  Through the Eyes of a Dancer compiles the writings of noted dance critic and editor Wendy Perron. In pieces for The SoHo Weekly News, Village Voice, The New York Times, and Dance Magazine, Perron limns the larger aesthetic and theoretical shifts in the dance world since the 1960s. She surveys a wide range of styles and genres, from downtown experimental performance to ballets at the Metropolitan Opera House. In opinion pieces, interviews, reviews, brief memoirs, blog posts, and contemplations on the choreographic process, she gives readers an up-close, personalized look at dancing as an art form. Dancers, choreographers, teachers, college dance students—and anyone interested in the intersection between dance and journalism—will find Perron's probing and insightful writings inspiring. Through the Eyes of a Dancer is a nuanced microcosm of dance's recent globalization and modernization that also provides an opportunity for new dancers to look back on the traditions and styles that preceded their own.

  Ethnomusicology - Music and Culture

  Ethnomusicology is the study of music within its cultural and social contexts. Unlike traditional musicology, which often focuses on musical structures, compositions, and theories, ethnomusicology examines music as a human activity that reflects the beliefs, values, and traditions of the societies that create and sustain it. It is an interdisciplinary field, drawing from anthropology, sociology, history, and linguistics to analyze the ways in which music functions within different cultural frameworks. By understanding music as an integral part of human life, ethnomusicologists seek to explore its role in shaping identity, transmitting heritage, and fostering social connections. 
  The scope of ethnomusicology is vast, encompassing diverse musical practices from indigenous chants and ritualistic drumming to contemporary global fusion genres. This field does not limit itself to non-Western or folk traditions but extends to all forms of music, including popular and classical traditions from different regions. One of the key principles of ethnomusicology is fieldwork, which involves immersive participation, interviews, and direct observation of musical traditions within their native environments. Through this hands-on approach, scholars can capture the lived experiences of musicians, the meaning behind musical performances, and the social structures that support musical expression. 
  Historically, ethnomusicology emerged as a formal discipline in the early twentieth century, evolving from earlier efforts to document and categorize world music traditions. Scholars such as Jaap Kunst, Alan Lomax, and Bruno Nettl contributed significantly to the development of the field, advocating for the study of music in its broader cultural and historical context.

  Most Famous Silent Film Actors...

  Editors Charles River

  Only a select few actors become international stars in their time, but none had as unique a career as Charlie Chaplin. Chaplin was the first true film star, and he managed to do so even when films were still silent. He has been honored with too many awards to count, and the fact that his name remains instantly recognizable nearly a century after his first film is a testament to his influence. Chaplin is known for the singular blend of pathos and humor evinced by his films, and it is not uncommon for audiences to laugh and cry at alternate points of a Chaplin film, a trait that continues to endear audiences even to this day. 
  In the 1920s, the burgeoning movie industry was starting to come into its own, and alongside actor and director Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton was at the peak of Hollywood. It’s no surprise that Keaton was so effective in silent films, because he had been practicing comedy in his family’s vaudeville acts as “The Little Boy Who Can’t Be Damaged”, becoming a popular performer by the age of 5. Indeed, his physical form of comedy, which initially involved having his father throwing him around the stage, translated well onto the screen, and some of his slapstick and other comic gags remain legendary even today, in part because Keaton practiced his own stunts.  
  Everything about Rudolph Valentino, from his body to the characters he played, was exotic. His career may have been abbreviated by his premature death at the age of 31, but Valentino popularized the (somewhat racist) stereotype of the “Latin lover” in Hollywood, and even his name was markedly more out of the ordinary than those of other actors. In an era dominated by hyper-masculine actors like Douglas Fairbanks, or comedians such as Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, Valentino had a more ethnic and mysterious appeal, and he was lusted after by women to a degree that remains unsurpassed in the industry.
