Principles of Movement Control that Affect Choreographers’ Instruction of Dance Julia Fenton Preface The purpose of this paper is to inform choreographers of different motor control and skill learning principles that affect instruction of dance and choreography as well as provide a resource for choreographers to make rehearsals more productive. In order to accomplish this task, I adapted the information presented in three main texts, written by Schmidt and Wrisberg, Schmidt and Lee, and Fairbrother, in order for it to be useful to choreographers. I have included dance examples rather than sport examples in order for the choreographer to more easily relate to the information. The in-text citations in this paper were kept to a minimum in order for it to be read more easily.

  • CHOREOGRAPHY BASICS By: Max Perry to Choreograph an Effective Routine, a Dancer Will Use Several Techniques to Create a Dance T
    CHOREOGRAPHY BASICS By: Max Perry To choreograph an effective routine, a dancer will use several techniques to create a dance that will not only fit the music, but will feel good when danced. The tools we use as choreographers are knowledge of the dance components, a basic idea of phrasing music, and an idea of how the material is to be used (the dancers or organization or company, etc.). ______________________________________ POINTS TO REMEMBER: 1. “A body in motion tends to stay in motion”. There is an initial force required to put the body in motion. Every time there is a change in the directional movement, there is additional force required to make the change. Too many abrupt changes in direction are not as comfortable as letting the body flow in the direction it wants to go, then gradually slow before changing directions. This does not mean you should slow down before every turn - I am referring to energy output only! 2. Choose music that has a wide audience appeal. You do not want a piece of music that sounds dated. The song should sound good every time it is played. If you want artists to take notice, or a national release, the rule is if you hear the song on the radio, it is too late. These songs were recorded months ago. Major established artists do not need a dance. Never go for the obvious - choose a cut from the album that may be released as a single or use a newer artist - possibly an independent artist. 3. Choose material that has a wide audience appeal.

  • The THREE's a CROWD
    The THREE’S A CROWD exhibition covers areas ranging from Hong Kong to Slavic vixa parties. It looks at modern-day streets and dance floors, examining how – through their physical presence in the public space – bodies create temporary communities, how they transform the old reality and create new conditions. And how many people does it take to make a crowd. The autonomous, affect-driven and confusing social body is a dynamic 19th-century construct that stands in opposition to the concepts of capitalist productivity, rationalism, and social order. It is more of a manifestation of social dis- order: the crowd as a horde, the crowd as a swarm. But it happens that three is already a crowd. The club culture remembers cases of criminalizing the rhythmic movement of at least three people dancing to the music based on repetitive beats. We also remember this pandemic year’s spring and autumn events, when the hearts of the Polish police beat faster at the sight of crowds of three and five people. Bodies always function in relation to other bodies. To have no body is to be nobody. Bodies shape social life in the public space through movement and stillness, gath- ering and distraction. Also by absence. Regardless of whether it is a grassroots form of bodily (dis)organization, self-cho- reographed protests, improvised social dances, artistic, activist or artivist actions, bodies become a field of social and political struggle. Together and apart. ARTISTS: International Festival of Urban ARCHIVES OF PUBLIC Art OUT OF STH VI: SPACE PROTESTS ABSORBENCY

CHOREOGRAPHY FOR THE CAMERA: AN HISTORICAL, CRITICAL, AND EMPIRICAL STUDY Vana Patrice Carter, M.A. Western Michigan University, 1992 This study investigates whether a dance choreographer’s lack of knowledge of film, television, or video theory and technology, particularly the capabilities of the camera and montage, restricts choreographic communication via these media. First, several film and television choreographers were surveyed. Second, the literature was analyzed to determine the evolution of dance on film and television (from the choreographers’ perspective).

  • Eve of Kupalo
    Gordon Gordey, Director and Dancemaker Ukrainian Canadian Dance Works Created for The Shumka Dancers, Canada’s Professional Ukrainian Dance Company Eve of Kupalo - a Midsummer’s Night Mystery Masque Conceived and Directed by Gordon Gordey Choreographed by Dave Ganert Additional Choreography by John Pichlyk and Tasha Orysiuk Original Music Composed and Arranged by Andriy Shoost Sets and Costumes designed by Maria Levitska Additional Costumes designed by Oksana Paruta and Robert Shannon Masks created by Randall Fraser In January 2007, I created a concept and began writing the dance libretto for Eve of Kupalo - a Midsummer’s Night Mystery Masque as a contemporary Ukrainian folk dance dramatic narrative ballet with video projection. Over the decades I had seen numerous Ukrainian dance companies stage performances based upon the rituals of Kupalo and the midsummer solstice. In 30 years with the Shumka Dancers I too performed, from time to time, in dances based upon Kupalo, the first such performance taking place in the early 1970’s. The performances I saw and those I performed in seemed to become locked in a very standard formula. I could predict what the choreography was going to be in Kupalo before I even entered the theatre. The dance would typically start with female dancers weaving across the stage in a version of a chain style folk dance (Vesnianka or Chorovod) and move on to a dance where female dancers would begin to weave wreathes, which usually with the assistance of a stage lighting change depicting the passage of time, resulted in the wreathes magically becoming completed. These wreathes would be symbolically placed into a stream which was nothing more than placing the wreathes upon the stage floor.

Double CD featuring the whole storytelling series to be released worldwide 4 June with Nimbus Alliance. The English Symphony Orchestra (ESO) continue their ground-breaking series of new storytelling works for narrator and orchestra with the world premiere broadcasts of two of the most popular stories by the Brothers Grimm: 'Hansel and Gretel' (music by Thomas Kraines) narrated by Henry Goodman, and 'The Bremen Town Musicians' (music by Kile Smith) narrated by Gemma Whelan. HENRY GOODMAN, whose previous appearance with the ESO in David Yang’s 'Lubin, from Chelm' was praised for his “barbed whimsy”, returns to narrate Thomas Kraines’s witty and spiky setting of 'Hansel and Gretel'. American composer Thomas Kraines says of the piece that “I wrote 'Hansel and Gretel' to perform with the children’s musical troupe Auricolae in 2008, and orchestrated it a few years later, at the behest of Maestro
