Ndani Research Paper

Given that this “visit” was more like a virtual experience, I was still able to access a couple of my senses, just as if I was at the actual exhibition. Through the use of anecdotes and detailed images, I am able to see all of the personal experiences an individual had while practicing a particular dance and what it meant to them. In this exhibition, there are ten different dances displayed, including the: Yup´ik Yurapiaq and the Quyana (Thank You) Song Dance, Yakama Girl’s Fancy Shawl Dance, Cubeo Óyne Dance, Yoreme Pajko’ora Dance, Mapuche Mütrüm Purun, Tlingit Ku.éex ' Entrance Dance, Lakota Men’s Northern Traditional Dance, Seminole Stomp Dance, Hopi Butterfly Dance, and finally, Quechua Danza de Tijeras (Scissor Dance). All parts of the exhibit were insightful, but the two that sparked my interest the most were the Yup´ik Yurapiaq and the Quyana (Thank You) Song Dance and the Quechua Danza de Tijeras (Scissor Dance).

Started out as a failing student with no burning desire to do any prodigious. Jasper, just like all the others, did not want to go through the trouble to lucubrate and improve himself. Until three years ago, in 2013 when he moved in with his uncle, Rick Lien, who was able to turn him from a scanty student to a straight A student over the course of two months changed his life forever. This alone was a huge improvement for Jasper, but that was not all. Rick taught Jasper about stocks and options to help him be more independent, although at first, Jasper showed no interest in the subject matter, but through personal experience after Jasper made his first successful trade, he

For Lionel Naraidu, a retired NYPD police officer born to a poverty-stricken family, “being part of American society,” chartered the saga of his life. Naraidu, a Guyanese immigrant, who is the youngest of 15 children, was raised in blue-collar Queens Village, New York. Embracing, “the values many men and women lost their lives for, like having an education, a home, a decent job, and a good community,” ultimately nurtured his servanthood and patriotism.

Civil and human rights leader, the late Minoru Yasui, is another person to receive the Presidency Medal of Freedom. Minoru went to law school and he graduated from the University of Oregon. A long part of his life was devoted to the military curfew implemented during World War II because Japanese Americans were under a curfew and were forced to live in concentration camps. Minoru deliberately went out after curfew and he was arrested. He took a stand against the curfew claiming it was racially unjust against Japanese Americans. However, that didn’t stop him from caused him to spend nine months in solitary confinement. He continued to fight for the injustice and died in 1987, unable to overturn the conviction.

All of the performances were beautiful and I loved how they all displayed a different story. The thing about the dances is that they all were very fluid and moved and danced with so much emotion. One performance that stuck out to me was City of Rain. The choreographer is Camille Brown. Camille Brown is a dance educator,director,dancer, and a choreographer. She began her career in Ronald k. Brown’s evidence, A dance company. Her performances and choreography has won her the Bessie nomination for Best Performance. Aside from City of Rain, Camille has created works such as Good & Grown, The Groove to Nobody’s Business, and Mr.TOL E. RAnCE. On Camille Brown’s webpage her mission statement says that her company wants to “present authentic performances that foster dialogue among audiences and local communities to instill a sense of curiosity and appreciation for the live arts experience in a social and aesthetic context”. So

The Nile River also benefitted Nubia because it provided rainfall in the hot, and dry weather. The Egyptian government adapted from the Nubian language and religion, which is one of the way Nubia had a great impact on Egypt. Meroë was a huge city that was famous for agriculture and trade. In their royal family, women, Nubian queens, had more than usual control of the kingdom than in other places.

There is a risk of C. gattii in tropical areas and the Pacific Northwest. There are many factors that contribute to this risk. How it is transmitted, environmental causes, locations of infection, and prevention. It is important to understand the risk before traveling so you don’t become infected. To learn more about this risk we will look at areas in which the fungi exists, who’s susceptible, and how to keep from getting sick.

In Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman and Mythology by Edith Hamilton, there are many ways in which characters from both books are similar and different. One of the closest connections I saw was between Spider from Anansi Boys and Loki from Mythology. Loki and Spider were not gods, but they were sons of supernatural beings. Furthermore, wherever Spider and Loki went, trouble usually followed and they both paid for the trouble they caused through torture in two different ways. It seems that Neil Gaiman modeled Spider after Loki from Norse mythology because of all of their similarities.

We went to see this last evening (opening night for this program) and were blown away. Never having seen anything on the program before, I didn't know what to expect, but each piece was magnificent. Stanton Welch's "Tu Tu" seems to me to be a kind of personal love song to ballet. The opening and overall structure reminded me of Ashton's "Sinfonietta" with a very energetic first movement followed by a stunningly beautiful slow movement and then a fast and again more lighthearted finale. It was the second movement that amazed me the most. A solo ballerina slowly emerges from darkness and seems to reflect on her career as a ballerina with tenderness and sadness. The mood of this piece was masterfully created. It was beautifully and

I must say that my hole spring quarter has been dedicated to deepening my overall understanding of West-African dance alone. In preparation this to study with the Urban Bush this summer I wanted to make sure that I was able to develop a stronger foundation in my West-African dance technique this quarter. My Mondays and Wednesday from 2:00-6:30 were dedicated to Professor Parker's ( Makeda- Kumasi) West-African dancing and drumming classes held at UCR. I also seeked outside the classroom to gain a community experience of this dance genre so that I could compare and contrast the similarities and differences I found. My goals were to truly embody the many elements that are associated in this dance genre. In my discoveries I was able to

One thing that immediately came up was the fact that the dance appeared to be a blend of cultures and styles. This is accurate because USF Naach is a Bollywood fusion group and so the songs we use include both English and Hindi songs; we also include elements of classical Indian dance styles (Bharatanatyam), bhangra, raas, contemporary, and hip-hop. I hadn’t really considered the cultural blend as much with this particular performance until I heard others point it out; another dance we do has a storyline that is much more focused on the differing cultural values of India and America and this is the one I had associated with cultural blending. After the studio I was thinking about how relevant fusion dancing is today in America because many of us grew up not entirely fitting into either the traditional Indian or American cultural norms, while others grew up in India and experienced a drastic change when they came to the US. Thus, fusion provides a balance between the two

The choreographer created this piece in the vein of Dance Theater, with many similarities to other pieces of the time. The moves are straight out of ballet, although it is a bit unusual to see large male’s demi-pointe. I wonder if they practiced this stereotypically feminine move before this production? There also seems to be more freedom and disruption in this piece as opposed to a Royal Ballet. And yet, there is no overly styled moves set to a specific beat as in the Dido piece. From the video the emphasis is always on the movement of the conglomeration of dancers, as opposed to the facial ‘moves’.

The performance appeared to represent a jazz, lyrical interpretative manner. The outfits also portrayed that to be contemporary and even futuristic. The movements of the dancers was very precise, quick and multiple, while occurring at the same time. The most interesting thing while watching the video was, the dancers were playing off of one another in a very timely
