Dance, Embodied Agency and Neuroplasticity in Aging
Dance is a multi-sensory and multi-modal form of movement expression, one that stimulates creative potential for innovative action and intersubjective communication. Over the last two decades, results from systematic reviews have shown a spectrum of dance styles to be powerful, non-pharmacological agents in advancing intergenerational health across quality-of-life domains. This Research Topic invites further investigation into the specificity of how the dancing body can access untapped cognitive resources that promote brain health in the elderly. While early findings from dance protocols have been shown to impact positively on structural- and functional neuroplasticity, the link between embodied agency and brain health remains under-researched and under-theorized. Researchers are called to design methodologies that test the eco-validity of dance, explicitly examining the interactive effects of sentient expressive movement with cognitive reserve. One challenge, among many, lies in explicating and differentiating the elements of the dancing body itself, particularly when outcomes correlate with other forms of movement-rich exercise for the elderly.
Body and Mind in Motion
Western contemporary dance and body-mind education have engaged in a pas de deux for more than four decades. The rich interchange of somatics and dance has altered both fields, but scholarship that substantiates these ideas through the findings of twentieth-century scientific advances has been missing. This book fills that gap and brings to light contemporary discoveries of neuroscience and somatic education as they relate to dance. Drawing from the burgeoning field of “embodiment”—itself an idea at the intersection of the sciences, humanities, arts, and technologies—Body and Mind in Motion highlights the relevance of somatic education within dance education, dance science, and body-mind studies.
Entanglements of Two
Drawing out the particularities of working in twos, with a focus on collaborative performance making, this book considers the duet as a particular configuration in which to think, the duo a microcosm of humankind, and presents everyday entanglement of form and practice seen through the lens of the smallest multiple unit.
The Batson Family in Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas
Thomas Batson Sr. (d.1725) and his family immigrated from England to Northampton County, Virginia during or before 1718. Descendants and relatives lived in Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and elsewhere.
Safe Dance Practice
Safe Dance Practice bridges the gap between research and application for dancers and dance educators at all levels. The book presents integrated guidelines and principles that will maximize physical and mental well-being without compromising creativity and expression.
Performing Arts in Prisons
Across the world, performing arts programmes are increasing in number, scope and professionalism. They attract increasing academic and media attention. Theoretical and applied research, organizational evaluation reports, documentary films and journalism are detailing prison arts and creating recognition that this body of work is becoming a valued part of the correctional enterprise. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests music, theatre, poetry and dance can contribute to prisoner wellbeing, management, rehabilitation and reintegration. Performing Arts in Prisons: Creative Perspectives explores prison arts in Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom and Chile, and creates a new framework for understanding its practices.
The French and American History of Michael Garoutte and His Descendants
Michael Antoine Garoutte (1750-1829) was a son of Antoine Garoutte and Lady Anne de Lascour. In 1775 Michael outfitted two ships in Marseilles, and immigrated (along with large crews of men) to New Jersey to aid the colonists in the Revolutionary War. In 1778 he married Sophia Smith at Pleasant Mills, New Jersey, and they later lived at Tuckahoe and then Pemberton, New Jersey. Descendants and relatives lived in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, Oregon and elsewhere. Includes ancestry and genealogical data to about 1600 in France.
