Abstract:

<p>This Masters thesis implements a multiple paired models architecture that is used to control a simulated robot. The architecture consists of several modules. Each module holds a paired forward/inverse model. The inverse model takes as input the current and desired state of the system, and outputs motor commands that will achieve the desired state. The forward model takes as input the current state and the motor commands acting on the environment, and outputs the predicted next state. The models are paired, due to the fact that the output of the inverse model is fed into the forward model.

This chapter includes both the revised proposal for the concert shared between Melissa Teodoro and myself, Dancing Voices, and the revised proposal for my MFA thesis piece, The smallest unit of meaning. In an earlier version of this proposal, submitted in the Spring 2002 semester, the working title of my MFA thesis piece was Syllables. The change of title reflects the changes in the choreographic process, caused by a delay in the completion of the original score commissioned for the piece. These changes will be discussed in detail in chapter II.<br>vii, 41 leaves

Abstract:

This MFA concert will be shared between Ana Paula Hofling and Melissa Teodoro. Our idea is to have a concert that showcases our choreographic work, old and new, in a cohesive concert that is more than a collage of unrelated dances. We have chosen the title "Dancing Voices" because of our interest in working with the spoken word, both in past works and new works. The concert will be divided into two parts, one featuring each of our 15-minute pieces, created to satisfy the MFA degree requirement, and the other will feature reconstructions and restagings of older pieces (some of them revised or e

Abstract:

This thesis studies materiality in the context of contemporary outdoor dance practices in the natural environment. The more particular territory of this research is comprised of receptivity-, materiality- and/or exposure-based practices, influenced predominantly by the international lineages of Amerta Movement and postmodern dance. This territory is understood to be a relevant niche domain that is relatively uncharted and particularly informative regarding questions of materiality. The practitioners that this study turns to are mostly located in the UK, but also in Germany. The key influence o

Abstract:

This thesis investigates representations of dancing women in three postmodern novels, arguing that their radical revisions of traditional texts offer readers steps to be taken in the future. Resistant and troublesome dances are deployed here to address feminisms, multiple and contradictory subjectivities and intertextuality. I suggest that a consideration of a nuanced view of multiple subjectivities can benefit women more than striving towards an illusory, autonomous identity. Intertextuality invites contemplation of the dance between different texts and the meanings invoked as a result. Not o

Abstract:

Within popular culture we have recently witnessed a proliferation of male dancers. This has been spear-headed by the success of the BBC television program Strictly Come Dancing. The current cultural fascination with dance provides a stark contrast to traditional discourses in England that position dance as a female activity, with men’s participation frequently associated with homophobic stigma. We therefore have a context in which multiple and contradictory discourses on masculinity are available for men to make sense of themselves. This thesis explores how young men negotiate these discourses

This is an analysis of how young Latino men and their female dance partners communicate their romantic intentions while dancing, or perhaps through dancing. I find that apparent ethnic and class distinctions and levels of romantic interest affect the way these people dance, especially in three key indices of romantic intentions: eye contact, hand placement, and hip position. Because these intentions are culturally unspeakable in this context, talk is important mostly for its non-referential effects.

Radiohead's capability to release an album and let the fans decide its worth relied on the image they built, which foregrounded their commodification.

Contraction dances have been seen as 'unnatural' since the contemporary dance focus shifted - especially in Europe - towards release-based dance forms, of continuous rather than 'free' flow, based on somatic and anatomical knowledge. In the modern dance period, however, contraction proved productive in creating radical shifts of form in the case of Martha Graham and Merce Cunningham. In this research, the dancing contraction is redefined to characterize muscular tension and used to visually distort bodily forms.

The starting point for this interpretive study of Jonathan Burrows's (b 1960) choreography is the limited and fragmentary existing literature on his work.

In this thesis I interrogate the distinctiveness of his performances, arguing that they challenge conventions of co-existing dance genres and techniques, by employing a variety of disciplinary, cultural and theoretical contexts.
