Download or read book The Dance in Ancient Greece written by Lillian Beatrice Lawler and published by Wesleyan. This book was released on 1965 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents an academic yet non-technical introduction and overview of ancient Greek dance. Dance was very important to the ancient Greeks, associated with music, verse, and the theatre. Processions, games, and performances involving dance were popular and widespread in Greek culture. Lawler lists seven types of sources for her work: literary, metrical, musical, archaeological, epigraphical, linguistic, and anthropological, and explores the forms, occasions, and participants involved with ancient Greek dances. Literary sources are numerous and rich and Lawler suggests reading them will give more insights into ancient Greek dance. Metrical sources include actual treatises on metrics as well as actual lines of verse used for dance. Much of the metrical material is fragmentary, while musical sources include discussions of music by writers as well as mostly fragmentary musical remains.

Download or read book Attractive Performances written by F. G Naerebout and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-07-17 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is not another history of the dance in ancient Greece, but wants to lay the groundwork on which such a history should properly be build. The three preliminary studies offered here are, first, an extensive historiography of the subject which seeks to illuminate where we stand at present in reference to the large amount of work done on ancient Greek dance for the past 500 years. Secondly, an exercise in source criticism, embracing both texts and imagery, in order to establish the limits to which we can push any investigation, and thirdly, an attempt at model building to provide an explicit theoretical framework for future research. This is the first time that some of the approaches of the new dance scholarship which has arisen during the past few decades have been systematically applied to the dancing of the ancient world.
Download or read book Choral Constructions in Greek Culture written by Deborah Tarn Steiner and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-22 with total page 785 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did the Greeks of the archaic and early Classical period join in choruses that sang and danced on public and private occasions? This book offers a wide-ranging exploration of representations of chorality in the poetry, art and material remains of early Greece in order to demonstrate the centrality of the activity in the social, religious and technological practices of individuals and communities. Moving from a consideration of choral archetypes, among them cauldrons, columns, Gorgons, ships and halcyons, the discussion then turns to an investigation of how participation in choral song and dance shaped communal experience and interacted with a variety of disparate spheres that include weaving, cataloguing, temple architecture and inscribing. The study ends with a treatment of the role of choral activity in generating epiphanies and allowing viewers and participants access to realms that typically lie beyond their perception.

Frangos, Stathis Gauntlett, Joseph G. Graziosi, Gail Holst-Warhaft, Michael G. Kaloyanides, Panayotis League, Roderick Conway Morris, National Endowment for the Arts/National Heritage Fellows, Nick Pappas, Meletios Pouliopoulos, Anthony Shay, David Soffa, Dick Spottswood, Jim Stoynoff, and Anna Lomax Wood Despite a substantial artistic legacy, there has never been a book devoted to Greek music in America until now. Those seeking to learn about this vibrant and exciting music were forced to seek out individual essays, often published in obscure or ephemeral sources. This volume provides a singular platform for understanding the scope, practice, and development of Greek music in America through essays and profiles written by principal scholars in the field. Greece developed a rich variety of traditional, popular, and art music that diasporic Greeks brought with them to America. In Greek American communities, music was and continues to be an essential component of most social activities. Music links the past to the present, the distant to the near, and bonds the community with an embrace of memories and narrative. From 1896 to 1942, more than a thousand Greek recordings in many genres were made in the United States, and thousands more have appeared since then. These encompass not only Greek traditional music from all regions, but also emerging urban genres, stylistic changes, and new songs of social commentary. Greek Music in America includes essays on all of these topics as well as history and genre, places and venues, the recording business, and profiles of individual musicians. This book is required reading for anyone who cares about Greek music in America, whether scholar, fan, or performer.
Download or read book Dances of Greece written by Domini Crosfield and published by Noverre Press. This book was released on 2021-01-04 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Greece, folk dancing can boast a longer and less interrupted descent than in any other country. If we look at the ancient vase-paintings and bas-reliefs, we find that the poise, the steps and motions are very similar to those in use today. The long years of Turkish rule could not quench the flames of Greek national pride, and this flame still burns bright. The Klephs, the guerilla warriors of the mountains, who were a thorn in the flesh of the Turkish overlords, had their own dances, and Greek dancing is still of a predominantly warlike character. For those who would essay these dances themselves, detailed step notations are provided, together with music; and four charming colour plates show the correct costumes to go with the dances.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At publication date, a free ebook version of this title will be available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. Revolutionary Bodies is the first English-language primary source–based history of concert dance in the People’s Republic of China. Combining over a decade of ethnographic and archival research, Emily Wilcox analyzes major dance works by Chinese choreographers staged over an eighty-year period from 1935 to 2015. Using previously unexamined film footage, photographic documentation, performance programs, and other historical and contemporary sources, Wilcox challenges the commonly accepted view that Soviet-inspired revolutionary ballets are the primary legacy of the socialist era in China’s dance field. The digital edition of this title includes nineteen embedded videos of selected dance works discussed by the author.
