Sinossi

"The Science of Motion" explores the fascinating intersection of dance and physics, revealing the scientific principles behind seemingly impossible movements. It examines how dancers manipulate gravity, maintain balance, and apply Newton's laws of motion.

 
Did you know that a dancer's ability to defy gravity relies on precisely timed movements and the manipulation of their center of mass? Or that maintaining balance involves a complex interplay of forces and torques, allowing dancers to sustain stability on a single point?

 
This book uniquely bridges the gap between science and art, offering a framework for dancers, choreographers, and enthusiasts to analyze and enhance performance. By deconstructing complex movements into their fundamental physical components, "The Science of Motion" provides insights into optimizing technique, preventing injuries, and creating innovative choreography.

 
It begins with an introduction to basic physics principles and then progresses through chapters dedicated to gravity, balance, and dynamics, culminating in an exploration of these principles in diverse dance genres.

Memento - The Ultimate Trivia...

Film Trivia Metaverse

MEMENTO 
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
  
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN 
  
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
  
ABOUT THE FILM 
Memento is a psychological thriller directed by Christopher Nolan that follows Leonard Shelby, a man suffering from anterograde amnesia, which prevents him from forming new memories. Unable to remember anything beyond a few minutes, Leonard embarks on a quest to find the person responsible for the attack that killed his wife. Using Polaroid photographs and tattoos as his only means of retaining information, Leonard struggles to piece together the truth. The film explores themes of memory, perception, and self-deception, with its nonlinear narrative structure reflecting the fragmented and unreliable nature of Leonard's memory. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
“Jennifer Todd, impressed by Carrie-Anne Moss's performance in "The Matrix," suggested her for the role of Natalie. Despite competition for the role, Christopher Nolan cast Moss, believing she added depth to the character.” 
  
“The idea for the film’s subject matter emerged when Christopher Nolan and his brother Jonathan took a road trip. By the time they reached Los Angeles, the entire screenplay had been discussed between them.” 
  
“Although the opening sequence is played backward, all sound effects are normal, except for Teddy’s scream, which is reversed.” 
  
“Guy Pearce improvised many of the voiceovers for Leonard’s character.”

Demarco's Edinburgh

Roddy Martine, Richard Demarco

The Edinburgh Festival of those days was a much more accessible village... The ground rules were well enough understood. Everything about it was containable. The Fringe was the seed bed for talent and ran happily in step with its established elders and betters. They both knew their place.
But then something equally remarkable was about to take place in the New Town of the city I knew and loved...
The same year, Roddy Martine is born. In 1963 when, at the age of sixteen, he interviewed Sir Yehudi Menuhin and David Frost for an Edinburgh Festival magazine he edited and the following year, met Marlene Dietrich.
Both Richard and Roddy have unique perspectives on the most remarkable international festival of the arts the world has ever known. They have witnessed its evolution over the years and are passionate believers in the power of creativity within everyone.
In this fascinating book, Richard – the 2013 UK recipient of the Citizen of Europe medal – explores the original world vision of Sir John Falconer and Rudolph Bing and, with Roddy, recalls the highs and lows of The Edinburgh International Festival, The Fringe, Art, Book, Jazz and Television Festivals, and The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo.
Now in its eighth decade, can the Edinburgh Festival survive? Where do we go from here?

The Public Purpose of Art

Arlene Goldbard

We’re on the cusp of a paradigm shift, a radical change in worldview that will thrust art and culture onto center stage. What does that mean? How will the world be different? What is the rising spirit of the times and how is it being expressed in art? Arlene Goldbard says, “I have this overwhelming image of energy gathering force and taking shape.” She likens this force to a wave and says, “No one masterminds a wave, ordering all the drops of water into line. Many independent forces operate simultaneously – wind, gravity, disturbances of all kinds – and somehow, the wave mounts.” In this dialogue we explore this mounting force and what’s opposing this rolling tide.

Art History Symbolism

Alfred Hunt

Symbolism appeared in France and Europe between the 1880s and the beginning of the 20th-century. The Symbolists, fascinated with ancient mythology, attempted to escape the reign of rational thought imposed by science. They wished to transcend the world of the visible and the rational in order to attain the world of pure thought, constantly flirting with the limits of the unconscious. The French Gustave Moreau, Odilon Redon, the Belgians Fernand Khnopff and Félicien Rops, the English Edward Burne-Jones and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and the Dutch Jan Toorop are the most representative artists of the movement.
