Established in 1989, Dance Ireland is a membership-led organisation, operating on an all-Ireland basis, dedicated to the promotion of professional dance practice in Ireland. Incorporated in 1992 as a not-for-profit company with limited guarantee, the organisation has evolved into a national, umbrella resource whose core aims are the promotion of dance as a vibrant artform, the provision of support and practical resources for professional dance artists through our training and development programmes and advocacy on dance and choreography issues. Dance Ireland manages DanceHouse, a purpose-built, state-of-the-art dance rehearsal venue, located in the heart of Dublin’s north-east inner city. DanceHouse is at the heart of Dance Ireland activities, as well as being a home for professional dance artists and the wider dance community. Studios are available for hire.

My two supervisors, Elizabeth Butler Cullingford and Barbara Harlow, introduced me to much of the literature and many of the ideas that make up this project. Their direction throughout the process was invaluable: they have been, and continue to be, inspirational teachers, scholars and individuals. Kamran Ali brought both academic rigor and a sense of humor to the defense as he pushed the manuscript beyond its boundaries. Ann Cvetkovich translated her fresh perspective into comments on new directions for the project and Ian Hancock was constantly generous with his resources and unique knowledge of the Irish Traveller community.

Far more than its population merits, Ireland is a coun- try whose sons and daughters lead much of the world. Here in the United States men Commentary and women of Irish heritage have an enormous influence over education, politics, business, our armed forces and religious life. College presidents, chief executives, governors, senators, and other leaders are proud of their Irish heritage, and effective in their jobs. With last month’s resignation of Enda Kenny as Taoiseach and as leader of the major political party Fine Gael, Ireland is searching for new leaders while probably facing new general elections within the year. Enda Kenny is a good man; perhaps not at the top of his class when it comes to intellectual matters, but a hardworking politician with enthusiastic people skills. He was born in Castlebar, Co.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Dancing Cross-Cultural Misunderstandings
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Dancing Cross-cultural Misunderstandings: The American Dance Festival in China’s New Era A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance by Fangfei Miao 2019 © Copyright by Fangfei Miao 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Dancing Cross-cultural Misunderstandings: The American Dance Festival in China’s New Era by Fangfei Miao Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Susan Leigh Foster, Chair This dissertation explores the embodiment of cross-cultural misunderstandings in a key transitional period in modern China—the late 1980s, during the country’s economic reformation and cultural opening to the West after the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976). From 1987 to 1991, teachers from the American Dance Festival (ADF), at the invitation of the Guangdong (Canton) Dance School, trained the first group of professional modern dancers in China, known as the “Guangdong Modern Dance Experimental Program,” profoundly altering the history of Chinese modern dance in the New Era (1978–). Based on this program, China established its first modern dance company in 1992—the Guangdong Modern Dance Company. Under the guidance of ADF teachers, Chinese students created two new genres of Chinese modern dance that differed from the previous realism style. Some of ii the students later became internationally acclaimed artists—Shen Wei, Jin Xing, and Wang Mei. Contesting existing accounts of the Guangdong program as a complete success in America’s and China’s dance histories, this dissertation instead argues that misunderstandings and miscommunications repeatedly occurred in both directions throughout this corporeal exchange.

    CAROLINA PERFORMING ARTS 2010/11 BeijingDance/LDTX Tuesday & Wednesday, April 12 & 13 at 7:30pm carolina performing arts 10/11 1 carolina performing arts 10/11 3 Dear Friends For the last several months, we at Carolina Performing Arts have been working to finalize the schedule for our 2011-12 season. Every year, I find this process exhilarating and challenging, rewarding and frustrating. Our 2010-11 season has been filled with performances from legendary, established artists such as Yo-Yo Ma, Chick Corea and McCoy Tyner, as well as emerging voices like Nicola Benedetti, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui (with his Sutra), and the young virtuosi who make up Gidon Kremer’s Kremerata Baltica. And there is much more to come in these last months. As we work to craft our new season, selecting works that engage, delight and enliven our 2010/11 SEASON audiences, I am constantly reminded of the budgetary considerations that make curating a season so difficult. As you probably know, the costs associated with bringing the caliber of art we have all come to expect from this series far exceed the revenue brought in from ticket sales alone. As we handpick each performance, I am constantly forced to consider cost, to weigh our curatorial mission against our bottom line, to ask myself, “Can we afford to bring this work to our audiences?” Many exciting artists do not make the cut. All told, ticket sales make up about 45% of the money needed to keep Carolina Performing Arts running. In a surrealist thought experiment, my colleagues in development and I often wonder what our season would look like at 45%.
