The U.S. Government’s Use of Modern Dance in its Cultural Propaganda Campaign during the Cold War – In conversation with a Doctor of Dance
At Dance Education Canada we believe that in order to be able to provide a dance education that is comprehensive, dance educators must have an understanding of where we came from. This includes insight into how styles transformed into others, what inspired the founders and how society influenced various styles. Today we will explore the later, and get to know Jose Limon and his work with the help of Professor and Coordinator of the Dance Department at Montgomery County Community College Dr Melinda Copel.
GUEST: Melinda Copel holds a Doctorate in Dance from Temple University and certification in Elementary Labanotation from the Dance Notation Bureau. Copel has taught dance to adults and children for over twenty-seven years teaching at many universities including Temple University and Rutgers University—Camden. Copel has studied a broad range of dance styles including modern dance at the Martha Graham School, where she was fortunate to take classes with Graham, and ballet at the Finis Jhung School of Ballet in New York. Copel has studied choreography and performance at Smith College, and has served as research consultant for the video documentary Limón: A Life Beyond Words. Copel’s articles and reviews can be found in renowned publications including Choreography and Dance and the Dance Research Journal amongst many others. Her dissertation examines the State Department's use of modern dance as part of its cultural propaganda campaign during the Cold War.
