Reaction Paper: Kinetics Festival 2012 (Thursday)

For four nights (September 25-28), the Department of Human Kinetics held recital performances from different dancing classes of PE2. The entire show was conducted to demonstrate what the students have learned in their respective classes as well as for the entertainment of the whole student body. During the 4th night, a number of sections of line dance, modern dance, belly dance and street jazz danced their feet off flaunting their acquired knowledge of callisthenic techniques. And for a whole hour the entire show was filled with laughter, amazement, and pure entertainment. The performances consisted majority of street jazz and modern dances. Each group presented satisfactorily. Inevitably, some routines were less synchronized and their moves were not showcased well-enough. There were also moments when the movements and dance steps lack power and distinction. However, these mishaps were the source of comedy for the audience rousing them more. In addition, it can be suggested that the other groups should have chosen more appropriate song accompaniment and costumes to liven up their exhibition. There was also a set of performers which obviously did not incorporate more original steps and seemed to have gotten their moves from an existing performance found on the internet or a video somewhere. No matter what, the whole show was very much entertaining. The small cost of the ticket for that event was so much worth the spectacle. The students may have been busy since they also have academic works to attend to, still, they managed to take time to practice, choreograph and present their respective numbers.

    A brief moment is seen in the first subsection – where the dancers break away from the tight formation and precise synchronisation and go into spontaneous looking duets and solos In the mean time the previously religious lyrics change to “there is trouble all over this world...”.

    The dance performance I chose to review was a recording of the performance Construct by Australian choreographer and dancer Tanja Liedtke. Construct was performed on April 2nd, 2009 in Seattle, Washington. The type of dance performed in Construct was contemporary modern. Though there were no actual stopping points, or named dances in this performance they did however have different sections of different dances with unique styles and props. The three sections I am going to write about really caught my attention and stood out to me because of how unique they were; I have never seen any dance performed in those particular ways.…

    I also noticed there were a lot of lifts and pointed toes when the male dancer carried and lifted his partner. Then another portion of the dance occurred after the previous dancer took their bows and the certain closed. The curtains then lifted and the lights turned on and the background turned into different colors. Then the dancers started appearing on stage and there was an abundance of dancers. The females in the performance were wearing different colors and so were the male dancers.…

    Choreography seemed pretty inconsistent for a play about dancers. While the choir in “Without Love” and Wilbur and Edna in “Timeless to Me” showed off some pretty impressive moves, a few performances left something to be desired physically. “Mama, I’m a Big Girl Now” and “The Big Doll House” both seemed like wasted opportunities; the choreography became repetitive and monotonous in those songs. In all fairness, it’s unreasonable to expect a flawless, complicated dance routine with every song, but those songs in particular needed a little something…

    Dancing is an art. It is a creative way for people to express their feelings through movements and rhythm. From the 19th century to the 21st, dancing has evolved from the traditional modern dancing featuring the waltz, to urban dancing including all pop, hip-hop, and freestyle dancing. During the twentieth century in America, dance became the main type of entertainment. Dance has been used to help keep many Americans gleeful during the country’s crises, economically and technologically. To express their reactions to these changes, Americans danced. As the society changed during the decades, so did the type of dance, creating new forms of entertainment that are now a part of our American history.…

    Collaboration dance pieces are always a joy to watch, especially when the performers dance as if it was their last performance. On December 11, 2013, I had a chance to witness the Collaboration Concert of the dance departments of the two phenomenal schools of Cass Technical High School and Renaissance High School. And may I state, both schools brought the talent that resembles that of professionals. The concert involved thirteen performances of the young, but talented dancers. Renaissance Dance Workshop, Cass Tech Dance Workshop, Renaissance Dance 5, Cass Tech Dance 5, and Cass Tech Dance 3 performed.…

    Dance is the reason I exist and as cheesy as it sounds its true. In 1982 my father met my mother at a dance club. He said after watching her dancing with her friends he had to talk to her. Dance has the power to cross boundaries and touch one’s soul. As a form dance can be anything. Rain falling into a pound, an individual tying their shoe, a swan boureeing across a stage or man rolling across a stage can all be dance. Dance is a series of movements stitched together with an intent and frame. Weather the intent is to express emotion, showcase technique, or make a statement it is all dance.…

    The majority of the students had a fun and enjoyable lesson which was one of the objectives of the class. The other objective was to know what a ‘dynamic’ is in dance. I feel all students had a clear understanding of this by the end of the session and demonstrated different dynamics in dance and could also talk about this at the end of the session.…
