Seminaire Hutchinson 2024Avec Sydney H utchihnson*

From the 1950s through the 1970s, East German ch oreographers, dance teachers, composers, and ballroom enthusiasts worked to provide their socialist comrades with new dances that would express and en courage joy in the “new life” socialism provided. Drawing ideas from US, La tin American, and Eastern Bloc trends and employing their own creativity, c ommittees regularly put out dance ideas, premiered them in festivals, and e ncouraged “dance circles” at businesses, villages, and neighborhoods to tak e them up. Mgazines published dozens of these new choreographies and scores to allow for amateur recreation, and they spanned “Modetänze” (dance trend s or social partner dances), new folk dances, and imported international da nces reworked in East German style. Only a few became popular; others were performed only on a single occasion.

Understanding how these dances w ere created and used, as well as what they meant in their historical contex t, is one part of my larger project entitled “Second World Music: Latin Ame rica, East Germany, and the Sonic Circuitry of Socialism.” I will speak abo ut how the social dances fit into my larger investigation into the performa nce of socialist internationalism. I will also discuss the methodology I am employing to reconstruct and perform the dances and their music as a form of participant-observation in a no-longer-existing dance culture. Together we will explore these new creations, their choreomusical successes and fail ures, by doing the dances ourselves and considering our own bodily experien ces of the material.
