Dancers' Perceptions of Accessibility and Quality of the Relationship with Healthcare Professionals in Quebec.

To understand dancers' perception of accessibility to care and quality of the relationship with healthcare practitioners in Quebec; to identify the key elements of an optimal dancer-physician relationship; and to propose recommendations for improvement. An online questionnaire consisting of multiple choice, "yes/no," and short answer questions was sent to professional dance organizations, companies, agencies, and schools in Quebec, Canada. Information regarding the dance artists' sociodemographics, dance background, dance-related injuries, and access to a primary care physician were collected. Experiences and expectations regarding the dancer-physician relationship were surveyed. One-way ANOVA analyses and Pearson correlations were performed to assess differences of perception between dancers' demographic characteristics and associations between the variables. Out of 161 participants, 144 met inclusion criteria, consisting of largely French-speaking females, North American or European decent, self-employed contemporary dancers with an average age of 33.13 ± 10.81 yrs. Dance artists sought medical care from osteopaths (47.9%) and physiotherapists (36.1%) more frequently than from physicians (8.3%). Fully employed dancers had more favorable perceptions of the dancer-physician relationship compared to self-employed dancers and those who had mixed streams of income. The perception of most participants was that physicians do not comprehend the unique dance-associated impacts on health (81.8%). The most important aspect affecting perception of the relationship with the physician was diagnostic acumen (41.3%). Most participants (79.0%) selected "works with other health professionals [...] and gives expert advice" as an important expectation from physicians. This research is the first investigation of the dancer-physician relationship in Quebec. It reveals a desire amongst the dance artist community to improve the dancer-physician relationship and the overall quality of their unique healthcare requirements.

Site Specific Dance: Relationship Between Body and Space

The art of dance has experienced tremendous development. Now, dance is no longer in the realm of fairies, but has entered the center of modern civilization, from pockets of tradition shifting to pockets of industry and academia. This cannot be separated from the role of academic dancers who conduct research, both creation studies and scientific studies. Dance has become a laboratory object in the studios of art academics in Indonesia and various parts of the world, so that laboratories and dance studios have sprung up in various places in Indonesia. Dance is now seen as not only cultivating the soul, dance is no longer limited to aesthetic beauty that is visible to the eye. However, dance has explored other art worlds, such as theater and fine arts.It is now difficult to distinguish between dance and theater presentations. This phenomenon is often the trend of individual artists. Art observers call this phenomenon a contemporary phenomenon. Contemporary phenomena continue to develop in artists and academic circles. In addition to being critical of the social issues that surround it, contemporary art is also critical of its own art. The contemporary spirit does not only break the barriers of one art discipline, but also across art disciplines. Almost all dance elements are explored and developed, one of which is site specific dance. A contemporary dance genre that focuses on creating dance works using special places.This research used artistic research methods, in which the researcher is also the creator of site specific dance works.

Ola Skanks: Delayed Recognition of a Dance Artist Ahead of Her Time

This essay chronicles my research relationship with choreographer, teacher, educator, and activist Ola Skanks. Canadian-born and of West Indian (St. Lucia and Barbados) descent, Skanks was a groundbreaking dance and fashion design artist who combined modern, Western art forms with traditional dances of the Africa diaspora. I share excerpts from my work to date, including my archival exhibition, It’s About Time: Dancing Black in Canada 1900–1970, to provide context for the circumstances that Black people danced in, socially and/or as performers. This is followed by a selection of photos from Skanks’s archival collection that illustrate the scope of her creative and community contributions. In conclusion, I offer a transcription of a speech I gave when Skanks was inducted into the Dance Collection Danse’s 2018 Encore! Dance Hall of Fame, alongside some of Canada’s most well-known dance artists and community builders. I detail some of the highlights of my meetings with her and also the profundity of the delayed recognition of a woman so far ahead of her time.

북한 혁명무용의 이해

This study began with the hope of peaceful unification through communication in the culture and arts world, which was completely blocked by differences in ideology between the two Koreas. Through the three dictatorships, we looked at the evolutionary process of dance and found that the common aspect was the creative form for revolution. Although North Korea''s ethnic dance has been transformed into a North Korean folk dance, the unique nature of South Korean works remains. In particular, historical homogeneity could be found in dance using props. It has been confirmed that North Korean dance art was not just an art field, but a means of thought, religion, and political propaganda. It has been confirmed that the method of inter-Korean exchange becomes culture and art, and I hope this study will serve as a cornerstone for peaceful unification.

This article reviews a book by the German art historian and dance researcher Gabriele Klein, Pina Bausch. The Art of Translation, one of the first monographs on Pina Bausch to be published in Russian (see also the book published by Garage in 2021). The key concept of the book is the praxeology of translation, which addresses not the subject of translation, but the way it is performed. Thus translation is understood in a broad way as the transfer of the Wuppertal Dance Theatre event into the languages of the audience and critics, into other technical media, into other cultural and historical contexts.
