Barlow, Ellen (1993)
The CNDO transcripts
|
|
DVD-ROM: 12 Monographs in e-book form on one DVD-ROM. Average length: 20 pages each.
Over twelve months, through 1991 and 1992, the Center for New Dance Development (CNDO), in Arnhem, The Netherlands, in collaboration with the Arts Documentation Unit, U.K., undertook to interview the contemporary dancers and related artists who were teaching residencies at the Centre during that time. In all, some 36 artists from Europe, the United States and Canada, were asked to describe their work and its current development. The intention was to provide a snap-shot of some of the concerns of a generation of dancers in the early 1990s. From this material, separate monographs by dancers and related artists have been produced. (1993)

Bautz, Fabian (2001)
Eurhythmics and Jaques-Dalcroze
143 minutes
|
|
Fabian Bautz's teaching directly descends from Emile Jaques-Dalcroze. This DVD-ROM observes Bautz introducing a group of dancers and actors to the subtle demands of rhythmic co-ordination of body, music and mind that is one of the hall-marks of Eurhythmics. The record is intercut with Bautz's own reflections upon Jaques-Dalcroze and the development of the Jaques-Dalcroze method. It ends with a talk on Jaques-Dalcroze given by Bautz in London in the summer of 2000. (2001)

Two former long-standing members of the Gardzienice Theatre Association, who have now created their own company "Teatr Piesn Kozla", were invited by Royal Holloway, University of London, to work with post-graduates and others in one of the Theatre Department's new spaces.
This DVD-ROM (edited by Alison Hodge) records aspects of the training given over a two week period, and focuses particularly upon the principle and practice of co-ordination. It ends with both actors in conversation with Hodge, editor of Twentieth Century Actor Training (Routledge). (2001)
