Žaidimų laukas / The playing fieldAntukaitė, Živilė 02 July 2012 (has links)
Populiariojoje kultūroje nusistovi kūno, kaip kintamos egzistavimo formos, samprata, kuri gali būti formuojama pagal individualius poreikius, taip pat įpareigoja rūpintis kūnu kaip reprezentacijos objektu. Analizuojama populiarioji kultūra kaip vartotojo tapatumo fragmentacijos ir persikonstravimo vieta. Įkvėpimo šaltiniu tapo gilinimasis į kūno vartojimą – „kūno vadybą“ populiariojoje kultūroje. Sukūriau penkis skaitmeninės grafikos darbus pavadinimu „Žaidimų laukas“. Juose vaizduoju modeliuojamą, naujai perkonstruojamą kūną, kurį suvokiau kaip naujų produktų veikimo ir popkultūros nustatytų grožio taisyklių taikymo lauką. Šiame lauke vykstantis žaidimas simbolizuoja manipuliavimą kūnu, taip pat gali būti suprantamas kaip individų tarpusavio sąveikavimas, kuris yra pastebimas popkultūroje vyraujančių grožio etalonų fragmentas. / The body settles as a variable form of existence in popular culture, the concept, which can be shaped according to individual needs, as well as the obligation to take care of the body as a representation of the object. Popular culture analyzed as the consumer identity fragmentation and reconstruction place. A source of inspiration became the research about the use of the body – own body management in popular culture. I created five works in digital graphics technique titled "The Playing Field". Where I reflected the process of modeling, new reconstuction of the body. Which I understand as a place for the new product performance and practises of the beauty rules in pop culture. The game in this context means the manipulation of the body, can also be understood as inter-operation, which is perceptible in popular culture with the dominant beauty standards.

The Immediate Effects of Somatic Approach Workshops on the Body Usage and Musical Quality of PianistsWong, Grace January 2015 (has links)
There is a growing popularity among musicians to turn to somatic approaches such as the Alexander Technique, Body Mapping and Feldenkrais Method to improve posture and movement at the instrument and to produce better tone quality. There is little scientific and objective data to support the changes that are apparently seen and heard after such training. This study examines if a single somatic session has an immediate, perceivable effect on pianists’ body usage and musical quality. In the first mode of evaluation, judges rated specific aspects of body usage and musical quality. In the second mode of evaluation, judges were asked to identify post-somatic performances. Results indicated that there are perceivable changes in body usage and musical quality although those differences are not as apparent or easily detectable as is often believed. The findings also suggest that it is easier to identify post-somatic performances through body usage than musical quality.
