The Impact of Chat Rooms on Fictional Writers
Posted by David Artstone in Entertainment on May 9th, 2010
The chat room has changed the nature of conversation. What used to be the natural flow of thoughts from the unconscious to the conscious, up through the lungs, over the tongue, and out the mouth, has now been expanded to occasionally include the fingers. This has consequences for the way we as humans view noise, voices, words, and even the very nature of communication itself.
In this new form of typed communication, reality is not quite as sturdy as it used to be. When you’re talking to someone face to face, you can see them, you know exactly who they are, where they are, and what they’re doing. If they want to make a nonverbal point they can use facial expressions or wave their arms.
In a chat or instant message application the rules of reality don’t exist. This can in many ways make it harder to communicate. In chat you can’t hear the inflection in their voice, see the expression on the other persons face, or even tell whether they are paying attention or not. They aren’t really there, no reality, you are talking into the void, and are answered only by the silence of words floating back at you from cyber space.
Looking At Dance As A Performance Art Form
Posted by Peggy Ryersen in Entertainment on October 30th, 2009
Dance, if you want to put a description to it, is simply a form of art, as well as sport. It can be described as rhythmic body movements done gracefully to music. Dance is also used as an emotional release or sometimes used in spiritual or social interactions. Included in this art form are body movements meant to express ideas in a silent non-verbal way. This can also be seen among animals, bees being just one example. There are even some sports that fall under one type or form of partnership dance, such as figure skating, synchronized swimming and even martial arts if the training is done as a synchronized dance in a sport setting.
Dancing is more than just its movements. A lot of dance forms depend on other factors, such as the social, moral aesthetic and cultural settings. Any restraints placed upon free expression or competitions can also affect dance forms, as well as ceremonial performing arts. In this case the dance can tell a story or show an expression or emotion.
Classical dance also has its place in various forms of dance. This includes dances such as the tango, waltz or ballroom dancing and there are even still a lot of competitions being held that focus on those classical dance forms. Those interested in careers involving dancing can choose from many options such as working in dance companies, becoming a choreographer or teacher others dance styles. If you want to teach others, then you can be an instructor for individual dances or partner dances.
