  • An Investigation Into the Feasibility and Benefit of Irish Set Dancing for People with Parkinson’S Disease
    An Investigation into the Feasibility and Benefit of Irish Set Dancing for People with Parkinson’s Disease Joanne Shanahan BSc. MISCP A thesis submitted to the University of Limerick in fulfilment of the requirements for the award Doctor of Philosophy in Clinical Therapies University of Limerick Supervised by: Dr. Amanda M. Clifford Dr. Orfhlaith Ni Bhriain, Prof. Meg E. Morris Submitted to the University of Limerick, November 2016 i i Abstract Title: An investigation into the feasibility and benefit of Irish set dancing for people with Parkinson’s disease Author: Joanne Shanahan Irish set dancing may be beneficial for people with Parkinson’s disease and encourage habitual exercise participation through the integration of dynamic balance activities, socialisation and musical enrichment. Currently, only one published study, which was carried out in a sample of Venetians with Parkinson’s disease, has investigated the feasibility of set dancing. Set dancing has a rich cultural heritage in Ireland and is a popular social and cultural activity in Ireland. Thus, research exploring the role of set dancing as an exercise activity in an Irish population is warranted. The aim of the project presented in this thesis was to investigate the feasibility and benefit of Irish set dancing for people with Parkinson’s disease in Ireland. The findings of a systematic review and single-group feasibility study informed the methods of a multi-centered pilot randomised controlled trial (RCT). Ninety participants were randomised (n=45 per group) into a set dancing group and usual care control group. No adverse effects were reported. Attrition during the study was >40% in both groups and adherence to the intervention was 93.5%.

Lucy Winnington’s essay discusses the ‘haunted land’ in the photography of New Zealand, marking the journal’s first submission on NZ Gothic. Laurie Ringer’s article “With Teeth” takes a Deleuzian reading of A L Kennedy alongside paintings of the martyred St. Apollonia. Debra Van Tuyll and Carl Purdy’s piece (our first collaborative essay here at Dark Arts) looks for the uncanny in Irish folk music. Finally, Will Connor explores experimental Gothic music and performance.

  • Barn Dances, Ceilidhs, and Country Dancing in England 1945-2020: an Examination of Non-Specialist English Social Folk Dance
    Barn Dances, Ceilidhs, and Country Dancing in England 1945-2020: An Examination of Non-Specialist English Social Folk Dance Chloe Elizabeth Middleton-Metcalfe MA, BA (Hons) A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of PhD Department of Dance University of Roehampton 2021 1 Barn Dances, Ceilidhs, and Country Dancing in England 1945-2020 CEMM Abstract This thesis is a genre-centred investigation of one dance form which is known by a variety of names including: barn dance, ceilidh, country dance, and (English) folk dance. A hitherto academically neglected dance genre, this thesis takes a mixed diachronic and synchronic approach to explain and contextualise the developments of English social folk dance from the mid-twentieth century. In so doing it contributes to an under-studied area of research: the experiences of occasional, or novice adult dancers. In order to answer the central question of ‘why do people hold English social folk dances?’ this thesis examines the genre’s recent history. The approach of Douglas Kennedy, head of the English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS) from 1924-1961 is examined. Consideration is given to the influence of other dance genres (in particular square dance and old time) on the formation of an English folk repertoire. The neo-traditionalist approach of the ceilidh movement in the 1970s and the quest for an English sound and dancing style is examined. Folk dance in English schools is charted, providing a counter- story to modern educational dance centred histories. The second half of this thesis utilises ethnographic fieldwork from thirty dance events (2017-2018), supplemented with interviews and questionnaire data.

It ’s a wonderful place full of wonderful people. A week there fuels me for months, even years afterwards.” –Sebastiann Zijp “If I could mash up all my summer experiences at Augusta, I’d say the final product would somehow resemble the coolest family reunion I’ve ever been to. I found rejuvenation and comfort in the power of music, artistry, our land, and the human spirit.” –Jess McIntosh Join Us! Summer in the cool, blue, Appalachian Mountains means many things– misty mornings, green so overwhelming that you may think you’re in Oz, and sunsets that give you pause. Add to that a rich layer of Augusta and you begin to understand what draws people to this special place on the hill for five weeks each summer. When we talk to folks about why they come to Augusta, certain words keep percolating to the top: inspiring, exhausting, connecting, jamming. These are all part of the Augusta Experience.
