Taylor, Virginia Christine. "Ballerinas in the Church Hall : ideologies of femininity, ballet, and dancing schools." Thesis, University of Chichester, 2003. http://eprints.chi.ac.uk/1612/.
Full textAbstract:
The 'Church Hall' is a metonym for the Private Dancing School, ubiquitous in the UK, whose principal clients are young girls. The thesis interrogates the notion that taking part in ballet is a capitulation to the 'stereotypically feminine', by analysing the testimony of girls aged between 8 and 11 who attend local dancing schools. It presents their comparative assessment of the pedagogies in their primary schools and dancing classes. The thesis interrogates the stability of the idea of 'feminine' and its relationship with the political position of women, employing the theoretical, conceptual foundation for the obverse of a phallogocentric value system developed by psychiatrist Ian D.Suttie (1935), and the possibilities of loosening binary oppositions offered by the semiotic (Greimas') square. The thesis also proposes that the 'symbolic spread' (Frye, 1976: 59) of ballet, and hostility to it, are cognate with the concerns, dynamics, and reception of literary romance, and that both are perceived by the 'guardians oftaste and learning' (Northrop Frye's phrase, 1976:23) in terms which demonstrate Suttie's 'taboo on tenderness'. The thesis brings into representation the history and relationship to the state of British dance culture's 'Private Sector', in dialectical relationship to the largely negative terms in which it is cast by the academic dance community and the maintained education sector. The thesis challenges most private dance schools' exclusion from access to an authentic ballet 'text' by arguing it to be, like ballet's history in the working theatre, marginalised on ideological as much as artistic grounds. It recognises the place of the dancing class in social history, and presently, as a locus of social capital (Putnam, 2000) and, with reference to information from parents and popular culture, as a 'Women's Room' (French, 1977). The study is in part ethnographic, in part literary criticism, and in part historical; it considers representations in fiction, criticism, historiography, and other sources; it also draws on research in cultural and critical theory, education, anthropology, the history of art, sociology, hermeneutics, and other philosophy. It is post-positivist and qualitative. Neither its historical and social findings, nor its theoretical approach, have appeared before in the critical record.

Find full textAbstract:
Prior to the 1960s, which marked the beginning of a fusing of dance styles, classical ballet and modern dance were seen as incompatible. Even with an increasing number of dancers subsequently taking classes in the alternate dance style, the mutual distrust continued; particularly, debate about the suitability of this technique as a training mechanism for modern, or what was now more often called contemporary dance. Simultaneous to this polemic was concerned international discourse on the future of classical ballet itself, and the suitability of curricula that includes classes in both contemporary dance and ballet for the training of diversity in dancers. These
issues, which are of particular relevance in Australia where the predominant form of dance training is in classical ballet, were the genesis for this study.
Through a case study of dance teachers, choreographers, artistic directors, and students in a tertiary setting, this study investigates how the classical ballet technique
informs the training of contemporary dancers at a vocational level. It identifies the aesthetic qualities attributable to the classical ballet technique, and explores key issues in ballet teaching methodology thought to be relevant to the training of contemporary dancers. While examining and supporting the dual technique system
of training dancers at a vocational level, the study also establishes a rationale for such a program at the studio level. Finally the difficulties that ballet trained dancers
experience as they learn contemporary dance for the first time are specified and examined.
It is anticipated that this study will facilitate consensus amongst dance educators, dancers, and employers of dancers about the value of classical ballet in the training
of contemporary dancers. This consensus will have the potential to inform both curriculum and methodological discussion in dance training courses.

Full textAbstract:
Literature on the topic of ballet in South Africa is growing. However, there are still gaps as a result of the fragmentation of sources. This dissertation draws on primary and secondary sources to try to provide a coherent discussion of the history of ballet in South Africa from a fresh perspective. The research demonstrates that ballet has been in constant engagement with South African history and society since its arrival on African shores. Through secondary and primary literature, the research starts by engaging with South African balletic history by looking at an overview of ballet’s journey to South Africa and the establishment of balletic societies and institutions. Emphasis is placed on the more successful institutions based in Cape Town and Johannesburg. The history of these institutions, as traced within the research, demonstrates the responsiveness of the balletic community to the environment in which they were situated. South African choreographed ballets with Afrocentric themes are used to highlight the responsiveness that the ballet community has demonstrated towards the historical climate and structures within South African society during and after apartheid. Finally, ballet is explored in the post-apartheid context. Topics that are engaged with here include the removal of grand and petty apartheid policies, as well as the ideas behind the decolonisation of ballet as exemplified by the Cuban-South African exchange.Dissertation (MSocSci)--University of Pretoria, 2019.

Resumo: A interação professor - aluno e suas conseqüências na formação de crianças, jovens e adultos, têm sido objeto de diversos estudos na área da Educação. Na área do ensino da dança, mais especificamente, do ensino do ballet clássico, esta discussão foi até então pouco abordada. O objetivo desta pesquisa é investigar se a relação professor-aluno no ensino de ballet é determinante para a permanência (ou abandono) do aluno na dança. Partimos da premissa de que o ballet, em meio às outras técnicas de dança ensinadas em escolas livres (academias, conservatórios), continua sendo a mais disseminada, por isso a forma como é ensinada pode influenciar a concepção que o aluno terá sobre dança. Trata-se de uma técnica rígida e sistematizada, que impõe um padrão físico pré-estabelecido e talvez em virtude disto, o que se constata nas aulas é uma postura austera do professor em relação a seus alunos, ilustrada aqui pela imagem do bastão em punho. Acreditamos que a relação professor-aluno mais próxima e a preocupação com a individualidade do aluno muito teriam a enriquecer o ensino de dança
Abstract: The teacher-student relationship and its affects over children, young people and adults development, has been the subject of several studies in educational area. In the area of dance education, c1assical ballet education specificity, this theme has been little discussed. The subject of this research is investigating if the teacher-student relationship in barbet education has any importance in stimulating the students' interest or causing them to give up. We've started on the premise that since ballet, among other dance techniques taught in free schools (academies, conservatories), continues to be the more widely taught, and that there is real importance in the way it is taught: it can have an influence on the student's concept of dancing. Ballet is a rigid and systematic technique, which imposes a pre-established physical standard and, perhaps, it could be the reason that we usably see an austere teacher posture in relation with his/her students, here illustrated by the image of stick in hand. We believe that a c1oser teacher-student relationship in which the teacher is concerned with each individual can ready enrich dance education

Full textAbstract:
This practice-led research project examines how sculpture can act as a site or medium for responding to slippages, interruptions and changes of state; and, in doing so explores the subjective connotations of form and material. By undertaking intuitive studio experiments informed by interwoven processes of chance and control and interpreting the outcomes through the metaphoric connotations of form, I seek to harness a range of tensions and contradictions inherent to the processes of making, and to realize a body of works that are reflective of personal biography, memory and the human condition. This research has been informed by the works of Michael Landy, Jimmie Durham and Robert Smithson as well as theories that relate to Synectics and the writing of Susanne Langer. Regarded as a whole, this project aims to identify and analyse the complex interactions of material and metaphor that can occur in the making of contemporary art.

Full textAbstract:
O passo plié é um dos mais importantes do ballet clássico e sua execução incorreta, no que tange aos desalinhamentos articulares dos membros inferiores, pode vir a gerar lesões musculoesqueléticas em quadris, joelhos, tornozelos e pés dos bailarinos. Caracterizado pela flexão simultânea das articulações coxofemorais, femorotibiais e talocrurais, o plié deve ser executado com a manutenção da rotação externa de coxofemorais ou en dehors, sem que se faça, para isso, a rotação externa da tíbia e ou do pé de maneira compensatória. Segundo os preceitos técnicos, uma correta execução de todas as fases do passo plié deve contar com: (1) a estabilização do arco longitudinal do pé ou do médio pé; (2) o posicionamento e a estabilização da pelve na posição neutra; e (3) o alinhamento entre o joelho e o 2º dedo do pé ipsilateral. Estes critérios devem ser repetidamente trabalhados para que a bailarina(o) consiga, gradualmente, atingir a plenitude de linhas e amplitudes de movimento exigidas pela modalidade. Até onde se tem conhecimento, não se encontrou registro de qualquer instrumento avaliativo que auxilie metodologicamente os profissionais que lidam com o público de bailarinos a corrigirem e ou identificarem problemas compensatórios na execução do passo plié. Diante, portanto, da importância da manutenção dos critérios técnicos ao executar o passo plié e visando auxiliar no processo ensinoaprendizagem- treinamento de maneira tanto preventiva como por meio da reabilitação daquelas lesões já instaladas, os objetivos desta dissertação foram: (1) aprimorar a versão inicial do MADAAMI, introduzindo a avaliação pélvica dos bailarinos durante o passo plié, e realizar a sua validação interna (validade de conteúdo, reprodutibilidade intra e inter-avaliador); (2) determinar valores de referência cinemáticos correspondentes a uma execução adequada do passo, sem compensações articulares prejudiciais, seguindo as orientações técnicas do ballet clássico e os mesmos critérios avaliados pelo MADAAMI; e (3) identificar a concordância entre a avaliação realizada pelo MADAAMI (método qualitativo) e a avaliação cinemática (método quantitativo) do passo plié, com base nos critérios técnicos do ballet clássico. Vinte bailarinas foram avaliadas, simultaneamente, pelo MAADAMI (que consiste em uma filmagem, com uma única câmera, de bailarinos executando o passo plié e uma planilha de pontuação que avalia os critérios técnicos do passo) e pela avaliação cinemática 3D (por meio de quatro câmeras de vídeo sincronizadas entre si, estando os membros inferiores com 22 marcadores reflexivos situados em pontos anatômicos específicos). Após a reconstrução da imagem, no software Dvideow, foram obtidos valores de referência que permitiram classificar as bailarinas segundo os critérios técnicos da correta execução do passo plié. A análise estatística foi realizada no software SPSS 18.0, por meio do Coeficiente Kappa e Percentual de Concordância. Os resultados demonstraram que: (1) na validação interna, o MAADAMI apresenta validade de conteúdo, segundo avaliação de 12 experts no assunto; e apresenta índices satisfatórios de reprodutibilidade intra-avaliador, sendo indicado o seu uso na íntegra por um mesmo avaliador. O uso do MAADAMI por mais de um avaliador somente é recomendada na versão short (pois os índices satisfatórios de reprodutibilidade inter-avaliador foram encontrados apenas nos critérios: “joelho alinhado” na 1ª e na 2ª posição de pés e “médio pé estável” apenas na 1ª posição de pés na etapa “estática” da fase “com joelhos estendidos” antes do demi plié); (2) os valores de referência cinemáticos permitiram a quantificação angular e métrica dos critérios da correta execução do passo plié; e (3) na validação de concordância, os critérios do MAADAMI, para avaliar o passo plié, apresentaram concordância com os valores de referência da avaliação cinemática, com exceção da avaliação do critério “descrição da posição da pelve”. A presente dissertação apresenta, também, um capítulo de revisão de literatura sobre a técnica do ballet clássico, a fisiologia articular, o passo plié e suas lesões associadas. Conclui-se, a partir dos resultados encontrados, que o MADAAMI caracteriza-se como uma metodologia válida e reprodutível para a avaliação dinâmica do alinhamento articular dos membros inferiores de bailarinos executando o passo plié de ballet clássico.Step plié is one of the most important steps of classical ballet and its incorrect execution, in relation to lower limb joint misalignments, could generate musculoskeletal injuries in hips, knees, ankles and feet of dancers. Characterized by simultaneous flexion of the hip joints, femorotibiais and talocrurais, the plié should be performed with maintaining the external rotation of hip or en dehors, without make up for that the external rotation of the tibia and foot in a compensatory manner. According to the precepts technicians, a correct execution of all the phases of step plié must have: (1) the stabilization of the longitudinal arch of the foot or middle-foot; (2) positioning and stabilizing the pelvis in the neutral position; and (3) alignment between the knee and the second toe ipsilateral. These criteria must be repeatedly worked for the dancer can gradually attain the fullness of lines and ranges of motion required by the modality. As far as we are aware, there was no record of any assessment tool that assists methodologically professionals who deal with dancers that could identify and correct the compensatory problems of plié step. Given, therefore, the importance of maintaining the technical criteria to perform step plié and aiming to help in the instruction-learning-training process, so both preventive and through rehabilitation of those injuries already installed, the objectives of this dissertation were: (1) Enhance the initial release of MADAAMI, introducing the evaluation of pelvic dancers during step plié, and perform internal validation (content validity, intra and inter-rater reproducibility); (2) determine kinematic reference values corresponding to a proper execution of the step, without compensation articular harmful, following the guidelines of classical ballet technique and the same criteria evaluated by MADAAMI; and (3) identify the correlation between evaluation by MADAAMI (qualitative method) and kinematic evaluation (quantitative method) from plié step, based on technical criteria of classical ballet. Twenty dancers were evaluated simultaneously by MAADAMI (consisting of a video with a single camera, of dancers performing plié step and a score sheet that evaluates the technical criteria of the step) and by 3D kinematic evaluating (through four video cameras synchronized together, being lower limbs with 22 reflective markers placed on specific anatomical landmarks). After image reconstruction, in Dvideow software, reference values were obtained that allowed classify the dancers according to technical criteria for correct execution of plié step. Statistical analysis was performed in SPSS 18.0 software, through Kappa Coefficient and Percentage of Agreement. The results showed that: (1) in the internal validation, according to an evaluation of 12 experts in the subject, MAADAMI presents content validity; and has satisfactory levels of intra-rater reproducibility, and its use is indicated in its entirety by the same examiner. The use of MAADAMI by more than one evaluator is only recommended in the short version (because satisfactory levels of inter-rater reproducibility were found only on the criteria: “aligned knee” in 1st and 2nd feet position and “stable midfoot” only in 1st position of feet in “static” step, “with knees straight” stage before demi plié); (2) the kinematic reference values allowed the angular and metric quantification criteria of the correct execution of plié step; and (3) in validation of agreement, to evaluate plié step, the MAADAMI criteria, showed agreement with the reference values of the kinematic evaluation, except the evaluation criterion “description of pelvis position”. This dissertation also presents a chapter of literature review about the technique of classical ballet, the articular physiology, plié step and their associated injuries. It is concluded from the results found that MADAAMI is characterized as a valid and reproducible methodology for the dynamic evaluation of the joint alignment of the lower limbs in dancers executing plié step in classical ballet.

Wright, Jarrell D. "Dancing before the Lord| Renaissance ludics and incarnational discourse." Thesis, University of Pittsburgh, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3725605.
Full textAbstract:
Play is a manifestation of overflowing excess. When applied to the study of discourse, this bounty can be understood in terms of figurativeness and depth. If “degree-zero” discourse is the almost entirely unfigured language of an instruction manual, then verse lies near the other extreme: highly figured and elaborate language open to rich interpretive possibilities. I posit a further pole yet on this continuum: the hyperabundant texts of the Renaissance, when ludics were at a height partially quashed by the Enlightenment preference for the plain style. These ludic texts are not merely decorative but rather reflect the incarnational impulse of Renaissance Christian thought; they attempt to praise and to imitate the power of Divine language, in which Word is made Flesh in the West’s master model of superabundance, grace through Christ’s Incarnation and Sacrifice.
This project conducts three case studies of playfully incarnational discourses during the Renaissance: in speech, in imagery, and in verse. First, it analyzes sermons by John Donne that reflect candidly on the power of Donne’s own ludic speech, concluding that his transgressive, gamelike rhetoric was oriented toward stimulating responsive action. Next, it examines period images through the lens of contemporary popular works that conceive of images as puzzles to be decoded, solved, and read, concluding that period anamorphoses and similar works were efforts to infuse images with lively presence in a way that helps to account for iconophobic and iconophilic strains in English Reformation thought. Finally, it reads George Herbert’s deceptively simple poem, “The Altar,” examining how the piece may be understood as an intervention into the shaped-verse tradition and how it reflects on period debates about Church fabric, concluding that the toylike or tricklike construction evokes the Eucharistic presence of the Divine in Herbert’s worshipful meditation.
At stake are a greater appreciation for Renaissance artistry, a fuller understanding of the complexityof the English Reformation, and a richer vocabularyfor play theorists working with ludic discourses. A conclusion considers these implications and explains whyRenaissance thinkers might have chosen a ludic mode of imitative worship—God’s grace and creation are themselves forms of play.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a study of race and ethnicity in culture and the arts. It discusses whiteness and racism in ballet and addresses a gap in the literature for both disciplines Ballet and Race and Ethnic Studies. Even if ballet is a privileged art form that for centuries has served statecraft, survived revolutions, and political instability the problem of race in ballet is jeopardizing its validity and acceptance in the contemporary world. I ask if racism in ballet is more than behaviors, if it designates ideology, or if it is a matter of visuality and aesthetics. I do this to provide insight into how race is projected in and through the art form in question. The need to transcend the scope of a single discipline brought me to adopt interdisciplinary research to analyze ballet right at the intersection with crossing perspectives linked to the body, aesthetics, performance, privilege, race, and gender. The thesis shows that ballet gives material expression to whiteness as ideology and is compliant with an exclusive approach to an idea of the body and beauty that presupposes racist attitudes and behaviors. At the institutional level, the experience of ballet is whiteness -unnamed, unmarked, universal. But for those bodies outside the constructs of whiteness, the experience is marked by racism and objective barriers. The study informs that an exclusive discourse of the body, often disguised as aesthetic discourse, translates into limited access to ballet education, body shaming, harassment, and fewer job opportunities. However, ballet is an art form, it is more than whiteness or racism. It creates beauty in the body of the dancer which is both instrument and object of art. Ballet dancers invest their lives learning and performing an art form that some other people cherish, but how come a space of whiteness and racism is perceived as beautiful? The thesis elucidates the importance of this reflection also.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines three photomontages by Berlin Dada artist Hannah Höch, The Beautiful Girl (1919-20), an untitled work from 1920, and Dada-Tanz (1922). It discusses how Höch used photomontage to fulfill the Dada mission of incorporating chaos into art as an expressive means of commenting on the sociopolitical climate of Germany post-World War I. These three photomontages specifically reveal Höch's concerns for female individuality in an environment of gender inequality during this early modern era.

Drysdale, Louise. "Does bone-targeted training reduce bone injury-related time loss to dancing in preprofessional classical ballet dancers? BalletMor: A feasibility study." Thesis, Griffith University, 2021. http://hdl.handle.net/10072/409179.
Full textAbstract:
Pre-professional ballet dancers are at risk of injury to bone, particularly stress reactions and stress fractures. Low energy availability (LEA), high number of training hours, irregular menstruation, and subsequent poor bone health are factors that may increase this risk. Bone stress injuries (BSI) result in long periods of rehabilitation for young dancers, negatively affect career progression and may indicate poor bone or systemic health, which can affect quality of life in later years. Such injuries occur due to repeated load exposures below the fracture threshold of bone.
Whilst the benefits of supplementary resistance training in ballet have been explored with aims to improve performance and reduce injury, there has been no specific focus on reducing bone-related injury. Conversely, resistance training incorporated into youth sports training may reduce risk of injury by up to 68%. Additionally, jumping and multidirectional loading exercises have been shown to improve bone health in adolescents and athlees respectively. High intensity, resistance and impact training (HiRIT) improves bone health in older persons who have low bone density. Thus, it is possible that HiRIT may improve bone density and reduce bone stress injuries in adolescent female ballet dancers. Before large scale testing is considered, the feasibility of HiRIT in an elite ballet setting must be tested.
Methods
Eighteen female adolescent dancers (baseline age 16.6 ±1.6yrs) training more than 12 hours per week from an elite training school in Brisbane, Queensland were recruited to participate in twice-weekly HiRIT for eight months.
Participants completed exercise diaries to determine compliance and progress in the HiRIT. Ballet students and their teachers completed separate researcher-designed, Likert scale questionnaires to gauge satisfaction (perceived worth, enjoyment and benefits) with the HiRIT program. Student participants recalled the previous 12 months injuries pre- and postintervention, estimating days of complete rest and/or modified dance.
Bone mass was estimated with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at study commencement and completion, along with trunk extensor strength (kg), simple anthropometrics (height, weight, lower limb girth), and double and single leg jump height (m). A calcium intake questionnaire (AusCal) and the Low Energy Availability in Females Questionnaire (LEAF-Q) were completed to determine menstrual irregularity and identify potential LEA. Exercise history and lower limb hypermobility was also determined. Adverse events were recorded.
Recruitment, attendance, and loss to follow up were recorded as percentages. A paired t-test was used to analyse responses to student satisfaction questionnaires of HiRIT (acceptability) and a one sample t-test was used to determine teacher acceptance of HiRIT. A Wilcoxon Rank Signed Test determined differences in days rest and days modified due to injury. Mean percent change for other secondary outcomes was determined. Pearson and Spearman correlations of secondary outcomes were conducted to explore trends, depending on normality testing.
COVID19 Note
The intervention phase of this study was conducted in 2020 and halted by the unprecedented coronavirus pandemic. Dancers had completed one month of a planned 8- month HiRIT program. A framework for return to sport in a COVID19 environment has been released by the Australian Institute of Sport, detailing events leading to COVID19 arriving in Australia. During the pandemic, dancers were confined to their homes. Modified ballet training was continued via video conference, but it was not possible to continue HiRIT activities. No participants were confirmed to have contracted COVID19. Ballet training returned face to face after 9-11 weeks of isolation. The HiRIT program recommenced two weeks after returning from isolation and resuming normal training. Total HiRIT training time was reduced from 35 weeks to between 23 and 26 weeks.
Results
HiRIT was not feasible in terms of recruitment (36% of eligible female ballet students) or compliance (60.2 ±18.8) %, however loss to follow up was lower than the anticipated 30% (19%). The program was acceptable (scores ± 30/50) to ballet students (44.0 ± 4.2), p = 0.019, but not to their ballet teachers (22.6 ± 6.4), p = 0.6. Time lost (days of rest or modified training) due to injury was not reduced, nor was the incidence of BSI. No adverse events were recorded.
Mean percent improvement in whole body bone mineral density (BMD) (3.63 ± 4.33) and bone mineral content (BMC) (5.11 ± 4.37), lumbar spine BMD (3.23 ± 2.62) and BMC (5.55 ± 3.59), and forearm and back extensor strength (22.16 ± 23.84) were observed.
Conclusion
HiRIT was not feasible in an elite ballet training institution, due to low recruitment numbers and low compliance. Numbers lost to follow up were low and no adverse events were recorded. Ballet students accepted HiRIT, however ballet teachers did not. There was no reduction in time loss injuries. Future controlled trials or longitudinal follow up are required to determine the clinical significance of bone and performance effects of HiRIT.Thesis (Masters)

Full textAbstract:
The context in which any artist creates an artwork is integral to understanding its significance, and one crucial aspect of context is how a work was created. When first looking at how Edgar Degas created his dancer paintings, his process seems simple- he watched the dancers and then painted what he saw. However, that is only a surface examination of a much more complicated system of observation, practice, repetition, mastery, and reproduction. This thesis investigates how Degas bridged the gap between observation and understanding of balletic technique; how deep his knowledge of balletic technique was; and if Degas did have a deep understanding of balletic technique, what process he utilized to gain that knowledge. It reconstructs the process Degas utilized to learn and then reproduce the repertoire of the Paris Opéra ballet by pairing visual analysis of specific works with my own knowledge of ballet technique as a dancer of twenty years. Ultimately, this study reveals that Degas learned how to dance classical ballet by mimicking the process ballerinas used to learn how to dance: first watching, then doing, and finally performing.

Full textAbstract:
Rolf de Maré, directeur, et Jean Biirlin, chorégraphe, fondent à Paris, en 1920 les Ballets suédois. Durant ses cinq années d'existence, cette compagnie affiche la volonté de se libérer de l'hégémonie russe en proposant des programmes audacieux. Les plus novateurs d'entre eux sont réalisés avec la collaboration de compositeurs du Groupe des Six -Milhaud, Poulenc, Honegger, Auric, Tailleferre - mais aussi celle d'écrivains et de peintres tels Jean Cocteau, Paul Claudel, Blaise Cendrars, Ricciotto Canudo, Fernand Léger, Jean Hugo et Irène Lagut. Entre 1921 et 1923, la compagnie crée au Théâtre des Champs Elysées : L'Homme et son désir de Milhaud, Les Mariés de la Tour Eiffel des Six (sauf Durey), Skating Rink de Honegger, Marchand d'oiseaux de Tailleferre et La Création du monde de Milhaud. Autant de prototypes dans lesquels le théâtre, la peinture et la musique imposent un renouvellement chorégraphique constant,mais également un renouvellement du ballet comme genre. Cette thèse s'intéresse au rapport de ces compositions avec les autres arts sollicités dans une même énergie créatrice. L'étude génétique s'appuie sur la comparaison des partitions manuscrites avec les tapuscrits et manuscrits des livrets (conservés entre autres au Dans muse et de Stockholm, au fonds B. Cendrars des Archives Littéraires Suisses à Berne). Elle consulte aussi les correspondances, les maquettes de décors, de costumes, les esquisses chorégraphiques et permet de définir la place et le rôle de tous les acteurs de ces ballets. Elle souligne l'impact de la collaboration des Suédois avec les Six non seulement sur l'évolution de la danse mais aussi sur celle des autres artsThe Ballets suédois was formed in Paris in 1920 by Rolf de Maré, director, and Jean Biirlin,choreographer. In its five-year existence, this company asserted its wish to break away from the Russianhegemony by proposing daring performances. The most innovative of them were created in collaborationwith composers from 'les six' such as Milhaud, Poulenc, Honeger, Auric or Tailleferre, and also with thecontribution of writers and painters such as Jean Cocteau, Paul Claudel, Blaise Cendrars, RicciottoCanudo, Fernand Léger, Jean Hugo or Irène Lagut. Between 1921 and 1923, the company stagedMilhaud's L'Homme et son désir and La Création du monde, Honegger's Skating Rink, Tailleferre'sMarchand d'oiseaux and The Marriage on the Eiffel Tower by 'les six' (to which Durey did notcontribute) at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées; so many prototypes on which drama, painting and musicnot only imposed constant choreographic renewal, but a renewal of the ballet as a genre. This thesis dealswith the connection between those compositions and the different forms of art they combine in the samecreative energy. The genetic study is based on the comparison of the handwritten scores with thetapuscripts and the manuscripts of the librettos (kept at the Dansmuseet in Stockholm or at the FundsBlaise Cendrars of the Swiss Literary Archives in Bern). It also studies correspondence, models ofscenery, costumes, choreographic sketches and aims at defining the place and role of al! the performers in_those ballets. It stresses the impact the collaboration between the Swedish and 'les six' had, not only onthe evolution of dancing, but also on thal of other forms of arts

Una ricerca che si prefigga di studiare la danza teatrale nel Settecento s’imbatte inevitabilmente in un nodo problematico: l’oggetto della ricerca non è (più). Di esso sono rimaste soltanto alcune tracce, ovvero una serie di materiali eterogenei che si presentano come effetti capaci di mostrare la causalità della causa – l’oggetto vacante – ma non la sua forma. A partire dalle opere riformatrici di G. Angiolini e J.G. Noverre nonché dai testi di diversi filosofi coevi interessati allo statuto del gesto, la tesi interroga la congerie di effetti sopravvissuta al ballet d’action per approfondire la danza come forma artistica e forma del sapere all’interno del più ampio sistema della rappresentazione. Nello specifico la tesi si propone di mostrare come il segno negativo che contraddistingue variamente la disciplina tersicorea e il dibattito critico su di essa nel XVIII secolo sia da ricondurre più propriamente all’essenziale matrice espressiva del gesto stesso e abbia contribuito a un progressivo slittamento del paradigma classico della mimesi della natura da un’accezione “imitativo-riproduttiva” a una “espressivo-creativa”.A research that aims at examining the theatrical dance in the XVIII century is bound to face a problematic crux: the research object is not anymore. Some traces have remained, namely, a series of various materials able to show the causality of the cause – the vacant object – but not its form. The survey starts from the revolutionary works by G. Angiolini and J.G. Noverre and goes through different philosophicals texts of authors who were interested in the status of the gesture; it questions the bunch of effects which overcame the ballet d’action in order to look into the dance as a form of art and knowledge within the wider system of representation. Particularly, the research wants to show as the negative sign which marks this discipline and the XVIII critical debate on it has to be referred to the essential expressive nature of the gesture which led to a progressive shifting of the classic paradigm of the mimesis of nature from being “imitative-reproductive” to become “expressive-creative”

Um dos elementos característicos do balé clássico é o uso da sapatilha de ponta, um calçado que possibilita a dança na ponta dos pés. Seu uso remonta ao período romântico na dança (século XIX), e foi um dos elementos que tornou possível a reprodução dos significados estéticos desse movimento artístico. O uso da sapatilha de ponta é encarado como um ritual de passagem para toda aspirante a bailarina. Normalmente cabe ao professor avaliar suas alunas e decidir o momento ideal para começar a prática nas pontas, o que deve ser feito de maneira responsável, caso contrário, vários danos podem ser causados à saúde da praticante. Reconhecendo a complexidade do processo de indicação e com a ideia de identificar elementos que o envolvem, o objetivo do estudo foi compreender como ocorre o processo de indicação do uso da sapatilha de ponta sob o ponto de vista de professores e alunas de Balé Clássico. Foi feito um estudo descritivo e exploratório, conduzido pela abordagem qualitativa. Participaram da pesquisa catorze professores e onze alunas de balé clássico de instituições privadas da cidade do Recife. Para a coleta dos dados, ambos os participantes foram submetidos a um roteiro para entrevista semiestruturada. Para as alunas, foi acrescida a solicitação de desenho(s) e narrativa da(s) imagem(ns) construída(s). Todas as falas foram gravadas e transcritas. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de conteúdo (BARDIN, 2011), com auxílio do software Atlas.ti for Mac. Após a análise das falas, os resultados foram agrupados em duas categorias analíticas/temáticas: os professores, o ensino do balé e a indicação para o uso da sapatilha de ponta e as alunas, a prática do balé e o uso da sapatilha de ponta. Para os professores, o ensino do balé apresentou-se marcado por dualidades envolvendo suas crenças versus realidade, bem como a presença dos conhecimentos empírico e científico; a indicação para o uso da sapatilha de ponta teve a ver com a abordagem didático-pedagógica e a verificação de critérios, tanto objetivos quanto subjetivos. As alunas pareceram ter clareza dos requisitos importantes para o uso da sapatilha de ponta, mas também compreenderam que a palavra final é do professor. Os significados referidos à sapatilha foram marcados pela expectativa, por uma forte presença iconográfica, pela influência de modelos ao longo da formação e por valores estéticos. Estes significados remeteram-se a ideais de feminilidade, estimulando comportamentos esperados para uma aspirante a bailarina. Os achados da pesquisa servem de subsídios para nortear novos estudos, ampliando a discussão sobre o tema em questão e, possivelmente, auxiliando na construção de propostas de intervenção que aliem conhecimentos da Arte, Educação e Saúde.
One of ballet’s features is the use of pointe shoe, a shoe that enables the dance on the tip of the toes. Its use dates back to the Romantic period in dance (19th century), and was one of the elements that made possible the reproduction of the aesthetic meanings of this artistic movement. The use of pointe shoes is seen as a rite of passage for any aspiring ballet dancer. Usually it is up to the teacher evaluate their students and decide the ideal moment to start practice at the pointe shoes, which should be done in a responsible way, otherwise severe damage can be caused to the health of the practitioner. Recognizing the complexity of the nomination process, and with the purpose of identifying elements that involve it, the aim of the research was to understand how is the process of indication of pointe shoes from the point of view of ballet teachers and students. A descriptive and exploratory study, conducted by the qualitative approach, was made. Research participants were fourteen teachers and eleven students of private institutions in the city of Recife. To collect data, all the participants underwent a roadmap for semi-structured interview. For the students, it was also requested drawings and their description. All speeches were recorded and transcribed. Data were submited to content analysis (BARDIN, 2011) with the support of Atlas.ti software for Mac. After analyzing the speeches, the results were grouped into two analytical/thematic categories: teachers, ballet instruction and indication for the use of pointe shoe and students, ballet practice and use of pointe shoe. For teachers, the ballet instruction was marked by dualities involving their beliefs versus reality, and the use of empirical and scientific knowledge; the indication for the use of pointe shoe involved didactic and pedagogical approach and criteria of verification, both objective and subjective. The students seemed to have clear in mind the requirements for the use of pointe shoe, but also understood that teachers give the final decision. The meanings of pointe shoes were marked by expectation, a strong iconographic presence, influence of models over the training and aesthetic values. These meanings forwarded some ideals of femininity, encouraging behaviors expected for an aspiring dancer. The outcomes of this research serve as subsidies to guide further studies, expanding the discussion on the topic at stake and possibly assisting in the construction of intervention proposals that combine Art’s knowledge, Education and Health.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse a pour objet d’étude les processus d’élaboration de nouveaux ballets dans les compagnies de répertoire. À travers une enquête internationale, elle se propose d’interroger dans une perspective sociologique la situation de création spécifique qui est celle des chorégraphes de formation classique, insérés dans des institutions vouées principalement à l’entretien d’un répertoire d’œuvres existantes. Leurs trajectoires professionnelles et les différences genrées qu’elles mettent en évidence y sont élucidées, ainsi que la dimension fondamentalement collective d’un travail artistique qui implique la coopération d’autres acteurs, notamment les interprètes et les répétiteurs. À partir des formes d’incorporation et de circulation du mouvement, des logiques de création se dégagent, qui permettent d’interroger la nature de l’autorité créative du chorégraphe.Appuyé sur l’observation des répétitions de cinq créations au Ballet du Bolchoï, au Ballet de l’Opéra de Paris, à l’English National Ballet et au New York City Ballet, ce travail est complété par 29 entretiens et une base de données recensant toutes les créations des compagnies étudiées entre 2000 et 2016. Ces données croisées permettent de faire ressortir l’imaginaire commun qui sous-tend le travail des chorégraphes au XXIe siècle, les différences entre les quatre pays ainsi que les tensions propres à une forme de création identifiée comme classiqueCreativity within classical art forms is often underrated, and little is known about what it takes to craft a new ballet. This thesis explores the process of making new works in ballet companies today from a sociological perspective. Drawing on original field work in four countries, it looks at the specificity of the creative endeavours of ballet-trained choreographers, who work in institutional contexts where creation is allowed only limited space in comparison to the existing repertoire. The career trajectories of classical choreographers are addressed along with gender biases in the field. An in-depth look at the ways in which movement is shared, shaped and incorporated in the studio reveals the collective nature of creative processes which closely involve dancers and ballet masters.In addition to sustained periods of observation related to five creations at the Bolshoi Ballet, English National Ballet, New York City Ballet and the Paris Opera Ballet, the data gathered includes 29 interviews and a database listing every ballet created by the four companies above between 2000 and 2016. These findings shed light on the classical imaginary – a network of images and models, I argue, underpinning the work of 21st-century ballet choreographers – and highlight the complexity of classical artistic identities today

Cette recherche s'articule autour de trois thèmes - astrologie, prophétie et théurgie - dans le but d'éclairer la redécouverte en France d'une gnose païenne à laquelle les Médicis avaient donné l'impulsion. Elle se propose de définir le rôle joué par Catherine de Médicis dans l'interaction entre art,. Hermétisme et néoplatonisme et d'étudier comment ces savoirs ont contribué à la mise en place d'une propagande artistique visant à exalter le pouvoir royal. En partant des études de F. Yates, qui reconnaissait dans la production artistique promue par les derniers Valois une finalité magique inspirée par la reine Médicis, ce travail se concentre sur les images liées à la reine, susceptibles d'avoir une connotation astrologique ou magique. L'analyse de la notion d'image talismanique montre toutefois que ses possibilités d'application aux œuvres d'art sont très limitées et que la méfiance des humanistes français à l'égard des images astrales caractérise aussi la production artistique.

Entre 1948 et 1962, le fondateur du festival d'art lyrique d'Aix-en-Provence, Gabriel Dussurget, invite les peintres comme Georges Wakhévitch, Cassandre, Balthus, André Derain, Antoni Clavé, André Masson, Nathalie Gontcharova... à concevoir les décors et les costumes des opéras et ballets du Festival. A l'instar des Ballets Russes de Diaghilev, ceux-ci participent à la création de spectacles où la peinture s'allie à la musique, au chant, à la danse, et à la mise en scène dans une conception de l'opéra comme art total. L’activité des peintres au festival se concentre pendant les douze premières années, mais leurs créations seront régulièrement réutilisées jusqu’en 1972. On peut considérer que pendant plus de vingt ans, à Aix, l’œuvre des peintres fait partie intégrante de l’opéra, produit de l’excellence de tous les arts réunis. Son succès assurera au festival une notoriété internationale et contribuera au renouvellement de la scène lyrique française. A partir des collections patrimoniales de décors, costumes et archives conservées par la ville d'Aix-en-Provence, des sources privées et institutionnelles diverses, cette étude va s'attacher à analyser le travail des peintres dans le contexte de leur époque, dans son rapport avec leur œuvre picturale, leurs sources d'inspiration, leurs influences réciproques. Elle tentera d’évaluer la part de création et de modernité qu’ils ont apporté à l'évolution des arts de la scène, mais aussi celle de leurs limites liées aux contraintes du genre, leur parcours personnel et le contexte artistique de la périodeBetween 1948 and 1962, the founder of the Aix-en-Provence Lyric Art Festival, Gabriel Dussurget, invited painters such as Georges Wakhévitch, Cassandre, Balthus, André Derain, Antoni Clavé, André Masson, Nathalie Gontcharova ... to design the sets and costumes for the Festival's operas and ballets. Following the example of Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, they take part in the creation of shows where painting combines with music, song, dance, and staging in a conception of opera as a total art. The activity of the painters at the festival is concentrated during the first twelve years, but their creations will be regularly reused until 1972. It can be considered that for more than twenty years in Aix, the work of the painters was an integral part of the opera, a product of the excellence of all the arts combined. Its success ensured the festival an international reputation and contributed to the renewal of the French operatic scene. Based on the heritage collections of sets, costumes and archives kept by the city of Aix-en-Provence, and on various private and institutional sources, this study will attempt to analyse the work of the painters in the context of their time, in its relation to their pictorial work, their sources of inspiration and their reciprocal influences. It will attempt to evaluate the part of creation and modernity that they brought to the evolution of the performing arts, but also their limits linked to the constraints of the genre, their personal background and the artistic context of the period

DancePh.D.
Mark Morris is deeply engaged with dance traditions and the classics, but he transforms them into modern, eclectic pieces. He often dissolves the distinctions between reality and fantasy, and good and evil, emphasizing reconciliation and love. Morris sculpts his own story and characters from musical elements within the overarching musical structure, portraying the characters and their emotions through detailed variations of movement quality. Characterizing Morris' dual attitudes as ambivalence, this study aims to highlight the dynamic structure and complexity of meaning in his works. I suggest that Morris' ambivalence is related to his perspective, the way he sees the world.

Full textAbstract:
This essay is an attempt to analyze, understand and reconstruct the Swedish Ballet's last work Relâche (1924) based on Richard Wagner's term Gesamtkunstwerk. Gesamtkunstverk in this case above allmeans the cross-border collaboration of artists and art forms in between, which leads according to Wagnerto a whole which is presented here as The Gesamtkunstwerk. The purpose of this essay is to take part in a work that literally no longer exist, and to try to understand itscultural-historical value. All that remains from the Swedish Ballet, is everything but the dance itself. Still we can take part of the Ballet through the artistic synthesis through innumerable collaborations shown in the sets, costumes, posters and musical compositions. I will in the analysis based on four points, try to find the tones indicating that the work is, on the basis of Wagner's definition, a Gesamtkunstwerk. The essay is also an attempt to show the innovation of this Company and to provide redress to which, according to me, is too forgotten in Swedish historiography. The thesis shows both the Swedish Ballet's historical background which includes previous works built by the same principles of collaboration presented. In this section I will also address something, according to me, important; The Swedish homophobia, mainly in the tabloids during the period in which the essay deals with, and the consequences for the company in question. Then I will analyze Relâche on the basis of the four theses, which, according to my investigation shows that the work is a Gesamtkunstwerk.

Resumo: A presente pesquisa tem como campo de investigação os "estados corporais" que permeiam as criações em dança contemporânea. A investigação, que possui um caráter teórico-prático, tem como principal fonte o diário de campo com registros e reflexões sobre processos de criação e exploração de "estados corporais". A pesquisa corporal se deu principalmente dentro do contexto do Núcleo Artérias (São Paulo-SP), dirigido por Adriana Grechi e, paralelamente, com o Grupo Vão (São Paulo-SP), coletivo de dança do qual a pesquisadora é integrante e codiretora. A partir da prática e das questões geradas por esse fazer, a dissertação traça paralelos entre artistas e pesquisadores que possam contribuir para a contextualização e problematização em torno do termo "estado corporal", discutindo os elementos presentes na criação artística e analisando qualitativamente as atividades experimentais da pesquisa. Desse modo, a reflexão emerge do entrelaçamento entre experiências em processos criativos, leitura dos materiais bibliográficos, análise de obras coreográficas e entrevista com artistas, com o interesse de abordar o campo de pesquisa "estados corporais" como catalisador de questões para a dança na contemporaneidade
Abstract: This dissertation has as its research field the "body states" that are related to creation in contemporary dance. The investigation, which has a theorist practical study, has as its main source the journey about experience of the "body states" creation. The body research mainly happened inside of the Núcleo Artérias (São Paulo-SP) context and at the same time with Grupo Vão (São Paulo-SP), a dance collective that the researcher is dancer and codirect. Taking the practice as a starting point, the dissertation draws parallel between artists and researchers that may contribute to the discussion around "body states" by discussing the elements in artistic creation and by qualitative analyzing of experimental activities of this research. By this way, the reflection emerges from de interlacement between the experience in creative processes, reading the bibliography, analyses of choreographic works and interviews with artists, aiming to approach the field research "body states" as a catalyzer of issues to the contemporary dance

Full textAbstract:
François-Antoine-Valentin Riccoboni (1707-1772) représente un paradigme de la rencontre des cultures théâtrales italienne et française au XVIIIe siècle, du point de vue des pratiques scéniques, de la dramaturgie, de la poétique et de la théorie du jeu. Son travail d’acteur participe de l’esthétique italienne visant un jeu plus simple et naturel, qui aura plusieurs échos dans la réforme de la pratique scénique française, la critique contemporaine et la théorie du jeu. Son œuvre se développe dans le sillon de la tradition de la Comédie-Italienne de Paris, démontrant la persistance des processus de composition poétique typiques du savoir artistique italien. Danseur et maître de ballet, François expérimente les possibilités du ballet-pantomime au carrefour des influences choreutiques anglaises, foraines, et du jeu pantomimique italien. Son Art du Théâtre (1750) représente la translation de sa pratique scénique dans le domaine théorique et esthétique. Manuel à l’usage des aspirants acteurs, il revendique aussi une théorie fondée exclusivement sur la pratique du plateau. Aussi, définit-il pour la première fois une théorie du jeu qui repose sur les qualités rationnelles et imitatives de l’acteur, laquelle influencera notamment le Diderot du Paradoxe. Divisé en quatre parties, notre travail reconstruit la vie de Riccoboni (I Partie) ; essaie de saisir son jeu scénique en italien à l’impromptu, en français, dans le chant et dans la danse (II Partie) ; analyse son œuvre dramatique (III Partie) ; étudie l’Art du Théâtre (IV Partie). Deux volumes d’annexes rassemblent des documents d’archives inédits, le répertoire raisonné et l’édition des œuvres inédites de FrançoisFrançois Antoine Valentin Riccoboni (1707-1772) exemplifies the intersection between Italian and French theatrical cultures in the 18th century in terms of staging practices, dramaturgy, poetics, and the theory of acting. Rooted in the Italian aesthetic, his acting aimed to achieve a style that was simpler and more natural and would be echoed in a number of ways in the reform of French stagecraft, contemporary criticism and the theory of acting. His work develops in alignment with the tradition of the Comédie Italienne in Paris, thus demonstrating the longevity of the process of poetic composition characteristic of the Italian artistic expertise. Dancer and ballet master, Riccoboni experiments with the possibilities of the ballet-pantomime at the juncture of influences from English dance, fairgrounds, and Italien pantomime. His Art du Théâtre (1750) proposes the transposition of his stage techniques in the areas of theory and aesthetics. A practical handbook designed for aspiring actors, it claims also to be a theory based solely on stage experience. It articulates, for the first time, a theory of acting based on the rational and imitative qualities of the actor, which will influence notably Diderot in Le Paradoxe. Divided in four parts, this doctoral dissertation retraces Riccoboni’s life (Part I); attempts to understand his stage craft in Italian all’improvviso, in French, in song and dance (Part II); analyzes his dramatic works (Part III); and studies his Art du Théâtre (Part IV). Two volumes of appendices offer previously unpublished archival sources as well as the annotated inventory and edition of previously unpublished texts by Riccoboni
François Antoine Valentin Riccoboni (1707-1772) rappresenta un paradigma dell’incontro tra la cultura teatrale italiana e francese nel XVIII secolo, dal punto di vista della pratica scenica, della drammaturgia, della poetica e della teoria della recitazione. La sua arte attoriale partecipa dell’estetica italiana, tesa ad una recitazione più semplice e naturale, che avrà delle eco importanti nella riforma della pratica scenica francese, nella critica contemporanea e nella teoria della recitazione. La sua opera si sviluppa nel solco della tradizione della Comédie Italienne di Parigi, dimostrando la persistenza di processi compositivi tipici del sapere artistico italiano. Ballerino e maître de ballet, François sperimenta anche le possibilità del ballet-pantomime all’incrocio delle influenze coreutiche inglesi, foraines, e dell’arte scenica e pantomimica italiana. Il suo Art du Théâtre (1750) rappresenta la traslazione della sua pratica attoriale nel dominio teorico ed estetico. Manuale pratico all’uso degli aspiranti attori, esso rivendica inoltre una teoria fondata esclusivamente sulla pratica del palcoscenico e definisce per la prima volta un processo interpretativo basato sulle qualità razionali e imitative dell’attore, teoria che influenzerà particolarmente il Diderot del Paradoxe. Diviso in quattro parti, il nostro lavoro ricostruisce la vita di Riccoboni (I Parte); cerca di restituirne la pratica scenica nella recitazione all’improvviso, in francese, nel canto e nella danza (II Parte); analizza la sua opera (III Parte); studia l’Art du Théâtre (IV Parte). Due volumi di appendici raccolgono documenti d’archivio inediti, il repertorio ragionato e l’edizione delle opere inedite di François

Full textAbstract:
This essay aims to examine the manifestations of physical movement in two paintings by the Swedish modernist Otto G. Carlsund and to show aesthetic similarities to other modernist artists of the 1920s avant-garde. The method applied is Erwin Panofsky's Iconology to interpret the illusions of physical movement as expressions of the same ideas and visions that were conveyed by other artists during the same time in history. The results show that all painters included in this essay strived to communicate through motion in order to advocate for their visions of social change they believed their art could contribute to. The ambition to reform societies is interpreted as expressions of a Gesamtkunstwerk, a totalizing project aimed at all institutions of their day.

This thesis examines the years bracketing the summer of 1876, when Renoir was a resident on the Butte Montmartre and executed the Bal du Moulin de la Galette . The social and historical resonances of Renoir's work during this period are investigated, including his engagement with themes prevalent in French popular lithography and vaudeville theatre. While Bal du Moulin de la Galette is an ubiquitous image of the Impressionist movement, it is little studied as a site of potential symbolic meaning, especially following the period of the Franco-Prussian war and the Commune between 1870-71. Through archival research and a reevaluation of secondary sources a clear relationship is established between Renoir, Republican politics and French literature, particularly the Parnassian movement in poetry.Cette thèse examine les années avant et après de l’été de 1876, quand Renoir habitait sur la Butte Montmartre et a exécuté le Bal du Moulin de la Galette. Ces années dans la carrière de Renoir sont choisi à examiner plus profondément des résonances historiques et sociales de cette oeuvre, y compris l’engagement de Renoir avec les thèmes de la lithographie populaire et les vaudevilles. Tandis que le Bal du Moulin de la Galette est très bien connu dans la contexte de l’impressionnisme, le tableau lui-même est peu étudié comme document de son époque dans la période suivante la Guerre et la Commune entre 1870-71. Au moyen de l’étude des sources archivales et secondaires, un rapport est établi entre Renoir, la politique Républicaine et la littérature fran;aise, particulièrement avec le mouvement parnassien en poésie.

Master of Visual ArtsThis Dissertation explores the metaphor of Ariadne’s thread in terms of interconnection, when an element from the everyday is used as a locus linking broader concepts of time and space. Such experiences and associations are reflected in the work of Louise Bourgeois, Eva Hesse, Doris Salcedo, Lucio Fontana, Richard Tuttle, Mona Hatoum, Simone Mangos, Anya Gallaccio and Yoshihiro Suda. In relation to my own work, the metaphor of interconnecting thread allows a sense of freedom and journey of discovery. My studio and related research are closely aligned in developing my understanding of interconnection, through my studio process of making and continuing experiences of looking at and interpreting others artists’ work.

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo apresentar as contribuições do trabalho de Flávio Sampaio na formação dos alunos do Curso de Licenciatura em Dança, da Universidade Federal de Alagoas, a partir das orientações do Projeto Pedagógico do Curso - PPC. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, exploratória, com observação participativa e análise de discurso. Pensar o ensino do balé sobre bases somáticas e numa perspectiva contemporânea é imprescindível para atender as orientações pedagógicas contidas no PPC. Desenvolvendo uma metodologia de aula que reconfigura alguns conceitos estabelecidos pela tradição do balé, Flávio Sampaio passa ser a principal referência para o estudo do ensino dessa técnica no referido curso. Apoiamo-nos, na obra de Boaventura de Souza Santos, Epistemologias do Sul (2010), que defende uma construção de conhecimentos menos colonizados pelo Norte Global e de novas epistemologias a partir do Sul Global, através de uma ecologia de saberes. O trabalho de Sampaio é entendido aqui como base para um balé ‘do Sul’ e que deve ser reconhecido pela Academia. Afirmamos, ainda, que sua maneira de ensinar o balé pode ser definida como contemporânea, nos moldes do pensamento de Agamben (2009). Os depoimentos dos alunos trazem à tona discursos de corpos que experimentaram a prática e corroboram, assim, para a construção de uma possível reconfiguração do ensino do balé na Universidade.
This current research aims at presenting this dance author’s work contributions in the formation of students in the above stated course, from the PPC orientations. It is an exploratory qualitative research, with participative observation and discourse analysis. Thinking the ballet teaching on the somatic bases and under a contemporary perspective is essential in order to meet the pedagogical guidelines according to the Course Pedagogical Project – PPC, of the Federal University of Alagoas Dance Graduation Degree. By developing a class methodology that reconfigures some concepts stated by the ballet tradition, Flávio Sampaio becomes the main reference for the study of such technique in the mentioned course. We have been supported by Boaventura de Souza Santos’s works, Epistemologies from the South (2010), which defends a knowledge construction less colonized by the Global North and new epistemologies from the Global South through an ecological knowledge. Sampaio’s work is here understood as the basis for a ‘Southern’ ballet and that must be recognized by the Academy. We also state that the way of teaching ballet may be defined as contemporary according to Agamben’s thoughts (2009). The students’ testimonials bring up body discourses that experienced the practice and thus endorsing the construction of a possible reconfiguration of the ballet teaching at the University.

Previous issue date: 2007-05-14The project at hand examines two of the most relevant moments of the Brazilian art of dancing as seen through its reflexes in the media. To attain this objective, we analyzed the corpus constituted by reviews published on the subject of dancing in the two most important daily newspapers of the largest city in the country: São Paulo Folha de São Paulo and O Estado de São Paulo, between the periods of 1975-1980 and 1995-2000. Our survey presents an overview of essential elements in search of connection between art and media in the Brazilian contemporary culture. Our secondary objetive was to focus on responses of the performance of critics. As far as methodology is concerned, our study is based on texts written by authors Flora Sussekind, Adorno, Gerd Borheim, Roberto Schwartz, Davi Arrigucci Jr. among others, proceeding to in-depth analysis of each professional criticism and the general panorama. This study also shows the reflection of time in the art of dancing, as picture of an entire generation, as opposed to only one author. At the same this paper will present a record of the major dancing events in São Paulo, within the periods stated above, as seen through the particular political and economic moment in time of the country. Consequently, perspectives appoint towards the conclusion that reviews and professional criticism of dancing became more relevant with the increase of performances in this art form, as São Paulo turned into the cultural center of the country in the last few decades. There is no way to deny the dialogue between dance and criticism, although not necessarily to the extent suggested by the theories which had been examined. However, definitely, there is a conjunction betwen the art of dancing and professional criticism
Trabalhando com um corpus constituído pela crítica de dança publicada nos jornais Folha de S.Paulo e O Estado de S.Paulo nos períodos 1975-1980 e 1995-2000, este projeto examinou dois momentos relevantes da dança brasileira através dos seus reflexos na mídia. A pesquisa debruça-se sobre elementos da crítica e da cultura em busca das relações entre as artes e os meios de comunicação na cultura brasileira contemporânea. Com isso, tem também por objetivo analisar os reflexos da atuação da crítica. Metodologicamente, o estudo baseou-se em textos críticos de autores como Flora Süssekind, Adorno, Gerd Borheim, Roberto Schwarz, Davi Arrigucci Jr., entre outros, para traçar um panorama da crítica e para transitar entre ele. Também foram importantes as marcas que o tempo deixa ver e podem fazer parte de uma geração, não mais de um autor. Em paralelo, foi realizado um estudo sobre os principais eventos de dança em São Paulo nos referidos períodos, atento à situação política e econômica. Dentro dessas perspectivas, as conclusões apontam que a crítica de dança passou a ter mais peso com a movimentação crescente das montagens de dança nos últimos anos da década de 70 e com a transformação da cidade de São Paulo no principal pólo cultural do País. Não dá para negar que houve um diáologo entre dança e crítica, mesmo sem ter o alcance sugerido pelas teorias estudadas. Há, portanto, uma conjunção entre a dança e a crítica em São Paulo

Full textAbstract:
Dès la fin du XIXe siècle, la Lebensreform (« réforme de vie ») recouvre trois aspects qui sont la modernité (ère industrielle), la crise des valeurs et l'émergence de nouvelles pratiques artistiques, culturelles et sociales dans les pays de l'espace germanophone. La Lebensreform est une réponse aux ruptures de la modernité ; de nouvelles formes de vie collectives voient le jour. Les espaces d'accueil fondent leur propre mode de vie autour du programme d'une réconciliation avec la nature, en adoptant plusieurs réformes de la vie. Parallèlement, l'Inde artistique et spirituelle évolue et influence l'art moderne occidental, d'où l'apparition de passerelles transculturelles. Les artistes de la Lebensreform adoptent de nouveaux modes d'expression corporelle qui s'inspirent de l'art indien (mudrâs, rythme, etc.). Il s'agit dans notre thèse d'aborder l' « esthétique du performatif » ; l’art de la danse moderne devient un mode de communication à part entière, c'est-à-dire un langage non verbal, traité sous l'angle du concept de performatif. L'art moderne, qui se développe dans l'espace germanophone, conduit à une nouvelle quête, celle d'une recherche de sa propre identité à travers l'exploration du mouvementFrom the end of the 19th century, the Lebensreform (Life reform) covers three aspects which are modernity (industrial era), crisis in values, and the emergence of new artistic, cultural and social practices in German-speaking countries. The Lebensreform is a response to the break with modernity; new collective lifestyles are born. Hosting places build their own lifestyle around a program of renewals and reconciliation with nature, adopting several reforms of life. At the same time, artistic and spriritual India evolved and influenced modern Western art from whence grew cross-cultural gateways and bridges. Artists from the Lebensreform adopted new corporal forms of expression inspired by Indian art (mudrâs, rythm, etc.). This thesis concerns itself with the « esthetic performative » with the knowledge that the art of modern dancing, viewed from the angle of the performative concept, may be said to have emerged as a global mode of communication, and a non verbal language. Modern art as developed in German-speaking community has also led to a new quest, a search for our own identity through an exploratory movement

Full textAbstract:
The study focuses on the types of cultural practice that are, in the main, generated by the young people themselves (hereafter referred to as youth generated cultures) who fall within the age group of 14-20 yrs of age. The research was undertaken in the Western Sydney region, which is the largest expanding population in Australia, and is regularly defined as a socio-economically disadvantaged region, therefore, an important factor within this study is the issue of class determinants. The paper explores the youth generated cultural practice of graffiti, skateboarding, street machining, and street dancing. These creative practices challenge traditional notions of culture and the arts, however the young people also employ strategies of an aesthetic nature in their creative process. Youth generated cultures are actively engaged in criticism through the use of instrumentalist aesthetics such as Monroe Beardsley describes. The thesis proposes that youth generated cultures have, in a united and structured manner, provided for themselves a framework of economic and pedagogical support that has afforded them a place within the cultural mainstream without the recognition or approval of mainstream cultural establishments. It is argued that these particular youth generated cultures are not rebellious or destructive subcultures, that they are creative in nature and have been established primarily to produce and display their creative cultures. Youth agency is essential to the character of these youth generated cultures and it is this agency that is under challenge from the cultural hegemony. The young people involved in youth generated cultures demand that any account of their cultural practice must also accept the agency of youth as fundamental to their cultural status.

Les avancées technologiques, principalement au niveau des télécommunications, interrogent les formes de relation et les transferts d’informations dans le monde actuel. La danse contemporaine, affectée par l’usage des technologies sur la scène (image vidéo, internet, logiciel), voit se modifier les manières de chorégraphier. Si les éléments de base de la création chorégraphique, à savoir le corps dansant, l’espace scénique et le temps de la danse, sont transgressés par l’usage des technologies de la télécommunication (téléprésence), comment les chorégraphes pensent-ils et écrivent-ils la danse en incluant ces nouveaux paramètres ? Que peut perdre ou gagner la danse ? Assistons-nous à l’éveil d’une nouvelle danse, ou à l’émergence d’un autre art ? La redéfinition du corps dansant, en interaction avec son espace et son temps, se trouve au centre de cette recherche. Un projet pratique sous forme d’un laboratoire de création chorégraphique multidisciplinaire, Seuil-Lab, est proposé comme méthodologie de travail pour l’analyse théorique de cette rechercheTechnological advances, especially in telecommunications, call into question relationship modes and information transfers in today’s world. Contemporary dance has been affected by the use of technologies on stage (image, video, internet, software), which has modified choreographic practices. If the basic elements of choreographic creation - namely the dancing body, scenic space and dance time – are infringed upon by the use of technology and telecommunication (telepresence), how can choreographers think and write including these new parameters ? What can dance gain or lose ? Are we witnessing the dawn of a new dance, or the surfacing of a new art ? The redefinition of the dancing body, which interacts with its space and time, is at the core of this research. As a working methodology for the theoretical analysis of this research, we propose Seuil-Lab, a hands-on project in the form of a multidisciplinary choreographic creation lab

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates possible connections between the music of Erik Satie (1866-1925) and the later surrealist movement, turning to Parade (1917) in a case study that seeks to understand surrealism in music through the idea of self-exploration, a well-established interpretive approach in studies of surrealism in the visual arts. This thesis seeks to redefine surrealism in music not as a set of concrete musical characteristics, but as a collection of techniques meant to evoke subconscious turbulence by blurring the boundary between the "outside" and "inside," between conscious and subconscious, leading to a new discovery of higher or deeper truth. Satie's music aligns with the psychoanalytic elements of the discourse on surrealism. Psychoanalysis, pioneered by Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) and his followers in the 1890s in Vienna, permeated France around the time of the creation of the work. It inspired early surrealist techniques like automatism, illusory formal structures, collage, and stylistic allusion. This thesis demonstrates that such techniques can be discerned throughout Parade, not only in Satie's music, but also in its scenario, staging, costumes, and choreography. As such, Parade was a foundational work for the surrealist movement, with Satie's music contributing with the other media equally to the emotional and psychological impact of the ballet.

Full textAbstract:
Ausgehend von Oskar Schlemmers (1888-1943) Bauhaus-Signet aus dem Jahr 1923 analysiert diese Arbeit den Zusammenhang zwischen Mensch und Raum im Œuvre des Bauhaus-Meisters. Die bei Betrachtung des Signets aufkommende These, Mensch und Raum – die zwei tradierten Pole des Schaffens Schlemmers – bedingten sich gegenseitig, wird untersucht, hinterfragt und um die Kategorie der Kunstfigur erweitert.
Das erste Kapitel beleuchtet den Menschen als Maß aller Dinge. Der angestrebte Typus entsteht einerseits über Schlemmers Analyse des menschlichen Körpers mittels tradierter Proportionsstudien und Geometrisierung, die zu einer zumindest scheinbaren Berechenbarkeit führen. Betrachtet werden hierbei die Ausführungen Leonardo da Vincis, Albrecht Dürers und Adolf Zeisings. Andererseits nutzt Schlemmer die physiognomischen Überlegungen Richarda Huchs und Carl Gustav Carus‘ für seine Zwecke der Darstellung einer Entindividualisierung des Menschen.
Hierauf aufbauend befasst sich das zweite Kapitel mit dem Raum. Es zeigt, dass Schlemmers Überlegungen zu theoretischem und gebautem Raum ihren Ursprung in Albert Einsteins Relativitätstheorie nehmen und von Debatten am Bauhaus genährt werden: Schlemmer betrachtet den Raum als wandelbar und abhängig vom Menschen, was unter anderem durch eigene Schriften und den einzig überlieferten Architekturentwurf Schlemmers gefestigt wird.
Zur Untersuchung einer umgekehrten Einflussnahme des Raumes auf den menschlichen Körper erweitert das dritte Kapitel die zwei tradierten Pole des Schlemmer’schen Œuvres um einen weiteren: die Kunstfigur. Diese, so belegt das Kapitel, generiert ihre eigene Körperlichkeit über den Einfluss des veränderlichen Raumes, darüber hinaus aber auch durch die Abstrahierung des zugrundeliegenden menschlichen Körpers mittels des Kostüms und der Maske. Über diese beiden wiederum vollzieht sich auch eine Wandlung des Menschen.Taking the Bauhaus signet, designed by Oskar Schlemmer in 1923, as a starting point, the present thesis examines the relationship between man and space – the two consistently named poles of Schlemmer’s work – within the œuvre of the Bauhaus master. It analyzes, questions and expands the assumption, at first glance suggested by the signet, that space and man are mutually dependent: The first chapter deals with man as the measure of all things. The type pursued by Schlemmer results, on the one hand, from his analysis of man via proportion and geometric studies by Leonardo da Vinci, Albrecht Dürer and Adolf Zeising that lead to a certain calculability. On the other hand, Schlemmer uses physiognomic ideas of Richarda Huch and Carl Gustav Carus to depict a certain de-individualization. Based on the results of the first chapter, the second chapter deals with questions of space. It shows that Schlemmer’s considerations of theoretical space and architecture stem from Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity and are fed by Bauhaus debates on that same topic: Schlemmer regards space and architecture as subject to change and dependent on man; this theory is also strengthened by his writings and his only surviving architectural design. To examine the reverse influence of space on the human body, the third chapter adds the Kunstfigur (art figure) as another category to the established two poles of Schlemmer’s œuvre discussed in the literature: man and space. The chapter proves that the Kunstfigur generates its own corporeality through the influence of space, which is modifiable by movement. Besides that, said corporeality is also determined by an abstraction, in turn caused by costumes and masks. These items also influence the outer appearance of man.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an investigation of the complex processes and relationships between the physical human performer and the technologically manufactured cyber-human counterpart. I acted as both researcher and the physical human performer, deeply engaged in the moment-to-moment creation of events unfolding within a shared virtual reality environment. As the primary instigator and activator of the cyber-human partner, I maintained a balance between the live and technological performance elements, prioritizing the production of content and meaning. By way of using practice as research, this thesis argues that in considering interactions between cyber-human and human performers, it is crucial to move beyond discussions of technology when considering interactions between cyber-humans and human performers to an analysis of emotional content, the powers of poetic imagery, the trust that is developed through sensory perception and the evocation of complex relationships. A theoretical model is constructed to describe the relationship between a cyber-human and a human performer in the five works created specifically for this thesis, which is not substantially different from that between human performers. Technological exploration allows for the observation and analysis of various relationships, furthering an expanded understanding of ‘movement as content’ beyond the electronic connection. Each of the works created for this research used new and innovative technologies, including virtual reality, multiple interactive systems, six generations of wearable computers, motion capture technology, high-end digital lighting projectors, various projection screens, smart electronically charged fabrics, multiple sensory sensitive devices and intelligent sensory charged alternative performance spaces. They were most often collaboratively created in order to augment all aspects of the performance and create the sense of community found in digital live dance performances/events. These works are identified as one continuous line of energy and discovery, each representing a slight variation on the premise that a working, caring, visceral and poetic content occurs beyond the technological tools. Consequently, a shift in the physical human’s psyche overwhelms the act of performance. Scholarship and reflection on the works have been integral to my creative process throughout. The goals of this thesis, the works created and the resulting methodologies are to investigate performance to heighten the multiple ways we experience and interact with the world. This maximizes connection and results in a highly interactive, improvisational, dynamic, non-linear, immediate, accessible, agential, reciprocal, emotional, visceral and transformative experience without boundaries between the virtual and physical for physical humans, cyborgs and cyber-humans alike.

Schwall, Elizabeth Bowlsby. "Dancing with the Revolution: Cuban Dance, State, and Nation, 1930-1990." Thesis, 2016. https://doi.org/10.7916/D8GM879J.
Full textAbstract:
Against the backdrop of the 1933 and 1959 Cuban Revolutions, dance became highly politicized as performers interacted with the state and expressed ideas choreographically about race, gender, and social change. Starting in the 1930s, citizens invested in ballet as a means for cultural progress. In the 1940s and 1950s, a growing cadre of ballet professionals and their supporters advocated for the government to subsidize the form. Simultaneously, carnival, cabaret, and concert dancers sparked widespread discussion about nation and racial formation, specifically the place of blackness and whiteness in Cuba. As a result, performers and patrons established the political valence of dance as means for reflecting on larger questions about self and society.
After 1959, dancers adapted to the regime change while pursuing longstanding projects. Ballet dancers performed aggressive choreography in fatigues, along with traditional ballets from Europe and Russia, as part of their revolutionary repertoire. Dance teachers built upon previous pedagogical efforts and contributed to new social engineering projects to “improve” Cuban youth. In parallel, modern and folkloric dancers choreographically critiqued patriarchy and race relations in a supposedly post-racial society. These performances developed a Cuban way of dancing and watching dance, the latter characterized as engaged and talkative. Dancers and publics built a vibrant establishment that eventually transcended national borders with Cubans dancing and teaching abroad in the 1970s and 1980s. Meanwhile, dancers contributed to the growing tourist industry and pushed for institutional changes at home in the late 1980s. In 1990, Cuba entered a crisis that destabilized the relationship between dance and politics that had developed over the previous six decades.
During this period, different dance forms including cabaret, carnival, ballet, modern dance, and folkloric dance received various levels of public and state support. I argue that there were important continuities in dance hierarchies with ballet holding the greatest cultural and political capital starting in the 1930s. I also contend that dancers of different genres employed similar tactics to navigate sociopolitical shifts and expressive parameters across the decades. They consistently shaped dance institutions and asserted the value of their work to revolution and nationhood. This social and cultural history of Cuban dance sheds light on the reach and limitations of state power in Cuba as numerous constituencies engaged with the revolution, maneuvering for agency within a limited public sphere.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the ballet teaching behaviors for dancing teachers. The subjects were three ballet teachers who taught dancing classes for the 2nd grade students from three dancing classes from junior high schools from Taipei City and Taipei County. As for the methodology: both qualitative and quantitative approaches were employed, including observatory systems, teaching observation inventories, interviews, and video monitoring, etc. After statistical and analytic tasks, we had the following conclusions: I. The time allocation of teaching behaviors for the dancing teachers were understood: (I) Organization: 15.04% for Subject A, 7.09% for Subject B, and 6.13% for Subject C. And time for equipment management and usage: 5.2% for Subject A, 2.14% for Subject B, and 3.95% for Subject C. (II) Teaching: 31.44% for Subject A, 24.93% for Subject B, and 29.63% for Subject C. Time allocation for rule instruction: 0% for Subject A, 0.05% for Subject B, and 0.72% for Subject C. (III) Supervision: 51.42% for Subject A, 65.31% for Subject B, and 58.15% for Subject C. Specific field supervision time allocation: 32.48% for Subject A, 39.13% for Subject B, and 38.07% for Subject C. II. Feedback employment in teaching behaviors (I) Modified feedback time allocation: 47.97% for Subject A, 57.61% for Subject B, and 52.83% for Subject C. Negative feedback: 45.49% for Subject A, 44.17% for Subject B, and 51.12% for Subject C. (II) General Feedback time allocation: 43.72% for Subject A, 23.08% for Subject B, and 16.21% for Subject C. Negative feedback: 33.52% for Subject A, 18.76% for Subject B, and 12.84% for Subject C. (III) Non-verbal feedback time allocation: 8.31% for Subject A, 19.31% for Subject B, and 30.97% for Subject C. Negative non-verbal feedback: 7.44% for Subject A, 18.01% for Subject B, and 30.10% for Subject C. III. Episode employment in dance teaching (I) Teaching episode: the average minute/time: 1.95 for Subject A, 1.65 for Subject B, and 1.5 for Subject C. (II) Teacher movement: the average time/minute: 1.08 for Subject A, 1.5 for Subject B, and 2.33 for Subject C. IV. Dancing teachers’ effective teaching behaviors (I) Teaching preparation: little difference was observed amongthe subjects: 4.17 for Subject A, 4.67 for Subject B, and 4.0 for Subject C. (II) Teaching design: little difference was observed among the subjects: 3.72 for Subject A, 3.86 for Subject B, and 3.86 for Subject C. (III) Teaching behavior: little difference was observed among the subjects: 3.70 for Subject A, 4.10 for Subject B, and 3.86 for Subject C. (IV) Feedback behavior: there was difference among the subjects: 3.0 for Subject A, 4.0 for Subject B, and 4.0 for Subject C. (V) Students’ learning and responses: there was difference among the subjects: 2.84 for Subject A, 3.0 for Subject B, and 4.0 for Subject C.
