Passion+Fruit+Dance+Copmany+-+ Dance Within Your Dance Choreographed by Tatiana Desardouin Presented by Passion Fruit Dance Company “Cultures emerging from organic matters, creating organic music and organic ways of moving: the groove. The groove shows that you are not only part of part of those cultures, but it reflects your identity.” – Tatiana Desardouin What is the groove? How do you find it? How much weight does it hold in self-expression? In Dance Within Your Dance, Tatiana Desardouin invites you to connect with the techniques, rhythms and essence of hip-hop and house dance. This work shows how, in these communities, we develop, struggle, connect, and create our own and collective signatures. Welcome. Statement of intent The “groove” is the center of this piece, yet there are two dimensions to DWYD: a dancer’s personal exploration of his or her own groove, and the groove, within the cultural realm of Hip-Hop and House and their respective roots. I depict the journey of a dancer’s search, exploration, and appropriation of his/her own groove. The groove constitutes one of the fundamental elements of Hip-Hop and Housedance. It is paramount in defining a dancer’s identity, and I want to show how dancers influence each other’s identity in these specific communities. Our dance is built and transformed by the dancers who surround us. The inspiration is so strong that we sometimes get lost and we don’t know who we are. Little by little the adjustment is made, we know who we are and we control ourselves. We finally belong to this community and the transformation process continues until you find that groove, and you are being able to have a conversation with others and the music, through movement, rhythm & musicality without getting lost. The groove also has an important social element to it. As Hip-Hop or Houses dancers, we must appreciate the integrity of our dance culture by acknowledging its roots. My goal through DWYD is to build bridges between communities and instigate a conversation that is too often avoided: the cultural importance of the groove. More than just an aesthetic way of moving, the groove has to be understood in its relation to black heritage, a cultural heritage We get to know each that has been neglected in many dance styles like Jazz, Lindy Hop, Rock etc. other through movement - Tatiana Desardouin. “ The New York Times, “Watch Watch the trailer here - Tatiana Desardouin These Dancers Find Spontaneity in the cirlce” by James Thomas ” Dance Development I developed a teaching method called “Technique within your groove”. The idea is to preserve a rhythmic flow (groove) of the body, according to a music, and to incorporate technical tools specifically from the urban dances (isolations, waves, musicality etc.). The dancer uses his natural movements with more control, or in other words, with more consciousness of his body. This method pushes the dancers to develop their coordination and rhythm: playing with two body parts and moving on two different rhythms simultaneously, for instance. This will feel unnatural, but the goal is to be fluid, remain organic, and to keep ‘grooving’ within those physical and technical difficulties. It is important for a Hip-Hop or House dancer to develop the capability of using technique within one’s groove. This allows for more freedom in one’s musicality and freestyle without losing the essence of those styles. This method was the starting point to develop the choreography of my piece. Dancers: I chose dancers who know me as a person and a dancer. They understand how I move, practice the same styles, but each of us have our own identities within those styles. I was able to go deep into technicality because of their skills and knowledge of Hip-Hop and Housedance. Beyond this, I was searching for dancers who were comfortable with the notion of grooving, familiar with other urban styles techniques, and who had a strong understanding of musicality. As freestyle dancers who are part of the House and Hip-Hop community, we each strongly relate to the message carried in DWYD. This has allowed us to embody the topic in its entirety. Dance styles: I chose Hip-Hop and House because the groove is essential in those styles (and in other social dance styles) Staging and Technicalities Music: I focus on 3 styles of music: house, broken-beat, and hip-hop. The music is really important in those styles, it was also important for me to bring musics that represent truly the culture and the relationship between those styles. Those styles took birth because of their music, not the other way around, and those musics are filled with soul and grooves, which is the main topic of that piece. For the purpose of the piece, it couldn’t have been other genres of music. We also had the singer Sam I Am Montolla doing vocals on the quarter of the piece. Costumes: The costumes are simple, but evoke femininity and fluidity so that the movements can be highlighted and clear. Multimedia: Video projection Stage-use lighting: the light doesn’t play a role in the meaning or structure of the piece but is used mostly to give an atmosphere for each section and highlighting what is expressed on stage.

  • Types of Dance Styles
    Types of Dance Styles International Standard Ballroom Dances Ballroom Dance: Ballroom dancing is one of the most entertaining and elite styles of dancing. In the earlier days, ballroom dancewas only for the privileged class of people, the socialites if you must. This style of dancing with a partner, originated in Germany, but is now a popular act followed in varied dance styles. Today, the popularity of ballroom dance is evident, given the innumerable shows and competitions worldwide that revere dance, in all its form. This dance includes many other styles sub-categorized under this. There are many dance techniques that have been developed especially in America. The International Standard recognizes around 10 styles that belong to the category of ballroom dancing, whereas the American style has few forms that are different from those included under the International Standard. Tango: It definitely does take two to tango and this dance also belongs to the American Style category. Like all ballroom dancers, the male has to lead the female partner. The choreography of this dance is what sets it apart from other styles, varying between the International Standard, and that which is American. Waltz: The waltz is danced to melodic, slow music and is an equally beautiful dance form. The waltz is a graceful form of dance, that requires fluidity and delicate movement. When danced by the International Standard norms, this dance is performed more closely towards each other as compared to the American Style. Foxtrot: Foxtrot, as a dance style, gives a dancer flexibility to combine slow and fast dance steps together.

The older dance styles that were created in the 1970s include up-rock, breaking, and the funk styles. At the same time breaking was developing in New York, other styles were being created in California. Several street dance styles created in California in the 1970s such as roboting, bopping, hitting, locking, bustin', popping, electric boogaloo, strutting, sac-ing, and dime-stopping. It is historically inaccurate to say that the funk styles were always considered hip-hop. "Hip-Hop Dance" became an umbrella term encompassing all of these styles. Tempo of the Music: Tempo: 27 - 28 bars per minute (108 - 112 beats per minute) Characteristics and Movement: Different new dance styles, such as Quick Popping Crew, Asian style, African style, Hype Dance, New-Jack-Swing, Popping & Locking, Jamming, etc., adding creative elements such as stops, jokes, flashes, swift movements, etc. Some Electric and Break movements can be performed but should not dominate. Floor figures are very popular but should not dominate the performance.

  • Streetdance and Hip Hop - Let's Get It Right!
    STREETDANCE AND HIP HOP - LET'S GET IT RIGHT! Article by David Croft, Freelance Dance Artist OK - so I decided to write this article after many years studying various styles of Street dance and Hip Hop, also teaching these styles in Schools, Dance schools and in the community. Throughout my years of training and teaching, I have found a lack of understanding, knowledge and, in some cases, will, to really search out the skills, foundation and blueprint of these dances. The words "Street Dance" and "Hip Hop" are widely and loosely used without a real understanding of what they mean. Street Dance is an umbrella term for various styles including Bboying or breakin (breakin is an original Hip Hop dance along with Rockin and Party dance – the word break dance did not exist in the beginning, this was a term used by the media, originally it was Bboying. (Bboy, standing for Break boy, Beat boy or Bronx boy)…….for more click here Conquestcrew Popping/Boogaloo Style was created by Sam Soloman and Popping technique involves contracting your muscles to the music using your legs, arms, chest and neck. Boogaloo has a very funky groove constantly using head and shoulders. It also involves rolling the hips and knees. Locking was created by Don Campbell. This involves movements like wrist twirls, points, giving himself “5”, locks (which are sharp stops), knee drops and half splits. (Popping/Boogaloo and Locking are part of the West Coast Funk movement ). House Dance and Hip Hop. With Hip Hop coming out of the East Coast (New York) and West Coast Funk from the west (California) there was a great collaboration in cultures bringing the two coasts together.

    Miskell 1 DANCE AS PROTOCOL: SOCIAL CHOREOGRAPHY IN ELITE WASHINGTON, 1920-1940 A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES AND UNIVERSITY HONORS PROGRAM FOR THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF ARTS, UNIVERSITY HONORS IN HISTORY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY FALL 2010 AND SPRING 2011 BRIDGET MISKELL Miskell 2 In the early twentieth century social dance played an important role in communal activity. In the aftermath of World War I and as the United States struggled through the Great Depression, both the elites and the working class moved away from established practices. Americans had a new fascination with dance during the Progressive area as people contested issues of identity through bodily discourse and this interest carried into the 1920s.1 Dance halls, which had long been a place for the working-class and ethnic communities to gather, drew the interest of elite society who wanted to explore “socially marginalized urban neighborhoods and the diverse populations that inhabited them.”2 This exploration manifested itself in the nightlife. Known as “slumming”, the upper class flocked to the jazz cabarets, speakeasies and nightclubs, spurring “the development of an array of new commercialized leisure spaces that simultaneously promoted social mixing and recast the sexual and racial landscape of American urban culture and space.”3 Beginning in New York City, this trend spread to almost every major City in the United States.4 The practice, which could be traced to a century earlier, contained very different motives in the 1920s. While in the mid-nineteenth century men explored lower class areas to feed their curiosity and women remained at home, in the early twentieth century men and women together chose to interact with the socially marginalized to escape the demands of high society and break free from family constraints.5 Upper class whites reevaluated the roles of blacks in 1 Linda J.

  • Dce 202 Hu.Pdf
    Arizona State University Criteria Checklist for HUMANITIES, FINE ARTS AND DESIGN [HU] Rationale and Objectives The humanities disciplines are concerned with questions of human existence and meaning, the nature of thinking and knowing, with moral and aesthetic experience. The humanities develop values of all kinds by making the human mind more supple, critical, and expansive. They are concerned with the study of the textual and artistic traditions of diverse cultures, including traditions in literature, philosophy, religion, ethics, history, and aesthetics. In sum, these disciplines explore the range of human thought and its application to the past and present human environment. They deepen awareness of the diversity of the human heritage and its traditions and histories and they may also promote the application of this knowledge to contemporary societies. The study of the arts and design, like the humanities, deepens the student’s awareness of the diversity of human societies and cultures. The fine arts have as their primary purpose the creation and study of objects, installations, performances and other means of expressing or conveying aesthetic concepts and ideas. Design study concerns itself with material objects, images and spaces, their historical development, and their significance in society and culture. Disciplines in the fine arts and design employ modes of thought and communication that are often nonverbal, which means that courses in these areas tend to focus on objects, images, and structures and/or on the practical techniques and historical development of artistic and design traditions. The past and present accomplishments of artists and designers help form the student’s ability to perceive aesthetic qualities of art work and design.

  • Social Media Analytics for Youtube Comments: Potential and Limitations1 Mike Thelwall
    Social Media Analytics for YouTube Comments: Potential and Limitations1 Mike Thelwall School of Mathematics and Computing, University of Wolverhampton, UK The need to elicit public opinion about predefined topics is widespread in the social sciences, government and business. Traditional survey-based methods are being partly replaced by social media data mining but their potential and limitations are poorly understood. This article investigates this issue by introducing and critically evaluating a systematic social media analytics strategy to gain insights about a topic from YouTube. The results of an investigation into sets of dance style videos show that it is possible to identify plausible patterns of subtopic difference, gender and sentiment. The analysis also points to the generic limitations of social media analytics that derive from their fundamentally exploratory multi-method nature. Keywords: social media analytics; YouTube comments; opinion mining; gender; sentiment; issues Introduction Questionnaires, interviews and focus groups are standard social science and market research methods for eliciting opinions from the public, service users or other specific groups. In industry, mining social media for opinions expressed in public seems to be standard practice with commercial social media analytics software suites that include an eclectic mix of data mining tools (e.g., Fan & Gordon, 2014). Within academia, there is also a drive to generate effective methods to mine the social web (Stieglitz, Dang-Xuan, Bruns, & Neuberger, 2014). From a research methods perspective, there is a need to investigate the generic limitations of new methodological approaches. Many existing social research techniques have been adapted for the web, such as content analysis (Henrich & Holmes, 2011), ethnography (Hine, 2000), surveys (Crick, 2012; Harrison, Wilding, Bowman, Fuller, Nicholls, et al.

  • Baby Raves: Youth, Adulthood and Ageing in Contemporary British EDM Culture
    Baby Raves: Youth, Adulthood and Ageing in Contemporary British EDM Culture Feature Article Zoe Armour De Montfort University (UK) Abstract This article begins with a reconsideration of the parameters ofage in translocal EDM sound system and (super)club culture through the conceptualisation of a fluid multigenerationality in which attendees at EDM-events encompass a spectrum of ages from 0–75 years. Since the 1980s, it remains the case that the culture is fuelled through a constant influx of newcomers who are predominantly emerging youth, yet there are post-youth members in middle adulthood and later life that are also a growing body that continues to attend EDM-events. In this context, the baby rave initiative (2004–present) has capitalised on a gap in the family entertainment market and created a new chapter in (super)club and festival culture. I argue that the event is a catalyst for live heritage in which the accompanying children (aged from 0–12 years) temporarily become the beneficiaries of their parent’s attendee heritage and performance of an unauthored heritage. Keywords: fluid multigenerationality, EDM-family, baby rave, live heritage, unauthored heritage Zoe Armour is completing a PhD in electronic dance music culture. Her work is interdisciplinary and draws from the fields of cultural sociology, popular music, memory studies, media and communication and film. She is the author of two book chapters on Ageing Clubbers and the Internet and the British Free Party Counterculture in the late 1990s.
