  • An Investigation Into Audiences' Televisual Experience of Strictly
    An investigation into audiences’ televisual experience of Strictly Come Dancing Karen Wood University of Manchester, UK Volume 7, Issue 2 (November 2010) Abstract This paper explores ten participants’ viewing experience of Strictly Come Dancing (BBC, 2009b) through personal, reflective diary writing. The main aim of the research was to investigate the concept of kinesthetic empathy and to see how this central concern in dance spectatorship might be theorised in relation to the active/passive debate in media audience research. Viewers’ motivation and commitment in how they watch Strictly will be explored to try and understand the range of viewing strategies adopted. From the research, areas that have been highlighted for particular attention are spectacle, emotional connection, admiration of skill and aspiration to dance. The conclusion will draw together discussion of moments of passivity, kinesthetic experience and active or passive engagement in relation to the concept of intuitive spectatorship. Keywords: Kinesthetic, empathy, active, passive, spectatorship, commitment, engagement The research presented in this paper is part of a wider project investigating kinesthetic empathy and screen dance audiences. The concept of kinesthetic empathy provides a framework to explore spectator responses to dance on screen, whether in terms of experimental dance film or popular dance on television. The aim of the research for this paper was to investigate the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of ten participants’ interaction with Strictly Come Dancing (including my own interaction as a self-confessed fan) and what motivates the viewing. The objective of this paper is to interweave debates in media audience research on Page 262 Volume 7, Issue 2 November 2010 active or passive spectatorship with those from dance scholarly discourse on kinesthesia with the ambition of reaching a refined understanding of spectatorship of dance on screen.

    Flavia Cacace & Vincent Simone FIREBIRD EVENTS LTD, UNIT 3 NIMBUS BUSINESS PARK, HERCULES WAY, FARNBOROUGH, HAMPSHIRE, GU14 6UU WWW.FIREBIRDEVENTS.CO.UK | [email protected] | 01252 545654 Watch in wonder as Flavia & Vincent waltz their way into your event, impressing your guests at every turn. Share the glamour, sophistication and sensational talent of one of the country’s leading professional dance couples with your guests. Keeping your audience warmed up between dances and whilst Flavia changes costume, Vincent can talk through their interpretation of the dance, or answer any questions your guests may have – keeping it ‘strictly’ professional – he is both fascinating and amusing in equal measure. Flavia & Vincent started dancing together in the 90s, when they were still in their mid-teens. Vincent had just moved from Southern Italy, not far from where Flavia had been born, to join the dance school Flavia attended. As if by fate, they were ‘matched’ by their dance teacher and their professional partnership has lasted over 20 years. Starting to compete professionally in 2001, Flavia & Vincent decided to move away from competitions after winning numerous Championships, and started on their highly successful BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing journey. Since leaving the show, Vincent and Flavia have choreographed and starred in four shows including Midnight Tango, Dance 'til Dawn, The Last Tango and Tango Moderno. Each show has toured nationally and appeared in the West End receiving rave reviews and Olivier Award nominations for family entertainment. Achievements • UK Professional Ten Dance Champions 2002-2006 • Vincent joined Strictly Come Dancing in 2005, Flavia in 2006 – both appearing in each series • UK Professional Showdance Champions 2003-2006 until the end of 2012.
