Somatic Ethnography Grand Gestures Elders

项目摘要

The research is a partnership between Sunderland University and Equal Arts. It aims to contribute to the debate about how we can better understand the impacts, for individuals and for society, of engaging in arts and cultural activity. It looks in particular at dance and ageing, and takes as a case study an Elders dance group, Grand Gestures. This group of men and women aged 57 to 87 meet for a weekly dance class, perform as a dance company, and also share their skills as volunteers in residential care homes, where they work with people with dementia. The researcher, an older dancer herself, will participate in, observe and interview the dance group over a five month period. The investigation focuses in particular on the significance of bodily awareness senses such as touch, sense of movement (kinaesthetic sensation), sense of where the body is located (proprioception), and physical empathy within the dance group's activity, their individual and personal development, and their interactions with others, including dance interactions and wider civic and social engagements. These sensory aspects of dance are an important and tangible aspect of the experience of dancing, but are not often talked about or evaluated, and the project aims to find some creative new ways of 'speaking' of them not just through words, but also through performance and other media such as film. It will also reflect on the potential usefulness of its particular approach for the evaluation of arts and cultural activity.

这项研究是桑德兰大学和平等艺术之间的合作。它旨在促进关于我们如何更好地理解参与艺术和文化活动对个人和社会的影响的辩论。它特别关注舞蹈和衰老，并以一个老年舞蹈团体《大手势》为案例研究。这群年龄在57岁至87岁之间的男女每周都会参加一次舞蹈课，作为舞蹈公司表演，并分享他们在养老院担任志愿者的技能，在那里他们与痴呆症患者一起工作。研究者本身是一位年长的舞蹈家，她将在五个月的时间里参与、观察和采访舞蹈团。调查重点特别是身体意识的意义，如触摸，运动感（动觉感觉），感觉身体位于（本体感觉），和身体的移情在舞蹈团的活动，他们的个人和个人的发展，以及他们与他人的互动，包括舞蹈互动和更广泛的公民和社会参与。舞蹈的这些感官方面是舞蹈体验的一个重要和有形的方面，但并不经常被谈论或评估，该项目旨在找到一些创造性的新方法，不仅通过文字，而且通过表演和其他媒体，如电影。它还将考虑其评估艺术和文化活动的特定方法的潜在用途。
