Contemporary is a form of expressive dance that combines components of different dance styles including modern, jazz, lyrical and classical ballet. Dancers aim to correlate the mind and the body within fluid dance moves. Contemporary dance is a popular form of dance which developed during the middle portion of the twentieth century and has since grown to become one of the dominating performance genres for formally trained dancers throughout the world, with particularly strong popularity in the US and Europe. Most dancers prefer using their bare feet or soft ballet slippers and usually dresses as well that will formulate their story and allow for easy mobility on stage. The studio and performance theatre will normally be large and open, where the dancers can concentrate on floor work and are free to move about. Dancers enjoy performing contemporary as it struggles against traditional boundaries and usually combines versatility and improvisation. They are open to creating their moves or routines, from sharp and abrupt to flowing and long movements. Author: LOUREN P.

The contemporary dance founded in Europe and the United States after World War II, appearing on the heels of modern dance. However, for some, it grew from the seeds of postmodernism. Dance is the research of the total movement potential of the body. Characteristics of Contemporary Dance No set curriculum No regular set of exercises No particular music No particular costume No particular body type No fancy music or scenery However, you will typically see parallel position and bare feet in modern classes. CONTEMPORARY DANCE TECHNIQUES Dance techniques and movement philosophies employed in contemporary dance may include contemporary ballet, improvisation, modern styles from US such as Graham technique, Humphrey- Weidman technique and Horton technique, Modern dance of Europe Bartenieff Fundamentals and the dance techniques of Isadora Duncan. In terms of the focus of its technique, contemporary dance tends to utilize both the strong and controlled legwork of ballet and modern dance’s stress on the torso, and also employs contact-release, floor work, fall and recovery, and improvisation characteristic of modern dance. Cunningham Technique by Merce Cunningham – It practices the idea of the body’s personal “line of energy” to support easy, natural movement. Therefore Richard Alston always uses the Cunningham technique in his artistic choreography. Graham Technique by Martha Graham – It focuses on the use of contraction, release, fall and recovery. Graham technique is identified by floor work and the use of abdominal and pelvic contractions, Therefore, the style is very grounded and the method visibly opposed to the sylphlike, airborne ideas of ballet. Limon Technique by Jose Arcadio Limon – It traverses the use of energy concerning gravity and working with weight in terms of fall, rebound, healing and suspension. Limon technique uses the feeling of weight and “heavy energy” in the body, and movement is induced using the breath to lift, and rhythms through the body to create and halt movement. Release Technique – insisting on reducing tension in the search for simplicity and fluidity and effective use of energy and breath. Author: LOUREN P.

Common warm up exercises include body isolations such as hip rolls, ribcage movements without shifting the rest of the body and head rolls. STRETCHING AND FLEXIBILITY – key component of any contemporary routine. It involves the ability to create interesting shapes, flexibility is important. FLOOR WORK – Involves doing exercises while standing centered in the middle of the floor or moving across the floor from one end of the room to the other. Common floor work exercises include leaps and kicks. COMBINATIONS- Last part of contemporary dance exercises in which fundamentals from warm-ups, stretching and floor work are combined to make one contemporary dance routine. MOVEMENT QUALITY – Difference between contemporary dance and other forms of dance lies in the movement quality. The movement quality depends on the attitude towards movement and towards the body in space. EVER-CHANGING STYLE - Each choreographer forms a movement style tailor made for their own choreographic intentions. TRAINING BASED ON LOGIC AND SAFETY. – few inhibiting rules in the dance training other than basic, logical ones about placement, safety and injury prevention. CENTERING – very essence of contemporary Dance is the kinesiological truth – that human movement starts in the spine and pelvis and not in the extremities – the legs and arms. ALIGNMENT – Part of centering has to do with posture, which is the key to balance and reveals and produces feelings. Posture has to do with alignment, which is the placement of all parts of the body in relationship to one another. GRAVITY - One of the natural forces which influences movement. Gravity is the force that holds you down on the earth. BREATH – Doris Humphrey was fascinated by the ebb and flow of breath and how it affects movement. CONTRACTION AND RELEASE – Martha Graham focused on the physiological effects of the act of breath- the ebb and flow of breathing and its effect on the torso as it expands and contracts and on the function of contraction and release of muscles. FALL AND RECOVERY – This principle of fall and recovery combines breath, suspension and gravity. “FALL” is the complete release of the muscles as the body gives in to gravity. RECOVERY – rebound of energy passing though the bottom of the fall and continuing on the same path like a pendulum swing. Author: LOUREN P.

It is created at the peak of the movement by continuing the movement and delaying the takeover of gravity. BALANCE AND OFF-BALANCE – Inner balance relies upon the awareness of weight and pressure. In order to stand upright we have our weight over our feet otherwise gravity will cause us to topple over. TENSION AND RELAXATION – Muscles tense and relax to enable us to stand and move. Tension and relaxation also express how we feel. OPPOSITION – Implies two things working one against to other.These things may be forces, parts of the body or people. SUCCESSION - Opposite of opposition. It is a sequential path of movement through parts of the body – a wave-like reaction. SPIRAL - turn of the body on its axis. It is used for balance, control and turning. SWINGS AND MOMENTUM – Swinging movements, like a pendulum, depend on the force of gravity. Contemporary dancers centre on floor work, utilizing gravity to pull them down to the floor. Therefore, this dance style is often Performed bare feet also various styles of music can be used to perform Contemporary dance. Health Benefits involved in Contemporary Dance Yes, absolutely.
