Book excerpt: Excerpt from Natural Rhythms and Dances The satisfaction of human wants is the most important business of the world when judged by the activity of men and women everywhere. Contrariwise the education and training of people to want that which is good is infinitely more worth while. Without pausing to define the good it may be suggested that men would gain greatly by preservation and restoration of the essentials of a simple environment - pure air, open spaces, Opportunity for physical activity, less of commercialized recreation and more of simple social life corrected by artistic and educational criteria.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rhythmic Dance Book This book is written in response to numer ous requests I have received, both in England and America, for a textbook of my work in which ideas should be conveyed rather than rules formulated. I recognize that the need is felt, because, although there are many works dealing with natural dancing in various forms, the practical combination of movement, music and story which I have developed and venture to submit, difi'ers largely from other schemes, and will, I hope, help teachers to make Rhythmic Dancing, as I call it, a joy to girls of all ages from one end of Society to the other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dancing, Ancient and Modern All nature teaches rhythm, which manifests itself in the waves and tides, in the vibrations of light and sound, in the harmonious move ments Of the heavenly spheres and when man began to try to express his feelings by the rhythmic movements Of his body, he was merely taking his part in the everlasting Dance of the Universe. It is perhaps difficult to realise that dancing, as an outlet of emotion, is prior to music - that in fact, the first music was composed or ex temporised in order to accompany dancing yet the origin of many of our oldest musical terms shows that this is the case.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Folk Dancing The first essential for a successful folk dancing experience lies in the teacher him self. He must -be enthusiastic and sympathetic. He must be tolerant and patient with those who are slow to learn, for occasionally an individual feels he has no sense of rhythm and is discouraged because he does not enjoy the dances. It is the teacher's task to develop, not a sense of rhythm - for every normal human being has that - but the mus cular coordination necessary to express the rhythm. Everyone responds to rhythm, though the response for some persons is only within. There are many ways to help the individual develop a muscular response to rhythm. He may dance with the teacher or with a student who dances well so that wrong patterns do not become fixed. He may be given special instruction, at which time steps may be taken Slowly until the patterns become learned, then gradually increased until the dance is done in the correct tempo. The teacher Should give as much individual instruction as possible at the beginning of the folk dance unit in order that Slow learners may keep up with the group and not become discouraged. Each teacher will develop his own individual technique for presenting a dance, for starting the musician and the dancers. One much used way to Start the dance is to say, Ready with the music - and. Simultaneously with the word and the accompanist and the dancers begin the dance. Inaccuracy in rhythmic response results if dancers are Slow in beginning the first Step because they wait to hear the first notes before starting the dance. Some music is arranged in such a way that there 13 an anacrusis, a pick up note. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature Dancing: The Poetry of Motion But it is a blissful state to be reached only after training. No figure must be improvised on the spur of the mo ment; the dance, however unconventional and full ot'un restrained joy it may appear to the spectator, must be carefully studied and thought out beforehand, for only in that way can it escape amateurish futility and rise to the domain of real art. Just as the training of the Russian ballet afforded Serova the' technical groundwork of her art so the vase paintings of ancient Greece were her inspiration in work ing out the idea of the Nature Dance which she thinks particularly adapted to the needs of the American public.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rhythm, Music and Education Twenty-five years ago I made my debut in pedagogy, as Professor of Harmony at the Conservatoire of Geneva. After the first few lessons, I noticed that the ears of my pupils were not able to appreciate the chords which they had to write, and I concluded that the flaw in the conventional method of training is that pupils are not given experience of chords at the beginning of their studies - when brain and body are developing along parallel lines, the one constantly communicating its impressions and sensations to the other - but that this experience is withheld until the time arrives to express the results in writing. Accordingly I decided to precede my lessons in written harmony by special exercises of a physiological nature aimed at developing the hearing faculties, and I was not long in discovering that, while with older students acoustic sensations were hindered by futile intellectual preconceptions, children appreciated them quite spontaneously, proceeding in due course quite naturally to their analysis.

Download or read book The Body of the People written by Jens Richard Giersdorf and published by University of Wisconsin Pres. This book was released on 2013-05-15 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Body of the People is the first comprehensive study of dance and choreography in East Germany. More than twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Jens Richard Giersdorf investigates a national dance history in the German Democratic Republic, from its founding as a Communist state that supplanted the Soviet zone of occupation in 1949 through the aftermath of its collapse forty years later, examining complex themes of nationhood, ideology, resistance, and diaspora through an innovative mix of archival research, critical theory, personal narrative, and performance analysis. Giersdorf looks closely at uniquely East German dance forms—including mass exercise events, national folk dances, Marxist-Leninist visions staged by the dance ensemble of the armed forces, the vast amateur dance culture, East Germany’s version of Tanztheater, and socialist alternatives to rock ‘n’ roll—to demonstrate how dance was used both as a form of corporeal utopia and of embodied socialist propaganda and indoctrination. The Body of the People also explores the artists working in the shadow of official culture who used dance and movement to critique and resist state power, notably Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, Arila Siegert, and Fine Kwiatkowski. Giersdorf considers a myriad of embodied responses to the Communist state even after reunification, analyzing the embodiment of the fall of the Berlin Wall in the works of Jo Fabian and Sasha Waltz, and the diasporic traces of East German culture abroad, exemplified by the Chilean choreographer Patricio Bunster.
Download or read book Dramatic Dances for Small Children Classic Reprint written by Mary Severance Shafter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-20 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dramatic Dances for Small Children These little pantomime dances were composed in answer to what seemed to me a very real demand on both children and teachers' part. Folk dancing, while it fills a very important place in the gymnasium, is, for the most part, for older children. Personally, I have found a woeful lack of material for the little tots of four, five, six and seven, which the teacher, especially the young, inexperienced teacher who has had no previous experience, can use. Little children between the ages of four and seven cannot remember complicated evolutions, nor if they could would they be interested in them. In fact, they will not be interested for any length of time in dancing figures, unless there is some story connecting them. There is no more natural actor in the world than the small child. He imitates everything he sees the conductor collecting transfers on the street-cars the post man delivering letters the planting of vines the sowing of seed the harvesting. Every child of normal bringing up has, as a part of his birthright, the Mother Goose rhymes, and the beloved stories, Henny Penny, Goldilocks, and The Little Red Hen. He learns them at his mother's knee, and in his little Primary Readers he hears them again. They are part of him, so what more natural than that when he goes to his dancing he should enact his favorites? There is nothing new to learn when he sings an old favorite from Mother Goose. He is amongst old friends when he dramatizes the duck and the goose in The Little Red Hen, and all the time unconsciously he is learning rhythm, co-ordination and self. Expression in the most delightful way in the world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Bodies of Sound written by Susan C. Cook and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the ragtime one-step of the early twentieth century to the contemporary practices of youth club cultures, popular dance and music are inextricably linked. This collection reveals the intimate connections between the corporeal and the sonic in the creation, transmission and reception of popular dance and music, which is imagined here as ’bodies of sound’. The volume provokes a wide-ranging, interdisciplinary conversation that includes scholarship from Asia, Europe and the United States, which explores topics from the nineteenth century through to the present day and engages with practices at local, national and transnational levels. In Part I: Constructing the Popular, the authors explore how categories of popular music and dance are constructed and de-stabilized, and their proclivity to appropriate and re-imagine cultural forms and meanings. In Part II: Authenticity, Revival and Reinvention, the authors examine how popular forms produce and manipulate identities and meanings through their attraction to and departure from cultural traditions. In Part III: (Re)Framing Value, the authors interrogate how values are inscribed, silenced, rearticulated and capitalized through popular music and dance. And in Part IV: Politics of the Popular, the authors read the popular as a site of political negotiation and transformation.
