English 259.403 Topics in Modernism: German Expressionism 1900-1945 TR 10:30-12 Marion Kant mkant2@english.upenn.edu This course examines the development of modern German dance as one of the foremost forces to articulate a new language of the body at the beginning of the twentieth century. It is also known as expressionist dance. The course will focus on the notion of "modernity" and compare different concepts of modern dance from the beginning of the twentieth century until 1933: within the German dance world and within other modernist movements such as futurism, DADA or surrealism. It will examine how expressionist modernism was evaluated by the Nazis and how and why they thought of some modernist art as 'degenerate' and other art as acceptable. We shall also look at the theoretical and practical responses to Nazism by artists. We shall study the impact of the formal properties, theoretical frames and general ideas on subsequent dance history by studying several of the most important representatives of expressionist dance and their choreographies: Rudolf von Laban, Mary Wigman, Kurt Jooss, Oskar Schlemmer, Valeska Gert. Students will work with their writings, designs, videos and other material to understand the relationship between ideas and artistic expression. Students will also be introduced to expressionist music, literature, theatre and fine arts and asked to consider their relationship to dance.

It was decided that they were going to improvise to the music of the First Take (hence the title of the choreography) of "Kind of Blue" by Miles Davis. This all doesn't sound like such a big deal for a (pre)graduate project, and visually it wasn't. It's the awareness of what has preceded it, the knowledge of the roots of its soul, that makes for a much more interesting visual experience. De Keersmaeker, celebrated choreographer of the Belgian contemporary dance-company Rosas, has in the past years developed an increasing interest in jazz music. Live jazz music formed the backbone of her most recent creation for Rosas, "Bitches Brew/ Tacoma Narrows". With jazz came an increased interest in improvisation: Jazz musicians improvise, jazz is an improvisatory art, so when we dance to jazz, we dancers will improvise just like the musicians do. As for me personally, jazz music isn't really my thing. The only halfway jazz-inspired records in my record-collection are a Soul Coughin cd, a tape of Red Snapper songs, a handful of Drum N' Bass songs full of looped jazzy upright bass samples, and a few songs from Bjork's "Gling Glo" (where she sings several jazz-classics in translated in Islandic!). As for pure, undiluted jazz, I simply don't like that music.

Festival by Lewis Whittington January 21 - February 8, 2004 Wilma Theater, Philadelphia In the eloquent prologue to the 3rd annual DanceBoom! Festival, Japanese choreographer Kenshi Nohmi and Hiromi Karube from Dance Theatre 21 performed with Manfred Fischbeck's legendary hometown troupe Group Motion. Nohmi and Karube, dressed in stark white tees and tai-chi pants, broke through to the circles of light with hypnotic isometric movements which ended with a third dancer in an upstage spotlight, and the three splayed their bodies and simply rolled their heads. Gidon Kremer's rich strings of Bach disintegrated to an industrial sound field as other dancers took over the stage. Nohmi's alternately romantic and stark patterns gave Group Motion's dancers atypically lush transitions and an overall joyous flow. GM regularly produces dramatic, thought provoking content, but here they have never created more serenely beautiful dance. Once again DanceBoom! occupied the uptown Wilma Theater on the Avenue of the Arts for 3½ weeks of what curator Nick Stuccio calls a "snapshot" of the independent, avant-garde, and cultural dance scene in Philadelphia. This is certainly a modest assessment by Stuccio, who also steers the dance-heavy Fringe Festival in the summer. The rest of the year, he scouts dance artists worldwide and now annually brings choreographers and dancers to Philly's downtown theater audience to heat up those cold January nights.

"My dear girl, go home and be a Hausfrau - you'll be happier," a teacher once assured me. "You'll never be a dancer." But I had to dance. There was nothing else I wanted to do. - Mary Wigman from Walter Sorell The Mary Wigman Book In spite of this advice, in spite of her age (25), and in spite of her inappropriate body type ("bony, strong, [and] vigorous"), Mary Wigman decided in 1911 to become a dancer (Wigman 28). By 1925 she was the dance world's "towering figure," and by 1930 her name had become synonymous with the New German (modern) dance (Kuxdorf 352). The editor of Der Tanz wrote in 1927: "Wigman's dances are not only remote from the ordinary world, not only superhuman, but absolute" (Green 195). In order to create the possibility for such radical transformation, a hierarchy between appearance and essence, or material and spirit had to be posited, in which the spiritual firmly occupied the higher level. This division proposed that nature was "a construction which our mind imposes on phenomena" (Sokel 9). Kurt Pinthus, writing in 1919, articulated this theme of Expressionism:

NEWSLETTER LETTERS HOME inter Sections Spring 1994 Wigman, like Nolde, found an absolute ground in the experience of perceiving something greater than the individual, in which fragmentation was resolved into an experience of community and unity. An anecdote that Wigman related in a 1931 Boston Globe interview reveals this paradoxical aspect of the expressionist ideology, which becomes apparent when it is put into practice. She stated: If my dance awakes a reaction, an experience, a pleasure, visual or emotional, it is satisfactory. A woman once said to me, "Do you know, when you were executing your dervish movements I understood the dance. You were a witch picking daisies in a field. I actually saw the daisies. That was it, wasn't it?" Now what could I say to this woman? If she thought I was picking daisies, well, all right. But I thought I was dancing. (Sorell 145) Mary Wigman is to be credited for what she actually achieved: the creation of a new, immensely popular dance form, which had consequences both on and off the stage. Wigman is also implicated in the world view that her work and writings supported, and the effect that entity had on society. Tibor Kneif's criticism of Ernst Bloch, which could easily be leveled at the majority of Expressionist artists, illuminates a most troublesome aspect of this world view. Kneif asserts, with regard to Bloch's expressionist utopia, the need to create a "conceptual setting" that

Hummingbird Centre,1 Front E. $28-$70. 872-2262. BY REBECCA TODD The first time I ever saw European dance theatre was in 1987 in L.A., in the Lyon Opera Ballet's performance of French choreographer Maguy Marin's Cendrillon, a remake of Cinderella . As my introduction to European expressionism, it was a revelation. The dance was set in a giant dollhouse and performed in masks. The dancers used their bodies in a way that was more affecting than anything I'd seen in dance all naked emotion, with the subtext writ large. This week, the Lyon Opera Ballet visits Toronto with an evening of choreography by another European expressionist Swedish choreographer Mats Ek. The Lyon Opera Ballet is unusual in that it's a classically trained company devoted entirely to performing the work of contemporary choreographers. "You could say we're classical dancers who don't want to do classical stuff any more, and are open to learning new techniques," says artistic director Yorgos Loukos interviewed by phone from France.

BY REBECCA TODD It seems contradictory to make dance about language, but leave it to the French to try. And leave it to Maguy Marin to actually pull it off. When I first saw Maguy Marin's Lyon-based company perform 11 years ago, it was a revelation. I had just arrived in L.A. and found myself in a world where dance was cool, casual and virtuoso, stressing speed and endurance, irony and pastiche (this was the late '80s, after all). I was young and romantic and, uncool though it was, I craved emotional performance something with its guts hanging out. Compagnie Maguy Marin's performance at the Los Angeles Arts Festival was my first live taste of the European expressionism that had been horrifying American critics. One of the works they performed was May B , a dance theatre piece based on the writings of Samuel Beckett. The movement was pared down simple, repetitive and intense, unapologetically emotional but not in a simple way, and never corny. For me, the choreographer had managed to distill something I couldn't put into words, but which was at the heart of Beckett's writing.

Typical characteristics of expressionism Expressionism seems to be the expression of lifestyle of a new generation, which only agreed with disapproval of the social and politic structures. The point is not only the sensual or decorative style of the appearance, but also the psychical, mental and social analysis. Expressionism aims at the emotional aspect. It wants to convey the inner expression, and it does not matter if it deals with landscapes, daily objects or persons. The big contrast to expressionism are the bright, friendly colours of impressionism. All the problems of the new age of industry on the one hand the expansion of the city on the other hand, the loneliness of the people are topics in which art is very engaged . "The mask" (painted by Ensor , a painter from Belgium) is a symbol of alteration, laughing is the expression of absurdity, the coloured costumes are symbols of the vanity of the figures: creatures without faces, which are not able to see or to recognize, only strong in groups. James Ensor (1860-1944), "The Mask".
