Dance and Music: The 21st Century Direction.

Manjunan Gnanaratnam.

Brief:

 

The Avant-Garde of any art form is spearheaded by its Artists, and then documented by its Scholars, Theorists & Historians. During the 20th Century, Dance [Concert Dance], with the Kinesthetic Body as its instrument, Deconstruction as its primary process for investigations, Movement Vocabulary as its language, and Choreography as its creative outlet, examined its inherent Multi-Disciplinary identity extensively resulting in the development of Modern Dance, followed by Post-Modern Dance, leading us into the 21st Century. Music/Sound, an integral component of this Multi-Disciplinary identity of Dance, negotiated these developments through both period’s into the latter part of the last century establishing a direction in Music that is now specific to Dance. However Scholars and Theorists on this are yet to emerge, leaving the discourse on the subject to those from both Music and Dance fields to collaborate on viewpoints when called upon, deferring to each other for conclusions. Hence, until Dance Music Theorists and Scholars emerge, those who don’t have to collaborate on the subject for analysis, my below diagram, incorporating Yvonne Rainer’s from 1980, reflects the extensive developments in this collaborative art form of Dance and Music that occurred during the 20th century, beyond the situational Micro Cycles of Limited Affect/Effect through the ubiquitous, conventional Dance and Music collaborations, to the extensive Macro Cycles of Complex Affect/Effect of the feedback loops and pathways of symbiotic artistic flow of influence, and of extensive Multi-Disciplinary explorations that occurred between some of the critical figures from both Music and Dance. This in turn influenced both art forms, including extending the creative capabilities of the Artists beyond the conventional practices of their Art, while establishing a specific, complex lineage and practice of Dance Music and pointing to where future directions of it will come from. The discourse on this specific subject doesn’t have to begin at point A, it can continue from point R..

Call for Provocations & Panelists: 

What aspects of your practice/research are invisible to your collaborators? 

 

Extended Deadline for Panelists: October 5th, 2019

Extended Deadline for Provocations shared at MOCO: October 9th, 2019

Provocations are also accepted on a rolling basis, before, during, and following MOCO 2019.

 

We invite succinct provocations addressing the above question from diverse perspectives. We want to hear from artists and scientists, philosophers and robots, professionals and students, and everyone in between and beyond. 

 

The goal of the provocations is to incite dialogue about the ways in which tension within collaborative and cross-disciplinary work can be at once challenging and generative. We aim to draw out and mobilize critical differences between the motives and methods of various disciplinary communities as a source of mutual inspiration and innovation. 

 

Provocations may take a range of forms (text, images, audio, video, etc.), and should be max 250 words or 60 seconds for time-based media. Co-authored and multilingual provocations are encouraged, and multiple submissions are welcome.  All provocations will be posted online (moco19.provocations.online) and shared  via social media platforms on a rolling basis. Provocations submitted in advance of September 30, 2019 will also be shared in the context of the Conference on Movement and Computing (MOCO) 2019 to take place in Tempe, Arizona from October 10-12, 2019. 

 

Those who plan to attend MOCO 2019 may also indicate their interest in being selected to participate in a 90-minute panel discussion on “Generative tension in cross-disciplinary collaboration” during the conference. Following MOCO 2019, we plan to invite submissions for a peer-reviewed publication that elaborates themes from the event. If you wish to be considered as a panelist, please see the Call for Panelists, and  submit your provocation by September 30, 2019. 

 

In the provocations, as well as the panel, contributors are asked to draw on their own experiences to address questions such as:

  • What is included and excluded, intentionally or not, from the representations of time, movement, bodies, interaction, gestures, etc. which are integral to your practice/research? In what ways do these exclusions matter to you?
  • How does that which is invisible or excluded also iteratively shape your practice with regard to movement and computing?
  • Who gets to claim expertise and ownership of knowledge and know-how related to movement versus computing—or alternately, in both areas—and what are the implications of acting as a representative of your disciplinary community in a cross-disciplinary context?
  • What is the role of collaboration, both implicit and explicit, in projects related to movement and computing? In past MOCO proceedings, who becomes implicated (beyond stated authors and participants) in papers related to transmitting choreographic knowledge, producing software platforms to support learning in dance and music, and movement analysis more broadly?

 

For further thematic guidance, please see the Extended Abstracthttp://www.moco19.provocations.online/abstract.

 

If you have any questions, please contact Jessica Rajko, Teoma Naccarato and John MacCallum at: moco19.provocations@gmail.com

 

Submit your provocation here: https://forms.gle/B484eGpmEvMVrMvn7

Resume Objective Samples

I'd like to share some resume objective samples with you.

Wait! Before I do that, I want to take the time to clearly define exactly what the purpose of the resume objective statement is professional nursing resume writers. I'll also show you the biggest mistake people make in writing their objective.

So, what is a resume objective statement?


First, let me tell you what it isn't. The resume objective is not the place for you to write about your own desires. I know that is what the vast majority of people write for their objective. I am sure you have seen it too.

Let me give you a couple of examples of what I am talking about.

Bad Resume Objective Samples


Obtain a challenging customer service position at a progressive company where I can advance to more rewarding positions.

PC support technician for a small company.

Okay. Those are examples of what you don't want to do.

This is why you do not want to write like that in your resume objective.

Purpose of the Resume Objective Statement


The objective statement is your chance to tell your potential employer how your goals align with theirs. Sure you can use it to give them an idea of what your own goals are but you want to keep the focus on them.

Read the samples above again. Do you see anything in those statements that benefit the company? No. It's all about the job seeker and what they want.

Hey all,

since 2013 our dance research project “Motion Bank” has been organising “Choreographic Coding Labs 1” (CCLs). The format … »offers unique opportunities of exchange and collaboration for digital media artists (you?) who have an interest in translating aspects of choreography and dance into digital form and applying choreographic thinking to their own practice.« To illustrate what we mean here is a short documentation from our CCL in NYC in 2015:

The upcoming edition is very special as it is A) happening in Mainz, Germany, where the Motion Bank project is now based and B) is part of a larger funded (by Kulturstiftung des Bundes) cooperation of Motion Bank, Kunsthalle Mainz and Staatstheater Mainz. The collaboration, which is called “Between Us”, deals with the exchange and transformation of knowledge from and between the participating disciplines: art, dance and science. Not only will the CCL mark the starting point of the collaboration and creation of a new dance piece by Finnish choreographer Taneli Törmä, it will also inform the process of exchange between all participating artists.

If this sounds remotely interesting to you, check our full announcement and maybe apply here:

Also seeking submissions that consider dance, media and disembodiment....

Call for Papers: SLSA 2018 (Toronto) PANEL: The Disembodied Woman in Digital Art and Culture

“Invisible” is a word that haunts histories of the technologized body. From the popularity of the late-19th century magic trick, the “Vanishing Lady,” to the advent of photography, in which “the body itself appeared to be abolished, [and] rendered immaterial” (Gunning), and the invention of the television (another kind of ‘body’), which Jean Baudrillard writes, “is now intangible, diffuse and diffracted in the real." The threat (and thrill) of this concept is magnified in the digital age, where the body is both immaterial and networked, and where the inscrutability of computational architecture hides itself behind pretty software interfaces that masquerade as perfectly clear and easy to understand.

That the vanishing lady is a lady is no accident. In the new media era there is a simultaneous turn towards invisibility (omnipresent surveillance; dispersed identities) and a return to the material world of things (as evidenced by the recent academic trend towards speculative materialism and object oriented ontology). In this oscillation between absence and presence, it is important to ask: which objects get to be seen and which are made to disappear? The female body seems to be one object that is always in the process of dematerialization (Apple’s digital assistant Siri and CGI Instagram model Lil Miquela, for example).

In keeping with the SLSA conference theme (“Out of Mind”), I hope to construct a panel that both challenges Cartesian dualism (in which the rational is privileged over the corporeal) and demonstrates its problematic perseverance as a structuring principle in art and design. I invite submissions that take up the following questions: Where does the organic human body exist (or persist), especially in relation to “bodies” such as avatars, digital renderings and filmic or animated traces? What are the procedures that construct and govern mechanical and digital bodies, and do these procedures differ substantially from those that govern organic bodies? How do lived conditions of difference such as race and gender factor into digital representations of the body?

I am particularly interested in submissions that explore representations of the female body in relation to:

-       (Dis)embodiment

-       VR / AR (and other immersive media)

-       Digital and algorithmic choreography/dance

-       Visual and screen media

-       Posthumanism

-       Kinaesthetics and sensation

-       Interactivity

-       Affect and emotions

-       Interfaces and software

-       Mind-Body Dualism

-       Sound studies



Abstracts of 250 words should be sent to hilary.bergen@gmail.com along with a short bio by April 1st.



NOTE: This is a call for papers for a panel to be submitted for consideration for the SLSA conference in Toronto, Canada, November 15-18, 2018. The conference theme is “Out of Mind.”  The SLSA general call for papers, as well as more information about the conference, can be found here: https://litsciarts.org/slsa18/

Technology, the Body, and Choreography

Free residency at Lake Studios Berlin sponsored by TroikaTronix – Mark Coniglio

 

We invite dance makers invested in the field of technology to apply for this special 4 - 6 week residency hosted at Lake Studios Berlin between July 1 – August 15 2018

We are searching for artists who consciously use elements of technology to affect the choreographic process and performance. We look for work that uses technology to expand or intervene in the body’s performative and choreographic possibilities while keeping the human body in the foreground of the work. The role of the technology should be integral to the choreographic expression: it should connect, organize or disrupt the body or bodies aesthetically, socially, or politically.

 

To apply please submit the following (please use the provided application form provided if possible!):

 

-  An artist statement (no more than 200 words) about how you define, perceive and work with the element of technology in your 

   performance work.

-  A description (no more than 500 words) of what you would like research and develop during the residency

-  Supporting video and documentation material of current and/or past work

-  Your CV and the CVs of any collaborating artists

 

We will provide:

  • a private room and access to a shared kitchen, and bathroom in the Lake Studios Complex for one person. A second bed is available in the room.

  • 100 hours of studio space divided between our small and large studios

  • Technical equipment: 2 beamers, selected stage lights/light board, sound system and mixer, microphones, sound recorder, video camera to record rehearsals, etc.

  • A presentation of the first stage of the work for feedback in our performance series Unfinished Fridays on July 27

  • 2 hours of coaching by Mark Coniglio (creator of the media programming software Isadora)

  • 50€/ week stipend

 

The selected resident must provide his/her own transportation and meals.

 

Lake Studios would like to thank TroikaTronix, maker of Isadora, for their generous financial support of this residency.

 

Please submit your application with the subject line “Dance/Tech Residency 2018”

by March 15, 2018 to lakestudiosberlin@gmail.com

We will notify all artists of the selection results by March 22, 2018.

So happy to serve as a guide during this two-week process at the Lake Studios Berlin, as we attempt to reconsider media and performance, to name the potentials and pitfalls as we seek to see our practice anew.

Digital Body Workshop Journal: Day 1 - Abandoning Preconceived Notions: What are our expectations about performance and media? What are the prejudices and stereotypes we carry inside, our points of excitement and our irritations? We spent several hours exploring these questions during the first day of the workshop. It is our attempt to see the digital materials with fresh eyes so we might put them to use in new and unexpected ways.

12249587092?profile=original

Digital Body Workshop Journal: Days 2 + 3: What is an Image? The word slips easily from the tongue, but what do we really mean? We dug in to that topic as Benjamin Krieg shared from his vast body of work with groups like She She Pop and others, as Marlon Barrios Solano pushed us inward and outward with several poetic provocations, and Armando Menicacci led us through a rigorous, analytic examination of the structural implications of the word itself. We responded to all of this by having each participant create and share rapidly improvised scenarios comprised only of a projector connected to a video camera in relation to the performer and audience – each of which led to long, rich discussions of the implications and possible meanings they portrayed. When thinking about performance, what does the word image conjure for you?

12249588254?profile=original12249589059?profile=original12249589690?profile=original12249590653?profile=original

Digital Body Workshop Journal: Days 4 + 5: The Barrier of Technology. After two full days of working only with the technology of a camera, a video projector, and a performer, we opened the door to more complex tools like Isadora itself, but also robotic cameras, green screens, a Rokoko motion capture suit, and more. Immediately upon doing so, the energy in the room changed from one of quiet experimentation and extensive reflection to one of excitement ("Wow!!!"), desire and curiosity ("I want to...." or "How can i...?") and at least some frustration ("Why can't I get this working?"). These tools and devices can offer fresh and compelling new modes of expression, but their complexity can also impede a free-flowing artistic process. Please join the conversation in the comments below by answering the question we'll be asking next: what does media/technology give us, but what also does it take away?

Digital Body Workshop Journal, Week 1 – "What is it?": For the last six days, we have attempted to (re)encounter the image: to imagine it, to read it, to wrangle the hardware and software required to record and render it. We did this within the frame of our overarching goal: to abandon preconceived notions and see these materials in a new way. As we start week 2, I ask myself, "how did we do?"
In the end, it is impossible to ignore or deny thousands of years of seeing and making images, from cave paintings to virtual reality. It's in our bones. Yet, we managed to keep ourselves in a constant state of questioning. As Bebe Miller wisely advised us to do last night, we kept stepping back and asking ourself one question, over, and over, and over again.
"What is it?"
For me, embracing that question was the great success of this first week. Now we will see if we can do the same with "data."

Digital Body Workshop Journal, Days 7 & 8– Big Data: As we did with the word "technology" in the first week, we started the second week by asking "what is data?" This question could be debated ad infinitum, but here I will mention three crucial points: "data is interpretation and representation", "data is a reduction", and perhaps most importantly "data has value". But how does this apply to using data, from a performer or from the world, in a performance?
Our guest speakers Ruth Gibson + Bruno Martelli (https://gibsonmartelli.com), and Bebe Miller (https://bebemillercompany.org) helped us dig in to those points with presentations that touched on technologies ranging from virtual reality to motion capture, though they continuously kept their focus on aesthetics and expression.
With this in mind, we began to navigate "the gear": this is a sensor, this is the kind of data it measures and represents, this is how we get it into the computer, and this is what we can do with it – practical realities that can often seem at odds with the artistry.
To assimilate and balance the theory, the "how to", and the desire to express and share our artistic vision, remains the goal of this second week.

Digital Body No. 1 Journal - Day 9 - Data Invasion: Today's pictures feature only the participants of the lab, because we spent nearly two hours today vigorously responding to the works presented by our guest speaker Christopher Kondek. (https://doubleluckyproductions.org)
Each of the works dug into the topic of data in a different way – the stock market, our heart beats, lie detectors and more. But none did so more provocatively than "You Are Out There" – where audience members were asked to give their identification cards as a deposit for a set of headphones, not knowing that the faces and names on those personal documents would be projected, scanned, seemingly shredded (it was faked) and otherwise exposed to the entire audience in various ways.
This highly political work led to an intense discussion among us: could an art piece ethically draw attention to matters of data privacy by violating that privacy?
I cannot reproduce the incredibly well articulated points that so many of our intrepid explorers offered in a Facebook post. Suffice to say, thanks to Chris' presentation and the ensuing discussion, we could no longer pretend that data was just a stream of numbers captured from a performer's body. Losing control of your data, especially for those who live under authoritarian regimes, is not a game. It is a matter of life and death – a notion that will weigh strong on our minds as we continue through this week.

OUR DANCE - the living room edition

https://vimeo.com/576478142?fbclid=IwAR1ZsEsR9mwef_ZvG3cL97NzeJWcmc5LtBkURixz0DO5tpoin_aU9RHBxEw

The one-year project series “OUR DANCE – What is your dance?”, funded by the Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Europe, since spring 2020 has been based on a setting that is concerned about our work and our constellations. In this setting we wanted to use the potentiality of the local to bring together different neighbors or non-neighbors and emerge from unlikely encounters with a shared or individual experience, with mixed or unambiguous feelings, energies, affects, anger and insight. We ask: How can a public space be curated through the collaboration of a group? How can different audiences be mixed through unexpected gatherings in this process?
Largely under the unexpected auspices of the pandemic caused by Covid-19, we have been searching for constellations of shared learning and unlearning for more than a year now. Instead of giving and taking, instead of outreach and receiving, we set up our work as an exchange of expertise of various kinds. This tangents to some, but not all. It opens to these, but not to those. Only in the overall view of the fluctuations and confusions did small tectonic shifts become apparent. Beyond a paternalistic ethos of gratification, which accompanies many activities in the intermediate area between art and cultural education, we asked what we ourselves want to know and what points of contact arise from this. How do we proceed, how does this world proceed through and as an embodiment of changeable structures? Therefore, seventeen months ago by now, we consciously started with a very simple question that is close to us, that takes the subjective extremely personally, but at the same time offers the possibility to be examined in its social, historical and cultural complexity. In this respect, the central question of OUR DANCE is: What is YOUR dance? And, even further, how do we then dance together?
The durational online event that concludes our project, “OUR DANCE - The living room edition”, inquires into biographical elements whilst exploring the hybridity of cultures and cultural techniques. It approaches embodiment as a shared memory space and offers connections to a biographical as well as socio-political and (inter)cultural exploration. Dancing is practiced here as a special case of what Stefano Harney and Fred Moten describe in “The Undercommons” (2013): They conceive learning at all levels as a collective act of knowledge exchange and knowledge production. For them, this collective learning means a practice against general disinterest or the hyper-individualized interest of individuals. Un/learning is about an interest beyond the individual search for self-interest. It crosses identities and generates new communities.
Given the abundance of dance happening in and around Uferstudios, we want to conclude with “OUR DANCE - The living room edition” together with our guests with a program series that examines dance in its various forms, as a practice that is in each case its own – biographically determined, acquired, deformed or found – along the following questions:
* What is the history, what are the cultures, politics, structures and preconditions of YOUR dance?
* How is YOUR dance embedded in the politics of its history and origins, what are the collectivizing and what are the individualizing forces that can be found in it? How and what does it embody and how does it produce a particular knowledge that cannot be found anywhere else?
* What is YOUR dance at all, how does it work and how can I – the other – dance it?
Different strategies and methods of investigation apply to different types of dance – be it street dance, dance history(s), Madonna videos, Irish social dances, theoretical practices or workshops. Whether as affirmation, as critical embodiment, or as techniques of individualization or communization: the various researches and an international conference which have been realized within the framework of our series questioned 'their dance' with their own methods and by drawing on different inputs from experts in other fields. In each case, specific decisions were made about what kinds of collaborations and what kinds of openings were needed.

Ruth Cathlow’s definition of the artist role in her book Artists Re:thinking the Blockchain:
“Artists are good in mediating abstractions for our perceptions through play, open exploration and supposition. They can tolerate, even relish, extended encounters with difference, contradiction, muddle and slippage between symbolic and material possibilities without rushing to usefulness or simplicity. They have a kitbag of methods and processes for revealing the practical affordances and animal spirit of a subject, medium or technology. They know that a way to get to know something that does’n yet exist is to collaborate with its possibilities and to do something/anything with it or about it. And by doing so, they materialize and shape what it will be, allowing many other people to access, approach and reach out to it with different parts of themselves:”

Science Diet

It generally does not require much mathematics to comprehend wheat, corn, also rice are not related to a obligate carnivore, yet each one these grains comprise Science Diet for Exotic cats. This causes you to wonder why they redefine the term"Science" therefore readily, but mathematics is a really loose term and does not need to get a lot of regard to the merchandise. Assessing just how much grain to provide a kitty without any recovery for just about any ill effects is actually science.

Vets proactively shield this particular brand. Perhaps that is due to Hill's long standing involvement in veterinary studies, or even scientific research pioneered by Hill's readily believed without evaluation, or it might possibly be because Science Diet is in fact better for cats compared to many dreadful chemically-preserved cereal by product kitty"foods" one are able to purchase at the supermarket.

Let us delve a bit deeper in to the Adult 1 6 formula that aims an a long time at which famous brands renal failure has never reared it's ugly head (yet).

Once cooked the chicken will probably soon be relatively lack luster, which makes the corn and wheat significant. Wheat appears to be probably one of the very obvious allergens, specially out of wheat germ, and corn can be definitely an ingredients linked in 2013 (20 20 ) to puppy megaesophagus on account of harvest disorder.

It isn't frequently believed, however cats generally eat to satiate. They tend not to eat. Therefore why can we see many Fat Cats (such as the guy from the pic)? ) If you provide a cat a beef diet they'll not be obese but when you induce them to churn via a food packed of fries to obtain the nutrition they require from the lean meat material, chances are they're forced to eat. They can not process carbohydrates, therefore the carbs turn to sugar inducing weight reduction, diabetes, organ failure, etc.

There is great good to say concerning any of it particular food by an ingredients perspective. It isn't an eating plan we'd logically look at ingesting a carnivore. However, what could you expect in a business like colgate palmolive whilst the conglomerate supporting Hills.

At science diet cat food review said is that -- cats are carnivores, nourish these meat. It isn't just a tough concept to understand.

This food has a slightly higher score compared to super-market crap, however it's still ridiculously pricey for what's actually a bag of corn and wheat directed in a freshwater animal.

The purchase price advertisements and compare are our sole source of revenue to maintain the site running.
