Received: 25 July 2019; Accepted: 14 August 2019; Published: 16 August 2019 Abstract: The convention for the safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) by UNESCO highlights the equal importance of intangible elements of cultural heritage to tangible ones. One of the most important domains of ICH is folkloric dances. A dance choreography is a time-varying 3D process (4D modelling), which includes dynamic co-interactions among different actors, emotional and style attributes, and supplementary elements, such as music tempo and costumes. Presently, research focuses on the use of depth acquisition sensors, to handle kinesiology issues. The extraction of skeleton data, in real time, contains a significant amount of information (data and metadata), allowing for various choreography-based analytics. In this paper, a trajectory interpretation method for Greek folkloric dances is presented. We focus on matching trajectories’ patterns, existing in a choreographic database, to new ones originating from different sensor types such as VICON and Kinect II. Then, a Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) algorithm is proposed to find out similarities/dissimilarities among the choreographic trajectories.

  • The Effects of Aerobics and Greek Traditional Dances on Cardio-Respiratory Responses in Adult Women
    EXERCISE AND QUALITY OF LIFE Research article Volume 2, No. 1, 2010, 29-36 UDC 796.015.68:796.035-055.2 796.015.68:793.31(=14)-055.2 THE EFFECTS OF AEROBICS AND GREEK TRADITIONAL DANCES ON CARDIO-RESPIRATORY RESPONSES IN ADULT WOMEN Maria Genti*, Dimitrios Goulimaris and Georgia Ioannidou Department of Physical Education and Sport Sciences, Democritus University of Thrace, Greece Abstract The aim of the study was to compare the cardio-respiratory responses of adult women, which participated in aerobics exercising and traditional dancing programs. A total of 30 women, ±9,82 yrs, were participated in the study and divided in four groups according to their aged 45 involvement in the intervention programs. The cardio respiratory endurance of the participants was evaluated by the use of 20m shuttle-run multistage fitness test (Tokmakidis,1992) and the heart rate was recorded by the use of a portable heart rate tester (Polar Electron Sport tester 810). The analysis of the data showed that there were no statistically significant differences concerning the type of exercise (p>.05), but there were statistically significant differences between initial and final measurements both in Greek traditional dancing and in aerobics program for both experimental groups (p<.05). The above results shows that the participation in Greek traditional dancing programs causes cardio respiratory responses similar to an aerobics program and it can be used as an alternative type of exercise. Keywords: Greek traditional dancing, aerobics, aerobic capacity Introduction Occupying with physical activity and exercise considerably contributes in various ways to ’s an individual (Wood, Reyes-Alvarez, Maraj, Metoyer & Welsch, 1997) fitness as well as to his mental health, since with aerobics training the decrease of the brain tissue is kept under control, a ’s condition which already begins at the third decade of one life (Colombe, Ericson, Raz, Webb, Cohen et al., 2002).

  • Cultures Meet in Sound: Promoting Intercultural Dialogue
    Neokleous, R. (2009). Civilizations meet in sound: Promoting intercultural dialogue through music education. In L. Ioannides (ed.) Proceedings of the Polis Citizenship Association: Conference “Citizenship-Globalization-Multiculturalism”. p. 269-284. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Civilizations meet in sound: Promoting intercultural dialogue through music education Rania Neokleous Introduction Music is one of the most expressive forms of human communication. However, it is not a universal language as it was long believed, but it consists of diverse musical practices or musics.1 The musical language heard in a Cypriot playground differs vastly from the musical soundscape experienced in a village in South Africa, or in a Balinese church. People, therefore, do not immediately understand, appreciate, or enjoy the musics of other civilizations.2 If we do not educate students to appreciate and understand a variety of other musical cultures, then they will probably be unable to understand an integral part of every civilization. This essay will start with an overview of the basic premises of multicultural music education. Then, it will examine the status of multicultural music education in the Cypriot primary music curriculum, focusing on an analysis of the supported curriculum as this is expressed in the National Music Books. Furthermore, it will present the rationale for introducing the contextual study of World musics as a means for intercultural dialogue, providing suggestions for the implementation of a multicultural music curriculum. Basic tenets of multicultural music education The early efforts in multicultural education began in the 1920s in countries characterized by diversity such as the United States. Multicultural music education grew in a path parallel to multicultural general education, and in the early days of its inception it was manifested mainly through the choice of singing and listening repertoire.

Frazis (Eds.) “Greek Research in Australia: Proceedings of the [3rd] Annual Conference of Greek Studies, Flinders University, 23-24 June 2000”. Flinders University Department of Languages – Modern Greek: Adelaide, 60-75. Kartzilamas: Traditional Greek Cypriot Dance as a Representation of Life Dhora Moustrides This investigation stems from an analysis of Greek Cypriot dance con- ducted as a part of the thesis completed by myself for the degree MA, the title of the thesis being Processes in the Development of Patterns Relevant to Marriage Partner Choice amongst Greek Cypriots.1 Other than literature, information has come from having lived the Cypriot culture, I being a Greek Cypriot, and from the bulk of data collated for the thesis, which included oral testimony from recorded histories and other sources. An additional twenty or so Greek Cypriots in Adelaide and about ten in Melbourne as well as a few people from other European countries have been questioned specifically for this paper. For the purposes of this study “traditional dance” refers to a de- scription: the way the people in Cyprus born between about 1900 and 1930 danced in what is regarded among Greek Cypriots as the traditional manner. It is associated with the peasant society. Averof (1989) and Tompolis (1980) have recorded the music of a range of dances with which Greek Cypriots identified. Some of the dances originated elsewhere and were also danced by other peoples.

  • Greek Cypriot Wedding Music and Customs: Revival and Identity
    Greek Cypriot Wedding Music and Customs: Revival and Identity Submitted by: EFI IOANNIDOU Supervisors: DR. ANDREW KILLICK, DR. SIMON KEEGAN-PHIPPS THE UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD PhD in Music 21st March 2017 2 ABSTRACT In many cultures, weddings are the most important event in people’s lives. Greek Cypriots use weddings as a means of expressing their identity and linking themselves to their roots, with the conscious aim of preservation of their musical tradition and customs. As a result, weddings are especially important in their musical culture because of the threats to their identity posed by the island’s long history of foreign rule and colonisation. However, an upheaval has occurred in the folk music and customs of Greek Cypriot wedding ceremonies over the last ten years, creating an urgent need for a study of these customs in relation to social, historical and cultural developments in Cyprus. This study has revealed a movement towards music revival that links contemporary practice with the ‘living memory’ of the mid-twentieth century. The thesis is structured in two parts, progressing from the directly observable wedding practices of contemporary Greek Cypriots to the remembered and reconstructed forms of the Greek Cypriot wedding that is now regarded as ‘traditional’. Part One analyses contemporary wedding ceremonies and the choices that newlyweds make in the customs and music of their weddings. Part Two attempts to reconstruct in detail the music and customs of Greek Cypriot wedding ceremonies of the mid-twentieth century from the testimonies of veteran folk musicians and from documentary sources. Besides documenting a tradition that is little known and fast transforming, the study contributes to current discussions in ethnomusicology on themes such as ‘music revivals’ and ‘tradition and identity’.

  • Dance in Greece
    Dance in Greece Raftis, Alkis: "Dance in Greece", Λαογραφία newsletter of the international greek folklore society, Vol. 2, No. 8, 2-7, California, U.S.A., 1985. Special To The International Greek Folklore Society Newsletter By DR. Alkis Raftis 1. Roman And Byzantine Period Greek classical antiquity came to an end with the Roman conquest in the 2nd century B.C. The Romans adopted many of the achievements of Greek civilization and made great use of its artists and scholars throughout the Roman Empire. Greek dancers found themselves addressing a wider audience, spread over a large area, constituting various peoples, in most part not understanding their language. Not bound anymore to the moral and aesthetic precepts of the small Greek city, they turned to easy tricks to please their patrons: dances became burlesque, lascivious, comic or frightening. The unity that characterized the Greek notion of musike, ​ comprising song, dance and instrumental music in one whole, was fragmented into ​ separate parts of the performance. Song remained in Greek language for some time, sung by a passive chorus as an interlude. Music became independent by the addition of several instruments to the lyre and flute, so as to form a little orchestra. Dance, loose from word and melody, became pantomime. Although mimic dances abounded in the Greek antiquity, pantomime is the hallmark of the Greco-Roman period. Performers became famous for thier ability to relate entire stories with their gestures and postures. They wore masks, lavish clothes and jewelry, they were frequently effeminate and they resorted to vulgar jokes and obscenities. Thus dancers became professionals of low status rather than public servants and dance lost its religious and educational character to become a spectacle of mere entertainment.
