Beginning solely by a haut instrument, Susato successfully conveyed a bright sonority to the first dance [Susato, Three dances. 0:00-0.06]. Added percussion instrument at the seventh second, the music was given its first touch to be vivid and plump. It was performed by outdoor woodwind bands including tabor, cornetto, sackbut, shawn, and tambourine. Though there are three dances contained in Susato’s work, and dances flowed from one another, it is not hard to distinguish because of their clearly full-stops between each part. Three dances, composed during Renaissance period(1551) by Susato, is a three rondes music in binary form(A-A-B-B). Its repeated melodies were played by permeant improvisers at that time to help enrich the music with colors

When the show actually began, it started with a digital green timer on the wall counting by the second, accompanied by Mr. Jones sitting at a desk with a desk lamp. He began to read a story as a single dancer in a pink long sleeved top danced beside him. This dancer was definitely the most memorable mover of the company due to her exquisite fluidity within her movement, as well as the desirable synchronization between her movements and the words of Mr. Jones’s voice throughout the piece. As the performance carried on, the other dancers performed various solos, duets, and quartets, of modern movement while Mr. Jones’s stories carried on.

The premiere of Witnesse, choreograph by Rebecca Lemme bring the audience to a gloomy opening and extraordinary set of stage. From the dimmed light to the dark green costumes wore by dancers, there is a particular set of spotlights that were slowly drawn on top of each dancer as they were laying on the floor. From the moment that the spotlight was hitting on each of performers’ faces, I came into the thought of life. Moreover, spotlights are the representation of the sun and the color of green associated with

The prestigious dance company located on the Manly Wharf, Walsh Bay supports a great following and appreciation of dance. Since 1985 the company has called The Wharf in Sydney’s Walsh Bay home. Being minutes from the city’s iconic Bridge and Opera House it gains a lot of attention by new comers to the city. Its studios can hold the most attending dance students in Australia, with nearly 80,000 attendances annually. An opportunity with a pre-professional course in dance was offered to dancers of the company during 2014. This would offer students the likelihood to gain experience with a number of Australia’s most well-known choreographers.

Her clothing, which falls in many layers, both obscures and reveals her figure. The only areas of her person which are visible are her eyes, both hands, and one extended foot. Even though only a minimal amount of skin is exposed, her heavy clothing does not necessarily entail a virginal or innocent demeanor. The express intent of her dancing is unclear. The heavy fabric which clings to her hips and sides could convey seduction.

“Ghost Dances has a tremendous impact and audiences in many countries have delighted in its distinctive rhythmic movement performed to haunting South American tunes. However, it is the representation of the oppression of ordinary people, symbolised by sinister ghost figures, which give the work much of its resonance.” (NSW Department of Education and Training) The Ballet dance, which also incorporates movements of contemporary and South American folk dance, entitled “Ghost Dancers” sends a message to the viewer that the oppression of everyday people (based on the Chilean Coup) is well represented throughout the dance, mostly due to the movement, costumes, sets, lighting, music and overall mood of the dance.

The female dancer re-enters the stage sans the blue shirt/shorts and repeats the gestures with a bit more feeling, and the male does the same thing after the female exits. The next time the female enters the stage, she is only in the colorful bra and black briefs. The male enters the stage in a black bra and colorful underwear. The color in the costumes sends a message of the differences between males and females, but the black undergarments lean towards blurring the lines of gender. The lights get brighter as clothing is shed. The two performers fully embody the gestures now, and seem to have more of an intimate connection with one another. The music constantly seems to be an underscore of the dance, but does not add much to it. The dancers share weigh and partner with more sensuality, and eventually are silhouetted with blue light as they return to gesture and awkward ballroom partnering. The lights fade as they continue to move.

Dance has been a natural movement form since the beginning of time. The origin of dance is unknown, just as the knowledge of the benefits of dance are unknown to many in our society. Many people do not enjoy dancing and also do not fully understand the positive benefits that come from dancing. Researchers such as Edwards, Duberg, and many more have found countless mental and emotional benefits of dance that originate from movement patterns, brain connections, and even expressions of emotion. Many are aware of the physical benefits of dance, but beyond the physical benefits of dance, there are also emotional and mental benefits that come from dance as well.

The Orchesis Dance Company was first instituted in 1948 by Catherine Jones Williams, under the Physical Education Department, where she was a physical education teacher in the Men’s Gymnasium. In the year 1957, there was an increase in the demand for performances at the University and other institutions in the surrounding areas and as a result, performances were given, at a halftime during athletic events. Consequently, the usage of more intense study techniques amplified, and performances became a precedence for the company. By this time the modern dance group was working to prove the capabilities of the body as an expressive instrument by displaying stunning feats of virtuosity. (Orchesis History, 2017).

In 1960, Pomare held his first major performance at the 92nd Street YMHA to favorable reviews. The following year he was awarded a John Hay Whitney Fellowship to study dance with Kurt Jooss in Essen, Germany. Pomare left the Jooss School and went on to reestablish the Eleo Pomare Dance Company, based in Amsterdam. He became a sensation in Europe. Using his own approach to choreography and teaching, he created his most celebrated works: Missa Luba, which combined the Catholic Mass with the music and voices of the Congolese Boys’ Choir; Blues for the Jungle, which depicted the history of African Americans from the earliest days of enslavement to the fight for equal rights in the 1960s; and Las Desenamoradas, which was inspired by Garcia Lorca’s
