always been known for the risky and powerful movements which are often why dancers retire from the company. The dancer’s movements were often very intense and emotive, such as the “throws” across the stage in which the dancers would, almost violently, launch themselves across the stage in different forms (leaps, falls and flips to name a few). Another section where the movements were emotive is where the dancers were thrusting their hips in different positions to perhaps show sexuality in “self”.

After giving a brief introduction to her subject, Desmond quickly begins her analysis on the piece Radha choreographed by Ruth St. Denis. She states that St. Denis was one of the mothers of modern dance in America despite how her works are not as well remembered as others including Martha Graham’s. She depicts Radha by describing the dancing quality, patterns in choreography, lighting, set, and costume in detail. Desmond also recounts the social issues that are reflected in the piece including gender roles and race. The author’s main point in writing “Dancing Out the Difference: Cultural Imperialism and Ruth St. Denis’s Radha of 1906” was to introduce St. Denis and share her detailed analysis of St. Denis’ Radha.

Although Bausch’s dances show influences of both the German expressionist tradition and and the formalism of American dance of the sixties, she effectively disempowered both systems. In Bausch’s work, formal gestures become subjective as they accumulate the performers’ personal interpretations and new meanings with each

All types of communication interaction involve two major components in terms of how people are perceived: verbal, and nonverbal. These cues such as facial expressions, posture, verbal intonations, and other body gestures accompany our words in order to create a clear message. Every person is continuously communicating even when they are not saying a word, thus, it is possible to send an exclusively non verbal message but it is not possible to send an exclusively verbal message. Nonverbal cues in the interaction are always more powerful indicators of what a speaker means and what the speaker feels because non verbal cues have not been learned and therefore are not manipulated. In the movie Victor Victoria, nonverbal cues

Throughout the semester, we have been introduced to many topics related to interpersonal communication. I have come to believe that these concepts have allowed me to better understand interactions that occur in our daily lives. My knowledge of these concepts was challenged when asked to relate these notions to a movie. During the time that I was watching the movie, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, I realized myself grasping onto what was going on and being able to relate certain scenes and situations to topics I had previously learned about. Interactions in My Big Fat Greek Wedding display concepts of conflict and politeness theory, which can be pointed out in a few specific scenes.

“Unlike ballet choreographer”, who depend on a language with specific steps, “modern dancers create their own dance language” (Funk and Wagnalls, 2017). Thus, the dancers in the performances only use body language and did not talk while dancing except some words. The goal of this performance was to send a message for the audience through their dancing bodies and face expressions and may say some words. As an example, for that is what happen in the Finding Fire dance in which the dancers were telling about people relationships and love with each other and how other people feel about their relationship through only using their body language and face expression with only some words to tell whether they are happy, sad, or angry. In each dance they were representing different story for the audience. On the other hand, the players communication at The Skin of Our Teeth performance. Players communicate through talking,

Interactivity can be defined as when one or two users can perform action on the website that they are on. A more specific definition provided by, Techopedia, is “the communication process that takes place between humans and computer software.” (1). There are many examples of interactivity, some which may not be as obvious as others. Playing video games, flash websites, and even using objects on your computer such as the mouse and keyboard are examples of interactivity. The Electronic Literature Collection that I chose to discuss is Inanimate Alice. When I clicked on the website link, it brought me straight to interactivity. I was directed to use my mouse to use arrows to scroll the episode. As I was scrolling through the episode, there were

Despite its obvious scandalous, sensational content, Fanny still manages to abide by traditional roles assigned to women in the 18th Century, upheld and encouraged by the conduct literature. The scene that describes Fanny and the other girls of Mrs. Cole’s performing provides parallels to a polite dance at a ball.

The movements of the Humphrey's choreography are slow and precise, they pierce the space, creating a graceful pattern, while due to their tempo they imprint in the memory of audience. Her expression during the dance, while not speculating on dramatics, subtly and powerfully expresses ideas of both themes. The spiral movements, while being soft are able to convey the idea of expression. At the same time, the sharp angular movements of the second part deliver strife for action and balance. After watching the performance, the viewer realizes the inseparability of the action and expression in everyday life and appreciates the design of the dance (Doris Humphrey Technique: The Creative Potential “Two Ecstatic

Body language is used more than often that words, it is used as a sign to tell if someone is happy in the environment. Or if they are open to convocation. It can show confidence, anger, fear and more emotions that we can convey with words.
