Descobrir o que da sua formação em diversos métodos, sistemas e técnicas de dança e de teatro e em linguagens afins influenciou no BPI, bem como o que do contexto histórico da dança no Brasil dos anos 70 e 80. Para responder à essas indagações, a autora fez pesquisas bibliográficas e documentais, mas, sobretudo, pesquisas de campo, através da realização de dezoito entrevistas semiestruturadas inclusive com a própria criadora do BPI e o restante, na sua maioria, com artistas que trabalharam e conviveram com ela no período histórico de 1970-1987. Após a análise dessas entrevistas e o levantamento das suas categorias, dialogou os dados relevantes coletados de campo com os dados bibliográficos e documentais. Assim, a discussão desta tese revela novos dados sobre a história da dança no Brasil no período histórico estudado e sobre a história deste método, das suas origens, do seu nascimento até 1987. Depois dessas reflexões, a autora chegou a algumas conclusões, sendo que a principal é que por mais que o BPI ressoe o espírito dos anos 70 e 80 na história da dança no Brasil, ele apresenta uma originalidade em relação aos métodos, sistemas e técnicas que contribuíram para a formação da sua criadora / Abstract: The main purpose of this work is to disclose how the origins of the creation of the method of research and creation in (DRI) Dancer-Researcher-Interpreter in 1980 were and of its development in the first course of its creator (1970-1987), Graziela Rodrigues. Also discover what, from her education in several dance and theater methods, systems and techniques and in related languages, influenced the DRI, as well as what from the historical context of dance in the Brazil of the 1970¿s and 1980¿s. In order to answer these questions, the author made bibliographic and documentary research, but above all, fieldwork by having eighteen semi-structured interviews, including with the creator of DRI and the rest, mostly with artists who worked and lived with her in the historical period from 1970 to 1987. After analyzing these interviews and the gathering of its categories, she dialogued the relevant data collected from the field with the bibliographical and documental data. Therefore the discussion of this thesis reveals new data on the history of dance in Brazil in the historical period studied and on the history of this method, its origins and its birth until 1987. After these reflections, the author came to some conclusions and the main one is that to whatever degree the DRI resounds the spirit of the 70s and 80s in the history of dance in Brazil, it shows an originality in relation to the methods, systems and techniques which contributed to the education of its creator / Doutorado / Artes da Cena / Doutora em Artes da Cena

Behind the Scenes and Across Screens: Michael Jackson, His Dancing Chorus, and the Commercial Dance Industry examines the history, ideologies, and production culture of the Los Angeles commercial dance industry. Michael Jackson was the best-selling crossover pop star of the 1980s, and a recognized vanguard of music video dance who worked with many dancers and choreographers from both “studio” and “street” dance backgrounds. My focus on Jackson, his choreographic and dancing collaborators, the different styles of dance incorporated into their works, and the dynamics and aims of the conglomerate entertainment/advertising industry in which these works were produced contributes to a critical examination of commercial dance more broadly. I argue that during the critical juncture of the 1980s, the works of Jackson and his dancing chorus illuminate both the enduring paradigms and shifting dynamics of the commercial dance industry regarding practices of attribution and recognition, commodity culture and commercialism, and racial politics and ideology. My dual analytic framework of behind the scenes and across screens recognizes commercial dance works as both creative processes and commercial products. Behind the scenes examines creative labor and production practices, shedding light on how the industry functions in social, political, and economic terms. The original intention of the producers frequently differs from how consumers interpret the mass-produced artifacts. Therefore, across screens explores how divergent dance aesthetics, cultural trends, and semiotic tropes circulate via various screen technology, are re-circulated as cultural commodities, and might be received by different audiences. Together, both analytic perspectives reveal commercial dance’s complicated, sometimes contradictory, multivalence, especially regarding race. Methodologically, Behind the Scenes and Across Screens is rooted in dance studies, but draws upon the disciplinary lenses of historiography, production studies, African American cultural studies, racial theory, media studies, and screendance studies. Through archival research, interviews, and screendance analyses, I examine the entangled themes of attribution, commercialism, and race as they manifest in some of Jackson’s most iconic commercial dance works from the 1980s. The focus on Jackson and his chorus illuminates the historically vexed status of dance as labor and divergent practices of credit-giving, how commodity culture and crossover marketing shape the dancing, and how commercial dance variously redresses or reifies past racial politics and contemporary racial ideologies. While I highlight the ways in which commercial dance workers assert their agency and attempt to make dances that offer positive social messages, ultimately the paradigms regarding labor, commercialism, and race in which the commercial dance industry is imbricated curtails progressive political critique. / Dance

Though she is widely considered one of the "four pioneers" of American modern dance, German-American Hanya Holm (1893-1992) occupies a shadowy presence in dance history literature. She has often been described as someone who fell in love with America, purged her approach of Germanic elements, and emerged with a more universal one. Her "Americanization" has served as evidence of the Americanness of modern dance, thus eclipsing the German influence on modern dance. This dissertation challenges that narrative by casting new light on Holm's worldview and initial intentions in the New World, and by articulating the specifics of the first five years of her American career. In contrast to previous histories, I propose that Holm did not come to the U.S. to forge an independent career as a choreographer; rather, she came as a missionary for Mary Wigman and her Tanz-Gemeinschaft (dance cultural community). To Wigman and Holm, dance was not only an art form; it was a way of life, a revolt against bourgeois sterility and modern alienation, and a utopian communal vision, even a religion. Artistic expression was only one aspect of modern dance's larger purpose. The transformation of social life was equally important, and Holm was a fervent believer in the need for a widespread amateur dance culture. This study uses a historical methodology and accesses traces of the past such as lectures, school reports, promotional material, newspaper articles, personal notebooks, correspondence, photographs, and other material--much of it discussed here for the first time. These sources provide evidence for new descriptions and interpretations of Holm's migration from Germany to the U.S. and from German dance to American dance. I examine cultural contexts that informed Holm's beliefs, such as early twentieth century German life reform and body culture; provide a sustained analysis of the curriculum of the New York Wigman School of the Dance; and consider how the politicization of dance in the 1930s--in both Germany and the U.S.--affected Holm and her work. / Dance

The context in which any artist creates an artwork is integral to understanding its significance, and one crucial aspect of context is how a work was created. When first looking at how Edgar Degas created his dancer paintings, his process seems simple- he watched the dancers and then painted what he saw. However, that is only a surface examination of a much more complicated system of observation, practice, repetition, mastery, and reproduction. This thesis investigates how Degas bridged the gap between observation and understanding of balletic technique; how deep his knowledge of balletic technique was; and if Degas did have a deep understanding of balletic technique, what process he utilized to gain that knowledge. It reconstructs the process Degas utilized to learn and then reproduce the repertoire of the Paris Opéra ballet by pairing visual analysis of specific works with my own knowledge of ballet technique as a dancer of twenty years. Ultimately, this study reveals that Degas learned how to dance classical ballet by mimicking the process ballerinas used to learn how to dance: first watching, then doing, and finally performing.

It problematizes theoretical and practical way to make dance history, investigating this possibility through the dance itself. Arises from the fact that the dance has specific characteristics that can not be neglected by the historical account. In this sense, it was initiated by the raising of a theoretical framework that speaks to the indicated issues and unfolds through a field study, which included collecting testimonies from people who participated in the show, documentary research, gathering material traces and finally consists a practical part by transposing elaborated historical knowledge into the body through a creative process, resulting on this moment, in the construction of a duo dance / Esta pesquisa investigou o espet?culo de dan?a Caldo da Cana que estreou em Jo?o Pessoa-PB, em setembro de 1984.

A fim de alcançar-se uma compreensão das vias de teatralização utilizadas por cada artista, buscou-se reconhecer em seus espetáculos quais foram os modos de gestão da corporeidade dançante, as principais estratégias coreográficas empregadas e como foram manipulados os diferentes materiais cênicos. O recorte contextual escolhido para esse estudo vai de 1974 a 1993, demarcando dois momentos emblemáticos para a dança paulistana: a fundação do Teatro Galpão de São Paulo em dezembro de 1974; e a criação do MTD - Movimento Teatro-Dança 90 em 1993. A abordagem metodológica adotada foi de cunho qualitativo, valendo-se de depoimentos pessoais das coreógrafas e da reunião de documentos históricos de diversas espécies para realização das análises. Durante o processo de trabalho, buscou-se forjar instrumentos adequados à sistematização dos dados da pesquisa, resultando na elaboração de três categorias de análise: corpo cênico, princípios estruturais, estruturação da linguagem. A partir da definição de tais categorias, pôde-se realizar a apreciação da produção individual de cada criadora, bem como um estudo final comparativo de seus modos de produção cênicos, buscando-se capturar elementos elucidativos das tendências teatralizantes presentes nas danças de Célia Gouvêa e Sônia Mota. / Abstract: The main objectives of this study were: the reconstitution and documented registry of the production by São Paulo choreographers Célia Gouvêa and Sônia Mota in the 1970s and 1980s; an appreciation of this production to reflect on the roots of theatricality in scenic dance during that period. In order to understand the theatricality pathways used by each artist, an attempt was made to recognize the forms of dance corporeity management, the main choreographic strategies employed and how the different scenic materials were manipulated in their work. The contextual period chosen for this study goes from 1974 to 1993, delimiting two emblematic moments for São Paulo dance: the foundation of São Paulo's Teatro Galpão in December 1974; and the creation of the MTD - Theater-Dance Movement 90 in 1993. A qualitative methodological approach was adopted, making use of personal testimony from the choreographers and the gathering of several kinds of historical documents for analysis. Throughout the entire process, an attempt was made to forge appropriate instruments for the systematization of research data, resulting in the elaboration of three categories of analysis: scenic body, structural principles and language structuring. From the definition of these categories, it was possible to analyze the individual production of each creator, as well as make a final comparative study of their scenic productions, seeking to capture elucidative elements of theatrical trends present in the dances of Célia Gouvêa and Sônia Mota. / Doutorado / Doutor em Artes

Der Widerstand gegen Kunstgeschichtsschreibung ist ebenso groß wie die Notwendigkeit, Grundlagen der Diskussion und Verständigung zu schaffen. Alle Debatten um Kanonbildung, Ereignis- versus Werkgeschichte, sozialen Kontext im Gegensatz zu auratischem Wirkprozess, finden auch auf den Tanz Anwendung. Gleichwohl ist die Historiographie des Tanzes viel weniger weit entwickelt. Aber es gibt eine Geschichte des Tanzes. Ihre Kenntnis ist Voraussetzung für ein Entkommen aus der Falle der ewigen Innovation und subjektivistischen Produktionslogik im Namen der schieren Ästhetik. Notwendig sind Initiativen zur Visualisierung von Geschichte. Notwendig sind aber auch Auswahlprozesse, die sich gerade nicht nur von den Gegebenheiten der Überlieferung lenken lassen, sondern die Tiefenbereiche offenlegen. Im Fall des Tanzes sind das etwa Diskursgeschichte, Pädagogik, Stilanalyse oder Rechtsfragen, beispielsweise urheberrechtliche Aspekte.

American Indian music and dance traditions unilaterally contain the following three elements: singing, dancing, and percussion instruments. Singing and dancing are of the utmost importance in American Indian dance traditions, while the expression of percussion instruments is superfluous. Louis W. Ballard has composed a piece of music for percussion ensemble which was inspired by the music and dance traditions of American Indian tribes from across North America. The controversy that this presents is relative to the fact that there is no American Indian tradition for a group comprised exclusively of percussion instruments. However, this percussion ensemble piece, Cacega Ayuwipi, does exhibit the three elements inherent to all American Indian music and dance traditions. Cacega Ayuwipi is consistent with American Indian traditions in that the audience must see the instruments, watch the movements of the percussionists, and hear the percussive expressions in order to experience the musical work in its entirety. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2015. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Le chorégraphe français Marius Petipa (1818-1910), qui a effectué la majeure partie d’une très longue carrière au service des Théâtres impériaux, est considéré comme l’inventeur du grand ballet académique ou du ballet « russe ». Ceci constitue un paradoxe intéressant, dans la mesure où il s’agit d’un chorégraphe étranger. Cette thèse propose d’envisager l’œuvre de Marius Petipa comme une œuvre à la frontière entre deux pays et deux cultures et de mettre à jour les oppositions et les tensions qui la traversent. Nous l’analysons comme un exemple d’hybridation culturelle et de transfert culturel, une notion qui sert à définir toute réalité sociale issue de contacts entre des identités initialement distinctes et autonomes. La question centrale soulevée dans cette thèse est l’analyse de la dimension slave de son œuvre et de son imaginaire au contact de la réalité russe. Après avoir brossé le contexte culturel et artistique russe, sont examinés les ballets des prédécesseurs de Petipa qui abordent un sujet slave et russe. Nous analysons Le Prisonnier du Caucase ou l’ombre d’une fiancée (1823) et Rouslane et Lioudmila ou Tchernomor, le sorcier maléfique (1824) du chorégraphe français Charles-Louis Didelot. Le ballet abordant le monde slave apparaît également dans l’œuvre de Jules Perrot. Le ballet signé par Arthur Saint-Léon, Le Petit Cheval bossu (1864), inspiré par le conte de Piotr Erchov, connaît un vrai succès. Le chorégraphe français s’adresse également à l’œuvre d’Alexandre Pouchkine pour son ballet au thème russe, Le Poisson doré (1867). Sont enfin analysés les ballets méconnus et peu étudiés de l’œuvre petipienne qui abordent un sujet slave : Roxana, la Belle de Monténégro (Saint-Pétersbourg, 1878) et Mlada (Saint-Pétersbourg, 1879). Ces créations coïncident avec un moment de tensions sociales et d’émergence des idées nationales en Russie au XIXe siècle. Elles confirment aussi la volonté du ballet de s’adapter, à sa manière, aux tendances du jour, reproduites cependant d’une façon conventionnelle. Cette thématique slave, abordée en Russie par les chorégraphes français, contribue à la construction de la notion de « ballet russe » qui trouvera son apogée au début du XXe siècle à Paris. / The French choreographer Marius Petipa (1818-1910), who spent most of his life-long career at the service of the Imperial Theatres, is considered as the inventor of the academic Grand Ballet, or Russian Ballet. This constitute an interesting paradox, since he happens to be a foreign choreographer. This thesis proposes to look at Marius Petipa's work as a work on the frontier between the two different countries and cultures and to expose the oppositions and tensions that cross it. We’ll study it as an example of cultural hybridization and cultural transfer, a notion used to define every social reality issued from the contacts between two initially distinct and autonomous identities. The main hypothesis studied through this thesis is the analysis of the Slavic dimension of his artwork and of its imaginary in close proximity of a Russian reality. After covering the Russian cultural artistic context, the ballets of Petipa’s predecessors who address the Slavic and Russian topic are examined. We analyse The Prisoner of Caucasus, or the Bride’s shadow (1823) and Ruslan and Ludmila, or Chernomor, the evil magician (1824) by the French choreograph Charles-Louis Didelot. The ballet created by Arthur Saint-Léon, The Little Humpbacked Horse (1864), inspired with Piotr Erchov’s tale, was met with success. This choreograph draws also his inspiration from the Alexander Pushkin’s tale to compose The Golden Fish (1867). Finally, we explore little known ballets with a Slavic theme of Petipa’s universe: Roxana, the Beauty of Montenegro (Saint-Petersburg, 1878) and Mlada (Saint-Petersburg, 1879). These creations coincided with a period of social tensions and the emergence of national ideas in Russia in the 19th centaury. They also confirm the ballet's desire to adapt, to the trends of the day, reproduced however in a conventional way. This Slavic theme in the work of French choreographs in Russia contribute to the construction of the notion of «Russian ballet» the will arrive in its apogee in the 20th centaury in Paris.
