1	Interactive Tango Milonga: An Interactive Dance System for Argentine Tango Social Dance January 2017 (has links) abstract: When dancers are granted agency over music, as in interactive dance systems, the actors are most often concerned with the problem of creating a staged performance for an audience. However, as is reflected by the above quote, the practice of Argentine tango social dance is most concerned with participants internal experience and their relationship to the broader tango community. In this dissertation I explore creative approaches to enrich the sense of connection, that is, the experience of oneness with a partner and complete immersion in music and dance for Argentine tango dancers by providing agency over musical activities through the use of interactive technology. Specifically, I create an interactive dance system that allows tango dancers to affect and create music via their movements in the context of social dance. The motivations for this work are multifold: 1) to intensify embodied experience of the interplay between dance and music, individual and partner, couple and community, 2) to create shared experience of the conventions of tango dance, and 3) to innovate Argentine tango social dance practice for the purposes of education and increasing musicality in dancers. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Music 2017 Music Dance Engineering embodied interactions experiental design interactive dance new interface for musical expression participatory music tango
2	Tradition och förändring i Kökars musiklandskap : en etnografisk studie av uppvisande- och deltagande musikande kring Kökarveckan Aavaranta Hansén, Jasmine January 2023 (has links) The island of Kökar, located in the outer archipelago of the Åland islands of Scandinavia, is traditionally a society known for its rich culture connected to the living tradition of traditional folk music. In media the island is portrayed as The island of Fiddles. Yet at the same time the number of people actually playing, singing and dancing in the traditional style is declining year by year. With the application of Thomas Turinos conceptual framework on participatory- and performative music making, island culture is analyzed, looking at what wider societal values are expressed within the contemporary musicking practices. The study shows example of different types of musicing contexts, key actors and -arenas, as well as ideas on the connection between music and a Kökar island identity. The essay provides empirical evidence for how different musical events such as a cultural festival, a choir and a fiddler team can contribute to social sustainability, in accordance with Turino's theory of participatory music making as part of artistic citizenship. artistic citizenship Kokar participatory music making island studies ethnomusicology Åland Kökar musiketnologi finlandssvensk artistic citizenship musikande spelmansmusik skärgård öighet participato ry music making Ethnology Etnologi
