What style of dance is ghost dances by christopher Bruce?

Christopher Bruce's, Ghost Dances, is an amazing ballet. In the 1970's there was a coup d'etat in Chile. Coup d'etat meaning the military overthrew the government, a takeover.

During this coup certain people going against the new government were "taken away" in the middle of the night. Families lost loved ones suddenly with no notice.

Christopher Bruce was inspired by their stories and created Ghost Dances. He used Andean Folk music.

But what is interesting and I think awesome is the first 5-7 minutes of the ballet, there is no music, only the sound of wind blowing. The three ghosts must coordinate and communicate with each other, using their breath and instincts.

During the dance the Ghosts will take away certain people of the village with no warning, much like the people who were taken away from their families in the 70's in Chile.

When i performed it, we would perform it for school children at our theater. When the curtain would rise all the kids would be whispering then complete silence for the rest of the show. I've never heard 1,000 kids be so quiet.

This ballet is my favorite. Such an amazing experience to perform it.

What is the definition of artistic convention?

An artistic convention is a method or style of conveying or portraying something that is widely used and recognized as meaning a certain thing (or conforming to a certain style).

For example, in recent movies and television shows, when you see slightly jumpy, jerky camera work (Battlestar Galactica and The Bourne movies come immediately to mind), the method of filming emulates a handheld camera, and most viewers recognize that it is intended to convey a more realistic setting and serquence of events.

A more mundane example is when someone turns out the lights on a TV show, then we see them getting up or getting ready in the morning. The convention is that turning out the lights meant everyone went to sleep (or did other things), and now it's morning. Kind of obvious, but that's one conventional way of showing that night passed on TV.

.......

As a history student, to me artistic convention is that which appeared or reappeared during the renaissance. I.e symbols such as scales representing justice which the Romans liked to use and many western country courts now.

Are there boy tights?

Men wore tights in Europe before they became fashionable for women to wear. Lycra tights add pizzaz to a nice set of smooth shapely legs. I like tights on women and I know some women like tights on men. So women get out and wear your tights with honor. ---- Then they should shave their legs first. If you wear tights with hairy legs all the hairs poke out of the tiny holes in the tights.

How do you make your jump higher?

i assume you are meaning the second stage (step/skip) that you mean rather than the second attempt of the triple jump. when i was training for the triple jump i used to do it over low hurdles (about 50-60cm high) which helped me get height since if i didnt i would just hit the hurdles at each stage. another method was to hold yourself up with your arms so you can have both feet off the ground. i did this by putting a chair either side of me and lifting myself up. you can then slowly go through each phase of the triple jump which helps to find and remember the correct technique.
