Download or read book Motion and Representation written by Nicolas Salazar Sutil and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of the ways human movement can be represented as a formal language and how this language can be mediated technologically. In Motion and Representation, Nicolás Salazar Sutil considers the representation of human motion through languages of movement and technological mediation. He argues that technology transforms the representation of movement and that representation in turn transforms the way we move and what we understand to be movement. Humans communicate through movement, physically and mentally. To record and capture integrated movement (both bodily and mental), by means of formal language and technological media, produces a material record and cultural expression of our evolving kinetic minds and identities. Salazar Sutil considers three forms of movement inscription: a written record (notation), a visual record (animation), and a computational record (motion capture). He focuses on what he calls kinetic formalism—formalized movement in such pursuits as dance, sports, live animation, and kinetic art, as well as abstract definitions of movement in mathematics and computer science. He explores the representation of kinetic space and spatiotemporality; the representation of mental plans of movement; movement notation, including stave notation (Labanotation) and such contemporary forms of notation as Choreographic Language Agent; and the impact of digital technology on contemporary representations of movement—in particular motion capture technology and Internet transfer protocols. Motion and Representation offers a unique cultural theory of movement and of the ever-changing ways of representing movement.

Book excerpt: "'Irmgard Bartenieff has a profound knowledge of the human body and how it moves. I am delighted that this will now be made available to many more people.'." -- George Balanchine of Director, New York City Ballet "'Irmgard Bartenieff's pioneering work in the multiple applications of Labananalysis has had a transforming influence on many areas of movement training. Her careful and detailed development of the spatial principles into active corrective work has illuminated and altered the training of people as varied as dancers, choreographers, physical therapists, movement and dance therapists, and psychotherapists. Anthropologists and non-verbal communication researchers have found their world view necessarily altered by her fundamental innovations. The field of body/mind work will need to adapt to include her clear working through of basic principles.'." -- Kayla Kazahn Zalk of President, American Dance Guild
Download or read book Waltzing Through Europe Attitudes towards Couple Dances in the Long Nineteenth Century written by Egil Bakka and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2020-09-10 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From ‘folk devils’ to ballroom dancers, Waltzing Through Europe explores the changing reception of fashionable couple dances in Europe from the eighteenth century onwards. A refreshing intervention in dance studies, this book brings together elements of historiography, cultural memory, folklore, and dance across comparatively narrow but markedly heterogeneous localities. Rooted in investigations of often newly discovered primary sources, the essays afford many opportunities to compare sociocultural and political reactions to the arrival and practice of popular rotating couple dances, such as the Waltz and the Polka. Leading contributors provide a transnational and affective lens onto strikingly diverse topics, ranging from the evolution of romantic couple dances in Croatia, and Strauss’s visits to Hamburg and Altona in the 1830s, to dance as a tool of cultural preservation and expression in twentieth-century Finland. Waltzing Through Europe creates openings for fresh collaborations in dance historiography and cultural history across fields and genres. It is essential reading for researchers of dance in central and northern Europe, while also appealing to the general reader who wants to learn more about the vibrant histories of these familiar dance forms.

This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Grammar of the Art of Dancing, Theoretical and Practical: Lessons in the Arts of Dancing and Dance Writing (Choregraphy); With Drawings, Musical Examples, Choregraphic Symbols and Special Music Scores At the Convention of the American National Association of Masters of Dancing held at Columbus, Ohio, June 12-17, 1905, the dedication of this edition of the Grammar was accepted and the work adopted as the standard of authority. The resolution also strongly recommends the book as a text-book for students and teachers. The Appendix, which relates to deportment, has been purposely omitted for the reason that, while it is the duty of teachers of dancing to pay some attention to that subject in the course of their instruction, it does not in itself, technically, form a part of the art of dancing. Again, rules of deportment are largely local in their application and of too transient a nature to be of authority after a lapse of twenty years. Social customs are, for the most part, creatures of fashion, and fashion is too fickle a goddess to submit to the tyranny of settled rules. Herr Zorn himself expresses the belief that persons who contemplate teaching dancing will get more practical ideas regarding deportment from their experience as teachers than it would be possible to obtain from any book. And now having set forth the principal points of this edition and the fact that it has been prepared to supply a great and increasing demand, the Editor wishes, in conclusion, to register the hope that the movement toward abandoning the use of French technical terms will be given up. These terms now form the only common ground upon which the dancing profession of the world can meet, and to discontinue them would be to indefinitely postpone the date of a possible Universal Academy. Let us not only learn these terms which have acquired such important technical significance, but let us use them. Of course there is no call for a pedantic display of them in teaching social dances, and such a use of them would be in poor taste, but it would be a distorted allegiance to the mother tongue to so far overlook our manifest advantages as to insist upon the substitution of our own language for terms that have for centuries been accepted without cavil by other nations who do not speak French.
