1	Kontakt i Folkdans : -en studie om hur vi skapar förutsättningar för att kunna läsa av varandras kroppar och intentioner Sontheimer, Johanna January 2022 (has links) This study aims to examine how the phenomenon of connection in Swedish folkdance is experienced and formulated by dancers. Connection is a big part of all couple dances, yet not many have concrete descriptions of it. The empirical data comes from two practical workshops with a focus group in which the participants got to dance and then directly discuss or write down their thoughts. The analysis of the material, which consists of notes and recordings, results in five themes: physical touch and its role in connection, metaphors and inner pictures of connection, technical aspects to create connection, a biomechanical approach and dancing in relation to one’s dance partner. In addition to those themes, the study generates perspectives with which the topic can be studied further. The biomechanical perspective can help understand the logics and functions of a couple dance and the metaphorical perspective appeals to the intuitive part of learning. This study is performed in a Swedish folk dance context but might be relevant to other couple dances as well, both to see similarities and differences in how the topic of connection is taught and discussed in the respective contexts. connection couple dance swedish folk dance technique dance education ideokinesis biomechanics kontakt pardans folkdans teknik dansundervisning ideokinesi biomekanik Humanities and the Arts Humaniora och konst
2	Folkdans och somatik : en kvalitativ studie om folkdanskroppen och somatik i folkdansundervisning / Folk dance and Somatics Wesp, Henrike January 2019 (has links) This study aims to investigate how dance teachers who are educated in Swedish folk dance are reflecting and thinking over the body and the use of bodily self-awareness in their teaching. Furthermore it wants to examine whether the use of somatic principles can act as a tool to support the ideas which dance teachers express. Four folk dance teachers have been interviewed as qualitative empirical material. These interviews have been transcribed and analyzed using codes and categories. The result of the study provides an image of the body as it is seen in folk dance today and points out similarities between that picture and somatics. Folk dance and somatics treat the whole body as a single unit and strive towards a relaxed and functional way of moving. Since folk dance and somatics have these similarities the possibility of using somatic principles in folk dance, such as training to gain consciousness of the body and its different parts to be able to relax actively, is discussed. However the result of this study shows how a rather small part of folk dance teachers think, since it only provides the opinions of four different teachers. somatics folk dance dance education somatic perspective traditional dance dance awareness pedagogics Swedish folk dance traditional dance somatik somatiska principer dans folkdans traditionell dans dansundervisning pedagogik medvetenhet kroppen svensk folkdans tradition Arts Konst Educational Sciences Utbildningsvetenskap
