Sinossi

"Cultural Moves" explores the dynamic role of dance as a living archive, revealing how cultures worldwide use movement to preserve history, transmit social structures, and foster cultural resilience.

 
Going beyond mere entertainment, the book argues that dance embodies historical narratives, acting as a social script that reinforces societal norms and a powerful tool for communities navigating change.

 
For instance, Indigenous Australian dance practices intricately map ancestral lands and transmit creation stories, highlighting dance's capacity to encode history.

 
The book's unique value lies in its interdisciplinary approach, drawing from anthropology, history, and performance studies to examine the interplay between culture, history, and the body.

 
It examines diverse dance traditions, such as West African dance forms and the evolution of ballet, to illustrate the core themes of embodied history, social scripting, and cultural resilience.

 
By presenting case studies and integrating historical accounts with performance analysis, "Cultural Moves" offers a comprehensive understanding of dance as a cultural practice, progressing from theoretical frameworks to focused explorations of specific dance traditions across its chapters.

Every Brain Needs Music - The...

Dennis Plies, Larry S. Sherman

Whenever a person engages with music―when a piano student practices a scale, a jazz saxophonist riffs on a melody, a teenager sobs to a sad song, or a wedding guest gets down on the dance floor—countless neurons are firing. Playing an instrument requires all of the resources of the nervous system, including cognitive, sensory, and motor functions. Composition and improvisation are remarkable demonstrations of the brain's capacity for creativity. Something as seemingly simple as listening to a tune involves mental faculties most of us don't even realize we have. 
 
 
 
Larry S. Sherman, a neuroscientist and lifelong musician, and Dennis Plies, a professional musician and teacher, collaborate to show how our brains and music work in harmony. They consider music in all the ways we encounter it—teaching, learning, practicing, listening, composing, improvising, and performing—in terms of neuroscience as well as music pedagogy, showing how the brain functions and even changes in the process. Every Brain Needs Music draws on leading behavioral, cellular, and molecular neuroscience research as well as surveys of more than a hundred musical people. It provides new perspectives on learning to play, teaching, how to practice and perform, the ways we react to music, and why the brain benefits from musical experiences.

It can range from casual observation in one's backyard to more serious pursuits involving travel to specific locations to see rare or interesting bird species. Bird watchers often use binoculars, spotting scopes, and field guides to identify different species and learn about their behaviors, calls, and habitats.
