'District 1,' 1978, which was one of the first dance works created for the New Television Workshop. Choreographer Rudy Perez and visual consultant Stephen Price worked with Fred Barzyk to create this work, which features a large group of dancers working in downtown Boston at City Hall. The choreography is comprised of simple movements that interact with the architecture of the site. Still photographs are incorporated. At several points, marching bands enter the picture, creating a built-in sound score. Produced and directed by Fred Barzyk. Perez made several visits to WGBH to prepare for the creation of 'District 1.' One trip was devoted to scouting locations. On a second trip, Perex brought visual consultant Stephen Price and a group of dancers with him. Using still photography, portapak equipment and a small crew, Perez was able to create a series of studies for the work, which were used to carefully plan shots during the production of the actual work. 'District 1' was originally broadcast as a segment on 'Dance for Camera' and later excerpted in Summer Dances and 'Dance in Open Spaces.' 'Dance for Camera' was the earliest series created by the Dance Workshop, which was coordinated at the time by Nancy Mason. The series was broadcast in 1976. Carmen De Lavallade, a former dancer with Lester Horton, John Butler and others, recorded introductions for the shows. The series appears to have been broadcast nationally. Some of the works were rebroadcast as part of the 'Frames of Reference' series.
This module represents several general concert programs, including those with more than one ensemble, music of various styles and sequencing of music. The term "general concerts" is used to reflect those concerts that are not seasonal or for a specific event.
Laws of thermodynamics: general formulation and applications to mechanical, electromagnetic and electrochemical systems, solutions, and phase diagrams. Computation of phase diagrams. Statistical thermodynamics and relation between microscopic and macroscopic properties, including ensembles, gases, crystal lattices, phase transitions. Applications to phase stability and properties of mixtures. Computational modeling. Interfaces.
This module provides information regarding selecting small ensembles, selection of music for them and preparing them for a music contest. This module is directed mostly at high school directors but other directors can apply some of the same techniques to situations in their areas.
