Music and Dance Study Group Evening Session, AMS Boston, Nov 2019
Submission deadline: April 30, 2019
Keynote Speakers: Millicent Hodson and Kenneth Archer
Many musical works that began in the theater have occupied musicologists and theorists in a disengaged state as “the music itself.” Likewise, music meant for the concert hall has found its way into theater and dance productions, accruing movement and scenic values in the process. In response to Millicent Hodson and Kenneth Archer’s several decades of work reconstructing Stravinsky’s dance works, we invite papers that reflect on the lives and afterlives of musical works as they interact with dance and design. Possible topics might address
- interpretive alternatives for music that has moved from theater to concert hall, or vice versa
- scenic and choreographic forces that have guided musical composition
- the concept of Gesamtkunstwerk as a theoretical framework for understanding interactions of music, dance, and design
- collaborations that have advanced innovation in dance, music, and design
- accruals of meaning (political, cultural, aesthetic, and otherwise) in combinations of music, dance, and design
- questions of performance in musical works divorced from their original dance context
- reconstructive principals for recovering lost dance and design elements of musical stage works
