Impact of Dance and Movement on Stress and Mental Health

Today, dance and movement have also become fundamental elements of artistic performances - be it solo presentations, duet performances or even group performances; thus leading to the formation of different dance forms and styles with certain rules and regulations. Several research papers, over a span of many years, suggest that dance and movement have potential healing effects. Therapeutic movement has recently been known to manage stress, anxiety, symptoms of depression, and other mental health disorders. However, an interest in the systematic evaluation of the psychotherapeutic impact of dance and movement based modalities in different population settings in the context of psychotherapy is relatively recent. (C. Quiroga Murcia et al., 2010).Dancing and movement have become an integral part of our lives. For many, it is a medium to express their emotions; for some people, it is now a source of income and livelihood. Over time, dance and movement have evolved from tools and driving force that built societal relationships, to performance art-forms with choreographic roles on-stage and off-stage, to a formally recognised mode of therapy practice - known as Dance / Movement Therapy - an arts-based psychotherapeutic intervention that aims to facilitate the integration of the physical and psychological aspects of human beings.

Fast and Clean: Auditable high-performance assembly via constraint solving

Handwritten assembly is a widely used tool in the development of highperformance cryptography: By providing full control over instruction selection, instruction scheduling, and register allocation, highest performance can be unlocked. On the flip side, developing handwritten assembly is not only time-consuming, but the artifacts produced also tend to be difficult to review and maintain – threatening their suitability for use in practice.In this work, we present SLOTHY (Super (Lazy) Optimization of Tricky Handwritten assemblY), a framework for the automated superoptimization of assembly with respect to instruction scheduling, register allocation, and loop optimization (software pipelining): With SLOTHY, the developer controls and focuses on algorithm and instruction selection, providing a readable “base” implementation in assembly, while SLOTHY automatically finds optimal and traceable instruction scheduling and register allocation strategies with respect to a model of the target (micro)architecture.We demonstrate the flexibility of SLOTHY by instantiating it with models of the Cortex-M55, Cortex-M85, Cortex-A55 and Cortex-A72microarchitectures, implementing the Armv8.1-M+Helium and AArch64+Neon architectures. We use the resulting tools to optimize three workloads: First, for Cortex-M55 and Cortex-M85, a radix-4 complex Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) in fixed-point and floating-point arithmetic, fundamental in Digital Signal Processing. Second, on Cortex-M55, Cortex-M85, Cortex-A55 and Cortex-A72, the instances of the Number Theoretic Transform (NTT) underlying CRYSTALS-Kyber and CRYSTALS-Dilithium, two recently announced winners of the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography standardization project. Third, for Cortex-A55, the scalar multiplication for the elliptic curve key exchange X25519. The SLOTHY-optimized code matches or beats the performance of prior art in all cases, while maintaining compactness and readability.

Personal Perspective through Digital Art in Contemporary Theatre and Performance

Using certain camera techniques and visual effects have been proven means of showing personal perspective in movies throughout the years. However, little research has been done with regard to such means of portraying a personal perspective in theatre. Therefore, we propose a theoretical study of the field, in order to outline previous work. Moreover, we will base our theoretical frame on three contemporary examples: (a) The encounter, directed by Simon McBurney, where the personal experience is shown through the use of aural effects and the audience closing and opening their eyes, creating a distancing or immersion effect; (b) Ubu Roy, directed by Declan Donnellan, where the personal perspective of the character is shown through a mix of digital and non-digital means, such as a first person camera and changing the movement-style of the actors; (c) The Loneliness of Stones, directed by Gelu Badea, in which the personal perspective is shown through projecting both abstract and non-abstract visual elements on stage, along with the use of a first-person camera. Through comparing these three productions which have very different aesthetics, we can better isolate the concrete instruments used by directors to change the perspective from an objective one to a subjective one in theatre. This procedure is harder in performance art than in film, due to the limitations of theatrical means. The conclusion of our presentation is that digital art is used in theatre to show the personal perspective of the characters, the cast and the directors. We argue that it is exactly because theatre has limited means of perspective-shift in comparison to film that theatre makers use technical and digital solutions for this specific staging need.

Khidmat Dabuih Nagari Situjuah Gadang Kecamatan Situjuah Limo Nagari

Dabuih is a performance art that is Islamic religious in nature where in this art it shows the attraction of the body's immunity from various objects that can injure. As an art form with Islamic nuances, debuih performances are of course related to religious values. These religious values can be identified from several things, including the use of remembrance and recitation of several verses of the Koran. In this work of composition "KHIDMAT" which originates from the art of Dabuih Situjuah, it is divided into three parts. The first part focuses on dikia's vocal work, part two is composed by rabano and part 3 is a combination of vocals and rabano. In the form of a performance of the composition "KHIDMAT" a deep devotion and inspiration becomes a work achievement so that it can be realized.

Erotic Remembrance in (Digital) Vigils for Asian Migrant Massage/Sex Workers #Songyang and #8liveslost

Abstract: Song Yang, an Asian migrant massage/sex worker in Flushing, New York, fell to her death from a fourth-floor building when police raided her massage spa in 2017, and in 2021 six Asian migrant massage/sex workers were killed in the Atlanta spa shootings by a white supremacist. Their deaths have led Asian American and migrant sex workers and allies to create in-person and online vigils where they transform grief and pain into love and care for sex workers, and challenge racial and sexual forms of violence against Asian women that occur under the guise of anti-sex work and trafficking movements. Based on in-person and digital performance ethnography, this research proposes a theoretical framework of "Erotic Remembrance" to affirm the ways in which spiritual and artistic performances in these vigils spark political action to deconstruct the anti-sex work and human trafficking frameworks and imagine a better world for Asian migrant massage/sex workers.

Please Don’t Touch the Artwork

Choreographer and performance-maker Faye Driscoll’s performance installation Come On In (2020) offered spectators an aesthetic experience that included very little physical contact—yet investigated deeply the nature of physical touch. The sensation, artistic implications, and sociopolitical valences of touch provoke a rich and complex set of questions for considering artistic, physical, and gendered forms of control across performance and visual art, including abstract sculpture, a history into which Driscoll’s installation intervenes.

Redistancing Romanticism: Kent Monkman, Indigenous Perspectives, and the Art of History

Abstract: Over the last decade, Cree visual and performance artist Kent Monkman has undertaken an innovative and searching exploration of Romantic painting. Yet, the centrality of Romanticism in his oeuvre has hitherto been misunderstood. Drawing on the resources of Romantic historiography, he modulates historical distance—sympathetic proximity and cerebral distanciation—not only to "redistance" history to meet contemporary needs, but to complicate the movements of identification and alienation. Monkman's work may be ironic, but his is a strangely compassionate irony in which the relationship between European and non-Indigenous peoples is framed with a delicate hope for sincere reconciliation.

Review of Breathing Aesthetics by Jean-Thomas Tremblay (Duke University Press)

Jean-Thomas Tremblay's Breathing Aesthetics draws our attention to how respiration as a cultural analytic maps the uneven distribution of risk in our contemporary moment. Intervening at the intersection of queer theory and the environmental humanities, Tremblay deciphers an archive of cultural texts that range from CAConrad's ritualized poetry to Ana Mendieta's elemental performance art and Toni Cade Bambara's novel The Salt Eaters. In so doing, they reveal an understanding of how breath registers precarity across race, gender, and disability, while also serving as a mechanism for healing and care. This discerning analysis, combined with a focus on the exchange between body and milieu, makes a case for respiration as a distinctly ecological and embodied relation. Ultimately, Breathing Aesthetics provides crucial insight into how aesthetic expressions of respiratory variations evidence a tension between morbidity and vitality within bodies whose ability to breathe is most endangered.

The artification of whirling derviches in France between the religious and the artistic

Utilizing the theoretical framework of artification, this study analyzes the transformation of Sufi dance from a traditional religious practice to a staged artistic performance. Ethnographic observations and case studies conducted between 2018 and 2023 have identified four ideal types of discourse surrounding Sufi dance, ranging from traditional discourses to total artification, where religious meaning is displaced by artistic and aesthetic purposes. The article also examines the methods of teaching spinning movements, Sufi workshop audiences, and marketing strategies used by artists to gain recognition in both religious and artistic fields. Finally, the study explores the tension between traditional authority and dancers’ professional careers outside Sufi institutions. This research illuminates the complex dynamics of competition and cooperation that shape the relationship between art and spirituality within the Sufi tradition in contemporary France.

THE EXISTENCE OF GAYO ART BEYOND ITS TRADITIONAL REALM: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY IN BANDA ACEH

Gayo art is one of the folk arts of Aceh originating from Tanoh Gayo, Central Aceh. Gayo art serves as popular entertainment and a means of Islamic missionary for the dissemination and development of Islam in the Banda Aceh region. This art is often featured in weddings, circumcision ceremonies, festivals, and other events. The focused types of art are performance arts, such as Gayo dances (Saman, Bines, Guel, and others), music, and poetry. The research findings indicate that the development of Gayo art in Banda Aceh has progressed after being regularly and systematically showcased several times. Gayo art is popular and appreciated in Banda Aceh because, during performances, it is not only unique and beautiful to witness, but it also involves various forms of artistic attractions such as didong and bersebuku. This captivating attraction draws the attention of the community to organize and attend Gayo art performances held on various art stages in Banda Aceh.

Enhancing performance through music selection and thematic presentation in marching band competition: A case study in Pekan Olahraga Provinsi (PORPROV) XIV Jawa Barat

This study analyzes the performance of the West Bandung Regency contingent at the Pekan Olahraga Provinsi (PORPROV) XIV Jawa Barat. It specifically focuses on how the strategic integration of music selection and thematic presentation might improve the overall performance. The marching band sport involves teams competing in four competitions. The competitions include Lomba Baris Berbaris (LBB) Marching Competition, Lomba Unjuk Gelar (LUG), Lomba Berbaris Jarak Pendek / Short Distance Marching Competition (LBJP), and Lomba Ketahanan dan Ketepatan Berbaris (LKKB) / The Endurance and Accuracy Marching Competition. In order to effectively engage audiences and judges, bands must enhance and perfect their aesthetic and thematic techniques as the level of competition increases. The study utilized a qualitative research methodology, which involved active involvement and careful observation for analysis. We participated in marching band activities and closely observed practices and performances in order to acquire a thorough comprehension of the aesthetic and conceptual components. Data were gathered via observations, and discussions and examined using an analytical framework rooted in the literature on music aesthetics and performance art. This framework evaluated the elements of melody, harmony, rhythm, and visual depiction. The results emphasize the significance of carefully choosing music, maintaining theme consistency, and using visual components to provide a captivating performance. The topic chosen by the West Bandung contingent, "Flight and Movement," together with their smart selection of music, showcased the ability of thoughtful curation and dynamic arrangements to amplify the story and emotional resonance. The utilization of intensive rehearsals and coordinated visual elements had a pivotal role in attaining elevated levels of audience engagement and competitive triumph.

문화예술분야 사회적기업 성과지표에 대한 탐색적 연구

Arts and cultural social enterprises are organizations that create diverse social values through cultural activities. This study aims to explore performance indicators for arts and cultural social enterprises to enhance our understanding of their performance and investigate their sustainability. To this end, we reviewed and synthesized literature on arts and cultural social enterprises both domestically and internationally, focusing on the Social Value Index (SVI) and the Art & Culture Social Performance Evaluation Model (ARC-SPEM) currently in use. This synthesis informed the proposal of new performance indicators spanning social, economic, and artistic dimensions. Subsequently, a survey among arts and cultural social enterprise experts and a hierarchical analysis process (AHP) were conducted. The analysis highlighted the relatively recognized importance of social performance indicators compared to economic and artistic ones. ‘Cultural welfare and appreciation’ and ‘arts and cultural education’ emerged as priorities in the social dimension; ‘providing jobs for artists’ was prominent in the economic dimension; and ‘art as a social activity’—which employs art to generate diverse values— was underscored in the artistic dimension. However, a case study on the current performance measurement practices of arts and cultural social enterprises in Korea revealed inconsistencies in the criteria, terminology, and categories used across organizations, along with a lack of comprehensive quantitative and qualitative data for appropriate performance assessment. We conclude that to ensure the sustainability of arts and cultural social enterprises, it is crucial to concurrently consider the peculiarities of art jobs, donations and sponsorships, service-oriented activities, and genre-specific value chains from social, economic, and artistic perspectives. Furthermore, artistic performance indicators not only impact artistic outputs but also influence social and economic outcomes, highlighting the need to acknowledge each organization’s unique artistic nature. This study’s significance lies in its systematic and comprehensive identification of performance indicators, acknowledging the unique attributes of arts and cultural social enterprises. It provides a foundation for revisiting previously overlooked performance metrics and facilitates communication with various stakeholders by introducing new artistic performance indicators tailored to the arts and cultural sector.

Contemporary Media Art Performance under the Visual Threshold of Interpretation

Purpose - Introduce contemporary media art, study the virtual representation forms of contemporary media art, and deeply explore the artistic meanings expressed by their forms of expression.
 Design/Methodology/Approach - Based on the characteristics of artistic expression such as innovation and interactivity, this article applies the three elements of understanding, interpretation, and application in hermeneutics theory to interpret multimedia art works.
 Findings - This article analyzes contemporary media art works from three dimensions of hermeneutics: understanding, interpretation, and application. The conclusion is that artists express their desire for balance and wisdom, their perception of the world's spiritual state through multimedia forms, and also enable readers to associate and make independent judgments about the works, thereby exploring their own spiritual world and perceptual experience. At the same time, participants themselves are also creating meaning, interpreting value, completing perception, determining intention, and jointly explaining the humanistic value and responsibility of the work with the artist.
 Research Implications - The study of cultural communication at the visual level plays an important role in the development of social information. Multimedia image visual art has been integrated into daily aesthetic life in the form of popular culture, becoming the most important carrier for exploring artistic life. This article combines theory and practice, using typical art cases for specific analysis, in order to better apply contemporary multimedia art theory to artistic creation, and provide fresh materials and beneficial attempts for the research of digital media art application theory.

The synthetic nature of the violinist-performer’s professionalism (on the material of L. Spohr’s “Violin school”)

Statement of the problem. The modern academic violin performance art is an extensive and multi-level phenomenon. Musicians choose one or another direction of self-realization (soloist, ensemble or quartet player, orchestra artist), achieving a certain level of mastery in it. Such a narrowing of specialization, determined by the history of musical art, on the one hand, helps to increase the level of professionalism, and on the other hand, it ruins the integrity of the figure of the performer in the perception of musicians and listeners. The scientific literature devoted to the issues of violin performance in various roles is quite extensive and versatile and makes it possible to understand certain aspects of a musician’s creative life. Recently researches by L. Bishop et al. (2021), E. B. Horwitz et al. (2021), E. Cho (2021), and others gives a chance to understand the creative life of a violinist in a fragmented way, stimulating the desire to achieve a certain integrity when considering the stated problem. Objectives, methods, and novelty of the research. The purpose of the study is to consider the synthetic nature of the violinist’s professionalism and its manifestation in various directions of his / her creative realization. The cognitive apparatus of the study is based on the combination of historical-theoretical, structural-functional, comparative, hermeneutic, and systemic methods of analysis, owing to which the synthetic nature of the violinist-performer’s professionalism unfolds in different angles. For the first time, the professionalism of the violinist is considered from the point of view of its synthetic nature; in the context of the chosen topic, L. Spohr’s thorough views in his “Violin School” are highlighted. Research results. Solo, ensemble, quartet or orchestral playing differs in the functional characteristics of the musician: status that determines his/her behaviour and the type of communication – the role. Acquiring practical knowledge in each of these specializations, the violinist realizes the uniqueness of the respective statuses and roles, enrichs self-own artistic-aesthetic, socio-cultural experience, thereby developing intelligence, expanding the psycho-emotional range and scope of his / her performer art. L. Spohr in the “Violin School” provides his own vision of the universal qualities of a violinist and separately characterizes his / her various statuses and roles. Although this methodical work is almost two hundred years old, the relevance of the author’s advice is not lost even today. Conclusion. Regardless of the chosen status, the violinist faces some circle of art tasks. They are based on the features of the implementation and delivery of a specific composer’s idea to the listener and determine the musician’s use of a particular set of playing skills. Mastering various “roles”, which clearly demonstrate the synthetic nature of a violinist’s professionalism, allows one to demonstrate exactly those qualities that are required by the chosen form of music making and the composer’s intention. In our opinion, the study of the specifics of communicative and role-playing processes can contribute to the rethinking of established pedagogical methods and the value of a comprehensive approach to learning, on which L. Shpor’s “Violin School” is based.

The Use of Colour in Illustration

The influence of color on illustration is significant. For different color uses, it can make the picture present a different artistic performance, which shows the importance of color. Using color well can bring a more impactful effect to the illustration, more layered language, and the audience can indirectly feel the authors thoughts and emotions through color. Therefore, this thesis focuses on interpreting the techniques of using color in illustration works by analyzing the use of color in strongly stylized illustration works, and enhancing the understanding of them through some theoretical knowledge. It includes an explanation of the basic definition and properties of illustration, a detailed study of the expression of color in illustration, the scope of application and development trends. The conclusion obtained from this thesis is that the saturation of color, brightness, shades of color, and different combinations can create a different feeling to the illustration. This gives the viewer a different visual experience and conveys a different message. Nowadays, more and more illustrators like to use color to enhance the style of their images, and they become more adept at using color to attract the viewers attention.

6mA-StackingCV: an improved stacking ensemble model for predicting DNA N6-methyladenine site

DNA N6-adenine methylation (N6-methyladenine, 6mA) plays a key regulating role in the cellular processes. Precisely recognizing 6mA sites is of importance to further explore its biological functions. Although there are many developed computational methods for 6mA site prediction over the past decades, there is a large root left to improve. We presented a cross validation-based stacking ensemble model for 6mA site prediction, called 6mA-StackingCV. The 6mA-StackingCV is a type of meta-learning algorithm, which uses output of cross validation as input to the final classifier. The 6mA-StackingCV reached the state of the art performances in the Rosaceae independent test. Extensive tests demonstrated the stability and the flexibility of the 6mA-StackingCV. We implemented the 6mA-StackingCV as a user-friendly web application, which allows one to restrictively choose representations or learning algorithms. This application is freely available at http://www.biolscience.cn/6mA-stackingCV/. The source code and experimental data is available at https://github.com/Xiaohong-source/6mA-stackingCV.
