The goal of the dance/math project was to engage students in math in ways that reached students’ multiple intelligences and encouraged students to make complex connections and try new problem solving techniques. The classroom teachers, who designed and implemented the project, hypothesized that students who worked with a dancer once a week to learn math concepts would become more engaged in mathematics and have more successful and positive experiences with mathematics than students who did not work with a dancer.Item Hmong Odyssey: A History and a Play. Project Report.(1999) Berry, Jon MItem Profile of 2007 Irish Fair Attendees(University of Minnesota Tourism Center, 2007) Schuweiler, Andrea; Schneider, Ingrid E.Festivals and special events benefit both local communities and visitors. Community festivals of short duration contribute to the celebration of local culture, identity, and place. Festivals also enhance exposure, awareness, profitability and image of the host community, as well as serve as a vehicle for other development (Felenstein & Fleischer, 2003; Getz, 1991; Hall, 1992; Nicholson & Pearce, 2001). To maximize benefit and enhance events, organizers need to continually assess and evaluate their event and its market.Item Rural and Urban Explorations of Transnational Performance: A Dialogue Between Traditional Southwestern Chinese and Contemporary North American Music & Dance(2018-12) Pang, YanIn this autobiographical, bi-cultural, and interdisciplinary production, I use piano, voice, dance, and acting to create a performance that weaves together Chinese and American cultural differences and similarities. The performance is an account of how I have learned to navigate the world as an academic and composer with the obstacles and successes that come with such a journey. I combine modern North American techniques with traditional Chinese ways of knowing through three art forms: theater, music, and dance. These very different musical traditions cooperate to connect performers and audiences. Chinese performers and audiences are reacquainted with their cultural roots, while U.S. audience members see something new in themselves as they experience this performance. This strategy increases the variety of receptive audiences for my compositions and will allow for greater intercultural interaction and visibility between different cultures.
