Dance and Architecture: Spatiality and Orientation
[ send me this paper ]
17 pages in
length. Within dance, as within architecture, there is a
continuum between space and time. As a dancer dances, the
central part of the body is in unique correlation with the limbs,
and the spatiality between all parts creates an art form which is
the dance itself. The dance is not merely a series of movements,
just as architecture is not merely a series of buildings. The
entirety of the work is determined not only by the positive
spaces, i.e., the body or the buildings, but by the negative
spaces as well. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Dance Patterns" Johann Sebastian Bach's French Suites
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Baroque dance patterns are typically associated with Bach's French suites, a style of movement that is quite indicative of its time period. The stiff, rigid, unyielding movement so characteristic of the dance patterns of Bach's French suites reflect a period of time when self-expression was exchanged for a more mutually derived expression. The reserved format of these particular Baroque dance patterns mirror the reserved attitudes of the era, in that they are comprised of repetitive, monotonous movements without the presence of flair and individual
expression that is depicted by the appearance of more contemporary German composers. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
