abstract: ABSTRACT This narrative study traces the development of a dance curriculum as it unfolded in an inner city public school. It examines the curriculum emergence through intersecting worlds of artistic practice, improvisation, lived experience and context. These worlds were organized and explored through themes of gender, emotion, longing and intersections and examined through lenses of critical theory, aesthetics and currere. It examines the interior dialogue within one individual educator who is both a dance artist and a teacher and reflects the differing and at times conflicting perspectives within those two positions. The curriculum acquired the name "curriculum by accident" because several highly unexpected events contributed to its development. The students were initially suspicious and hostile and presented significant resistance to classical dance as an artistic form. This resistance was circumvented through creative process and improvisation. The act of improvisation became both a way to approach teaching and curriculum development and as an artistic process. Improvisation courts chance, the unplanned and the accidental through a structure in which the unknown is as valued as the known. The school setting is one full of known subjects; curriculum, settings, procedures, people and expectations. Curriculum by accident was a circumstance in which a known (school) and an unknown (the evolving curriculum) melded. The development of curriculum by accident was a response to an array of intuitive and serendipitous cues. The curriculum seeped through the cracks of school experience and transmuted into a curriculum that was very successful. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Curriculum and Instruction 2010

Les processus métier des organisations deviennent de plus en plus complexes et dépendent souvent des processus et des services fournis par d'autres organisations. Le terme processus inter-organisationnel apparaît pour décrire un processus qui franchit les frontières de l'organisation intégrant un ensemble de processus avec un but commun. Du point de vue technique, les organisations mettent en place leurs processus internes sous la forme d'orchestrations de services techniques. Pour permettre à ces derniers d'interagir, il est essentiel d'établir les règles de communication afin de promouvoir une compréhension commune entre les services participants ainsi que de garantir leur interopérabilité. Dans ce cadre apparait le concept de chorégraphie de services. Une chorégraphie est un contrat métier décrivant l'ordre et la manière d'interagir des différents services visant un but commun. La vision globale donnée par la chorégraphie complète la vision locale donnée par les orchestrations. Notre travail a pour objectif de comprendre et exploiter le concept de chorégraphie en considérant le niveau intentionnel (les objectifs), le niveau organisationnel souvent capturés par des modèles graphiques et le niveau opérationnel centré sur les détails techniques. Pour cela, nous proposons une démarche d'amélioration continue en se focalisant sur les phases de conception et de diagnostic. Nous nous appuyons sur les modèles pour mieux comprendre, construire, analyser et maîtriser la complexité des chorégraphies. / Organizations' business processes become increasingly complex and often depend on processes and services provided by other organizations. The term inter-organizational process appears to describe a process that goes beyond an organization's boundaries and integrates a set of processes with a common goal. From a technical point of view, organizations implement their internal processes as service orchestrations. To enable them to interact, it is essential to establish communication protocols to promote a common understanding among the participating services as well as ensuring their interoperability. In this context the service choreography concept appears. Choreography refers to a business contract describing the way business participants with a common goal coordinate their interactions. The overall point of view given by choreographies complements the local point of view given by orchestrations. Our work aims to understand and study the concept of choreography where we consider the intentional level (goals), the organizational level which is often captured by graphical models and the operational level that is focused on technical details. To do so, we propose a continuous improvement approach focusing on the design and diagnosis phases. We rely on models to better understand, build, analyze and manage the complexity of choreographies.

xi, 81 p. : ill. / The purpose of my choreographic research is to challenge traditional tendencies in Western culture that objectify the dancing body and instead suggest different ways of understanding and seeing the body. My research strategized ways in which the choreographer might create opportunities to validate body image experiences of female dancers in a collaborative choreographic endeavor rooted in feminist pedagogy practices. Qualitative methodology included improvisation, journaling, and group discussions to enable the dancers to express themselves subjectively through words and movement. Insights from choreographers and scholars of feminist pedagogy in dance informed the collaborative creative process. Participants in this study identified validation of the personal body experience as a source of knowledge and utilization of the voice in dance as significant components leading towards empowerment and subjectivity for female dancers. / Committee in charge: Shannon Mockli, Chairperson; Dr. Jenifer Craig, Member; Rita Honka, Member

The purpose of this research was to investigate the creative process of six professional American Belly Dancers: Shannon Conklin, Elena Villa, Lila McDaniel, TC Skinner, Manny Garcia, and Cera Byer. I took a class with each dancer, witnessed each dancer creating movement, and witnessed each dancer perform. After each experience I held discussions with each dancer. I learned that, for some of the dancers, music is everything, but for others, Belly Dance can be performed to any sound. For some of the dancers, Belly Dance is highly codified, and for others it is experimental. For some of the dancers, Belly Dance is a solo endeavor, but for others, dancing with a troupe is essential. Following these findings, I created six movement explorations - one based on each professional Belly Dancer in my study. Supplemental video footage of these explorations can be viewed as a companion to this written document.

Esta tese se ocupa em discutir o status da coreografia nos Cursos de Graduação em Dança do Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brasil. Buscou-se compreender o contexto dos referidos cursos por intermédio de observação de aulas e entrevistas com os professores que trabalham com procedimentos coreográficos em seus processos de Ensino. Problematizam-se as práticas de criação de movimentos e de composição coreográfica e de recriação de repertórios de dança já existentes. Descreve-se o modo como professores e alunos empenham esforços para colocar suas produções à apreciação do público em apresentações diversas. Apresentam-se os Projetos de Extensão, coordenados pelos professores estudados, cujos objetivos têm relação com práticas coreográficas distintas. Discute-se a coreografia como procedimento de Ensino e como recurso pedagógico. Os Projetos de Extensão são apresentados e descritos como dispositivos de visibilidade da dança que propiciam tempo e espaço para o desenvolvimento de um refinamento estético na criação em dança. Compreende-se que o empenho para criar, produzir e apresentar as coreografias feitas nos Cursos de Graduação em Dança do RS circunscreve-se como prática de formação em dança. / This thesis is concerned to discuss the status of choreography in the Undergraduate Dance Courses in the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS) - Brazil. The research focused on understanding the context of these courses, by observing classes and interviewing professors who work with choreographic procedures in their teaching processes. Practices of Movement creation, choreographic composition and recreation of existing dance repertoires were problematized. It is described how teachers and students engage efforts to put their productions to appreciation in diverse presentations. The thesis also presents the extension projects, coordinated by the studied teachers, whose objectives are related to various choreographic practices. Choreography is discussed as a teaching procedure and as a pedagogic resource. The extension projects are presented and described as a device of visibility in dance that offers time and space for developing aesthetic refinement in dance creation. It can be understood that the effort to create, produce and present choreographies made in the RS Undergraduate Dance Courses is applied as a practice in dance formation.

Dentre seus objetivos destacam-se: analisar o processo de abstração cênica do cotidiano urbano, incluindo o percurso do gesto, da sua forma prática e cotidiana à sua forma artística, compreendendo, através de teorias da estética, a função desse gesto em ambas as formas; identificar, a partir de um breve enfoque antropológico, a origem e a presença da gestualidade cotidiana abstraída no espetáculo, refletindo sua utilização na coreografia do mesmo; verificar as características da pós-modernidade coreográfica no espetáculo e fazer um registro do espetáculo analisado para posteriores utilizações. A pesquisa indicou que a presença do cotidiano se notifica no espetáculo, não unicamente a partir da observação de gestualidades cotidianas visivelmente presentes nas grandes cidades, mas também a partir da pesquisa e criação de movimentos representativos dos sentimentos que se estabelecem no jogo do convívio social metropolitano, além de ter sido confirmada, tanto na criação quanto na encenação do espetáculo, a presença e a continuidade do gesto cotidiano comum. Procurando compreender essa permanência, foi criado o conceito de impregnação cultural, isto é, a maneira como as características humanas de comportamento gestual cotidiano são apreendidas e verificadas no corpo. Além disso, foi detectada ainda a presença de diversos elementos caracterizadores da pós-modernidade na dança, os quais, de forma eminentemente reflexiva, encontram-se descritos ao longo do texto. / ABSTRACT This dissertation consists in an aesthetics and reflexive analysis of the creation and staging processes of the choreografic spectacle Metrópole, created and directed by the author that here is presenting herself and performed by the Companhia Moderno de Dança. Among its objectives we point out: to analyse the abstraction processe from the urban quotidian to the scene, including the gesture trajectory from its practical and quotidian form to its artistic form, understanding both functions through the aesthetics theories; to identify the permanence of the quotidian gesture in the choreography, even in front of the gesture’s artistic transformation, through a brief antropological focus; to verify the postmodern dance characteristics in the spectacle, signed for me as my first one in this style of dancing and to make one spectacle’s registration for future utilization. The research pointed that the common gesture is found in the spectacle not only from the quotidian gestualities observation perceptible in the big cities, but also from research and movement creation that represent feelings of the metropolitan social living game. Besides, the presence and cotinuity of the common and quotidian gesture was confirmed in both the creation and staging processes. Looking for understing this we created the concept of cultural impregnation, that means the way as the human characteristics are apprehended and verified in the body. There were also verified the presence of diferent postmodern dance characteristics, elements wich are descripted along the text by a reflexive manner.

abstract: What is driving my applied project are questions derived from lived and observed experiences as an African American female born and raised in Los Angeles California to a non-native of twelve years in Arizona. I recognize situations I have gone through may not have happened if I was not a person of color and a woman. This is also true for Hispanics, Latinos, Native Americans, Pacific Islanders, Asians and other immigrants. The history of America as taught in public, secondary and post-secondary institutions speaks to this truth and raises the questions that I will explore in this document in relation to the process of creating my performance work Movement Speaks. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Dance 2017

Initially discusses the body in dance as a body/space for convergence, connectedness and continuity, from the thought of the Greek philosopher Epicurus of Samos, in dialogue with the thought of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Gilles Deleuze and Jos? Gil. Reflect about the creation of this body/space in the relationship choreographer/dancer using as connecting thread the experiences of the author in his artistic path. Finally describes the process of creating the scenic experiment (h)?poros, which constitutes the practice scene of this dissertation, having as main objective the creation of spaces of convergence and interaction between a proponent and an affluent body that, in this move, transforms itself and the space that now cohabits / is / Esta disserta??o prop?e uma reflex?o a respeito do corpo entre/corpos, em especial na dan?a contempor?nea, neste seu trajeto que tem inicio na constru??o coreogr?fica, perpassando o corpo do core?grafo, o corpo do bailarino e, ao realizar-se como manifesta??o art?stica, o corpo do espectador.

“21” est la chorégraphie de Grupo Corpo (Minas Gerais – Brésil), qui annonce une nouvelle étape dans la réalisation chorégraphique de Rodrigo Pederneiras. La pièce a débuté en 1992, avec une bande-son spécialement composée par Marco Antonio Guimarães, exécuté par le groupe UAKTI. L’objectif est, autant que possible, de comprendre le chemin qui mène à la réalisation du processus chorégraphique de “21”. Diverses sources d’information (vidéos, photos, interviews, documents scientifiques, matériel multimédia) ont été analysés, pour finalement proposer un dévoilement. Avec la méthodologie ici utilisée – grounded theory – l’absence d’une proposition théorique précédante soulève sa construction à mesure qu’ils surviennent les découvertes. L’immersion dans l’analyse du vidéo original de “21” a occasionné 21 perceptions: la musique comme motivation fondamentale pour le chorégraphe, l’ingérence des danseurs et de sa longévité artistique sur le processus chorégraphique; éléments-clés de la chorégraphie; influences sur Rodrigo Pederneiras; l’analyse des 14 scènes, avec tous ses doutes, ses tempos et métriques surprennants; les costumes, l’éclairage et le scénario et, enfin le modus operandi de Rodrigo Pederneiras et les traces du travail dans d’autres travaux du groupe. Un ensemble de compétences et de procédures semble composer une théorie finale: la créativité, l’abstraction, essais et erreurs, travail en équipe, multiplications et dérivations . Après tout, “21” est presque élucidé. / “21” é a coreografia da companhia mineira de dança Grupo Corpo, que inaugura uma nova etapa no fazer coreográfico de Rodrigo Pederneiras. Estreou em 1992, com trilha sonora especialmente composta por Marco Antônio Guimarães e interpretada pelo grupo mineiro UAKTI. O objetivo aqui é, tanto quanto possível, entender o percurso que leva à efetivação do processo coreográfico de “21”. Variadas fontes de informação (vídeos, fotografias, entrevistas, documentos acadêmicos e material de mídia) foram analisadas para, enfim, propor-se um desvendamento. Assim o é na grounded theory, metodologia aqui utilizada que parte da ausência de uma proposta teórica prévia para construí-la à medida que surgem as descobertas. A imersão na análise da gravação original de “21” trouxe à sensibilidade 21 percepções: a música como motivação fundamental do coreógrafo; as interferências do elenco, sua longevidade artística e as rasuras do processo coreográfico; os elementos norteadores da coreografia; as influências sobre Rodrigo Pederneiras; a análise das 14 cenas, com todas as suas dúvidas, andamentos e contagens que surpreendem; figurinos, iluminação e cenário; e, por fim, as ponderações sobre o modus operandi do coreógrafo e os rastros da obra em outros trabalhos do grupo. Um conjunto de valências e procedimentos parece compor a teoria final: criatividade, abstração, tentativa e erro, detalhamento, equipe, multiplicações e derivações. Afinal, quase desvendamos “21”. / “21” is the one choreography of Grupo Corpo (Minas Gerais – Brasil), which heralds a new stage in the choreographing process of Rodrigo Pederneiras. This piece debuted in 1992, with a specially composed soundtrack by Marco Antônio Guimarães executed by group UAKTI. The goal is, as far as possible, to understand the path that leads to the full realization of “21.” Various sources of information (videos, photographs, interviews, academic documents, media materials) were analyzed to finally propose an unveiling form. This is the principle of the grounded theory, methodology used in this research, where there’s an absence of a previous theoretical proposal, as it arises with the discoveries. Immersion in the analysis of the original video of “21” vented 21 perceptions: the choreographer’s fundamental motivation by music; cast interferences and its artistic longevity; the guiding elements of choreography; influences on Rodrigo Pederneiras; the analysis of 14 scenes, with all its doubts, surprising tempos and counts; costumes, lighting and scenery, and finally bethinks about the modus operandi of the choreographer and the traces of this work in other pieces of the group. A set of skills and procedures seems to compose a final theory: creativity, abstraction, trial and error, detailing, team work, multiplications and derivations. After all, we almost got the key to “21”.
