017-2018, block 4 Begeleider: dr. Rebekah Ahrendt Deadline: June 15, 2018 Universiteit Utrecht 1 Abstract The relationship between music and dance has often been analysed, but this is usually done from the perspective of the discipline of either music or dance. Choreomusicology, the study of the relationship between dance and music, emerged as the field that studies works from both point of views. Choreographers usually choreograph the dance after the music is composed. Therefore, the music has taken the natural place of dominance above the choreography and can be said to influence the choreography. This research examines the influence that the music has on two choreographies of Pas d’action (act. 2 no. 13-V), one choreographed by Lev Ivanov, the other choreographed by Rudolf Nureyev from the ballet Swan Lake composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky by conducting a choreomusicological analysis. A brief history of the field of choreomusicology is described before conducting the analyses. Central to these analyses are the important music and choreography accents, aligning dance steps alongside with musical analysis. Examples of the similarities and differences between the relationship between music and dance of the two choreographies are given. The influence music has on these choreographies will be discussed. The results are that in both the analyses an influence is seen in the way the choreography is built to the music and often follows the music rhythmically.

  • Exegesis for Phd in Creative Practice SVEBOR SEČAK Shakespeare's Hamlet in Ballet—A Neoclassical and Postmodern Contemporary Approach
    Exegesis for PhD in Creative Practice SVEBOR SEČAK Shakespeare's Hamlet in Ballet—A Neoclassical and Postmodern Contemporary Approach INTRODUCTION In this exegesis I present my PhD project which shows the transformation from a recording of a neoclassical ballet performance Hamlet into a post-postmodern artistic dance video Hamlet Revisited. I decided to turn to my own choreography of the ballet Hamlet which premiered at the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb in 2004, in order to revise it with a goal to demonstrate the neoclassical and the contemporary postmodern approach, following the research question: How to transform an archival recording of a neoclassical ballet performance into a new artistic dance video by implementing postmodern philosophical concepts? This project is a result of my own individual transformations from a principal dancer who choreographs the leading role for himself, into a more self-reflective mature artist as a result of aging, the socio-political changes occurring in my working and living environment, and my academic achievements, which have exposed me to the latest philosophical and theoretical approaches. Its significance lies in establishing communication between neoclassical and postmodern approaches, resulting in a contemporary post-postmodern artistic work that elucidates the process in the artist's mind during the creative practice. It complements my artistic and scholarly work and is an extension built on my previous achievements implementing new comprehensions. As a life-long ballet soloist and choreographer my area of interest is the performing arts, primarily ballet and dance and the dualism between the abstract and the narrative approaches 1 Exegesis for PhD in Creative Practice SVEBOR SEČAK Shakespeare's Hamlet in Ballet—A Neoclassical and Postmodern Contemporary Approach to ballet works1.

    Set in Motion: Dance Criticism and the Choreographic Apparatus By Kate Mattingly A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Performance Studies and the Designated Emphasis in New Media in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Shannon Jackson, Chair Professor Abigail De Kosnik Professor Anton Kaes Professor SanSan Kwan Spring 2017 Copyright © Kate Mattingly All Rights Reserved Abstract Set in Motion: Dance Criticism and the Choreographic Apparatus By Kate Mattingly Doctor of Philosophy in Performance Studies Designated Emphasis in New Media University of California, Berkeley Professor Shannon Jackson, Chair This dissertation examines the multiple functions of dance criticism in the 20th and 21st centuries in the United States. I foreground institutional interdependencies that shape critics’ practices, as well as criticism’s role in approaches to dance-making, and the necessary and fraught relations between dance criticism and higher education. To challenge the pervasive image of the critic as evaluator and of criticism as definitive, Set in Motion focuses on conditions that produce and endorse certain forms of criticism, and in turn how this writing has gained traction. I employ the concept of a choreographic apparatus to show shifting relations amongst writers, artists, publications, readers, institutions, and audiences. Their interactions generate frameworks that influence dance’s history, canon, and disciplinary formations. I propose a way of situating criticism as a form of writing that intersects with, informs, and influences both history and theory. Set in Motion expands discourse on writing by examining the continuities and discontinuities in practices over the course of a century.
