New advanced level elective course

Linda Sabo — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 14:08:00 +0000

I would like to suggest a new course in dance that I am offering in the spring as an appropriate dance elective for dance majors, as well as an upper division outside of the major for all others. The course is DAN 320 C: DANCE CRITICISM and it meets from 10:30 to 12:10 on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

DESCRIPTION–DAN 320C DANCE CRITICISM: This course will explore current theories, materials and methods considered in writing dance criticism and examine both the aesthetic and theoretical aspects of a dance work in order to prompt writing from either viewpoint. Methods will include group study, choreographic evaluation, application of research, and individual writing projects related to critical writing about dance.

Email me at lsabo@elon.edu if you’d like more information.

Linda Sabo presents paper at U.K. dance history conference

Linda Sabo — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 14:35:00 +0000

Sabo’s presentation was called “Romanticism versus Realism or Choosing How Things Should be Over How They Are: The Historical Use of Spectacle to Subvert the Effects of Social Crisis.”

It analyzes two Busby Berkeley spectacles from the film Gold Diggers of 1933 to better understand that musical’s negotiation of contradictory writing and performance styles not just to entertain, but to address sociocultural issues of its time as well as suggest Utopian visions of a better future.

“A Day in Hollywood, A Night in the Ukraine” at McCrary Theatre

Linda Sabo — Fri, 09 Feb 2007 14:16:00 +0000

A fun time is in store for you this weekend if you like great singing and dancing and zany comedy. An “old-fashioned” musical comedy with lots of gags, gals and great songs can describe the 1980 Tony award winning “A Day in Hollywood, A Night in the Ukraine,” which opened last night at McCrary Theatre.

An ingeniously constructed “musical double feature” tribute to Hollywood’s heyday, Act One’s “A Day In Hollywood” is set in the lobby of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre where a group of singing and tapping ushers pay homage to those marvelous 1930s films. Act Two’s “A Night in the Ukraine” is a zany parody of Chekov’s The Bear — as performed by the Marx Brothers!

Dick Vosburgh’s and Frank Lazarus’ original score with additional new music by Jerry Herman, is complemented by popular songs from the era like “Just Too Marvelous,” “Easy to Love,” and “Ain’t We Got Fun.” You’ll laugh a lot, for sure, and delight in the nostalgic songs and dances from this magnificent time in Hollywood history! Come and be entertained by ��Ƶ’s Performing Arts Department in this sweet remembrance of the early days of the film industry
