Excerpt from Dances of Norway Our old Norse literature consisted of Edda-kvaede, Eddic poems; later the Skalds or bards found themes in sagas and lays, using alliteration and reciting their poems at feasts before kings and Chieftains. Nothing, however, suggests that either song or dance was attached to these spoken verses, though, in form, there are certain points of resemblance between these skaldic poems and our oldest dance ballads. The real song-dance came With the ballad, or what in Eng land and France became the Carole, known all over Western Europe in Court, castle and village. Icelandic sources give us some information from as early as I I I 9 about this medie val dance form and we may suppose that it reached Norway about the same time or a little earlier. The age of chivalry created good conditions for this artistic, polite form in which both sexes could take part and which either a man or a woman might lead; as it grew in popularity the reign of the old skald and the reciter of sagas came to an end. Through the song-dance our ballads won a popularity no other poetry has gained. Alliteration was dropped, rhymes took its place and lyrical stanzas became a vehicle for dance.

Dance in Scripture: How Biblical Dancers Can Revolutionize Worship Today examines the dances of seven biblical figures: Miriam, Jephthah's daughter, David, the Shulamite, Judith, Salome, and Jesus. Each figure offers a virtue that has the potential to revolutionize worship today. Yarber combines feminist and queer hermeneutics with dance history to highlight the nuances of the texts that often go unnoticed in biblical scholarship, while also celebrating the myriad ways the body can be affirmed in worship in creative, empowering, and subversive ways. Liberation, lamentation, abandon, passion, subversion, innocence, and community each contribute to the exciting ways embodied worship can be revolutionized. This is a book for those interested in biblical scholarship, dance, the arts, feminist and queer theory, or revolutionizing worship.

This remarkable study explores the use of the visual and performing arts to promote nonviolence and social harmony in sub-Saharan Africa. It focuses on Gelede, a popular community festival of masquerade, dance, and song, held several times a year by the Yoruba of Southwestern Nigeria and the Republic of Benin. Babatunde Lawal, an art historian and African scholar who has taught in Nigeria, Brazil, and the United States, is himself a Yoruba and has taken an active part in Gelede. He writes from the perspective of an informed participant/observer of his own culture. Lawal bases his book on extensive field research--observations and interviews--conducted over more than two decades as well as on numerous published and unpublished scholarly sources. He casts significant new light on many previously obscure aspects of Gelede, and he demonstrates a useful methodological approach to the study of non-Western art. The book systematically covers the major aspects of the Gelede spectacle, presenting its cultural background and historical origins as preface to a vivid and detailed description of an actual performance. This is followed by a discussion of the iconography and aesthetics of costume, and an examination of the sculpted images on the masks. The book concludes with a discussion of the moral and aesthetic philosophy of Gelede and its responsiveness to technological and social change. The Gelede Spectacle is illustrated in color and black-and-white with over 100 field and museum photographs, including a rare sequence on the dressing of a masquerader. It offers, in addition, more than 60 Gelede song texts, proverbs, and divination verses, each in the original Yoruba as well as in translation. Lawal's interpretations of these pieces indicate the rich complexities of metaphor and analogy inherent in the Yoruba language and art.
