 Question 1

On page 8, Brilliant establishes that "the relationship between the portrait and its object of representation," which according to him,      "directly reflects the social dimension of human life as a field of action among persons with its own repertoire of signals and messages. How does Brilliant's statement relate to dance?

Frame

 The performance space is framed by a yarn. The students look at the framed-space with intent noticing the differences between the general space and the framed space.

Portraiture

 Portraiture is the art or an instance of making portraits. The students use their bodies to experience instances of solo, dyadic, triadic portraiture, etc.

 

Score


Students create the score of the phrases they have created so far, so by drawing a rectangular space. Within that space, they draw their movement for their solo and ensemble phrases.

 Question 3

 Those who are making up, please, do the work on your own and add your reflection to Discussion Board.

  Review I Concepts Developed by Rudolff Laban   Choreutics: Laban defined choreutics as “the practical study of harmonized movement.” Latter day colleagues of Laban’s, such as Valerie Preston-Dunlop and Vera Maletic, have delineated Choreutics respectively as the “spatial organization for dance” and “the theory and practice of ordering movement in space.”   Kinesphere :  “the sphere around the body whose periphery can be reached by easily extended limbs without stepping away from that place which is the point of support when standing on one foot” (1966, p.10). This spherical space around our body shifts as soon as we shift our weight. It is also the first area of movement exploration before going into “space in general”. It follows anatomical limitations, being actually more elliptic than spherical as constitutionally, the average body has a wider area of reach forward than backward. Visibly speaking the kinesphere stays invisible until the moment we mo...

    1   Dance as a way to express emotions Actavius J. Jones My take-aways are that I met wonderful people. Just been around them made me learn different things. How different people have different ways of dancing. How different people can use dance as a way to express emotions. Just, the professor dancing and doing the activities with us made learning very fast. Lucy was a big part of helping me go through this class. They way she brought energy to the work.

I also gained coordination with my body parts, b...
