The punk subculture originated in the 1970s in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia, influenced by movements like anarchism, Marxism, and pop art. Punk rock music is loud and aggressive, usually played by bands with a vocalist, guitarists, bassists and drummer performing short songs with few chords and lyrics expressing their left-wing, anti-establishment ideology. Punks visually distinguish themselves with unique styles and participate in dances like pogo jumping and moshing at concerts.
This document discusses whether music promotes violence. It examines the portrayal of violence in music videos and song lyrics. Studies show that exposure to violent lyrics can increase aggressive thoughts and hostility. While violent music may influence mood and perceptions in the short term, there is no evidence it directly causes violent actions. The document argues that claims music causes violence often ignore the social contexts that influence artists and overlook censorship of certain genres like rap. Ultimately, it concludes that life experiences, not music alone, most likely underlie violent outbursts.

The creation of the gramophone in 1900 enabled recorded music and helped launch a new era. In the 1960s, bands were carefully manufactured with prescribed personalities and styles. Music videos initially showed bands simply performing but grew more artistic. David Bowie's 1972 videos helped establish music videos as a narrative art form. Michael Jackson's groundbreaking "Thriller" video in 1983 was influential. The 1981 launch of MTV was pivotal in promoting the music video as an art form and YouTube now allows global access to music videos.

The document discusses the evolution of music videos from the 1970s through the 1990s. In the 1970s, bands like Pink Floyd and David Bowie began producing promotional films for their songs. By the late 1970s and early 1980s, MTV's format was based around music videos, which became a major marketing tool. The 1980s saw iconic artists like Madonna and Michael Jackson produce innovative, boundary-pushing videos that showcased their music and style. Cyndi Lauper also had memorable videos in this era. In the 1990s, directors like Michel Gondry and Spike Jonze began directing music videos and later transitioned to film. Videos also increased in production costs, with some in the mid-1990
Initial Research
Music videos primarily promote the sale of music and allow artists to share their interpretation of songs with audiences. Over decades, music videos have increased in importance to become as significant as the songs themselves. Early music videos called Soundies from the 1940s were three minute black and white films that included various genres and narratives that have evolved over time. Dorothy Dandridge's 1942 Soundie "Zoot Suit" relied on exaggerated gestures to illustrate the story and singers began looking at the camera to connect with audiences.

The Museum of Modern Art Honored Leon and Debra Black, Martin ScorseseAlexandra Holt
The Museum of Modern Art honored Leon and Debra Black and Martin Scorsese at its 39th annual Party in the Garden event on May 15. Over 900 guests attended and raised $3.8 million. JAY-Z introduced a live performance by singer Chrisette Michele at the after-dinner dance. The Party in the Garden benefits MoMA's annual fund and sculpture garden maintenance.
Music videos began as promotional films for artists but evolved into a medium of artistic expression and a way for artists to connect with fans. In the 1960s and 70s, as rock music and television rose in popularity, artists began producing music videos to promote their songs on TV. The first true music video is considered Bob Dylan's 1965 video for "Subterranean Homesick Blues". In the 1980s, MTV launched and exclusively played music videos, propelling many artists to stardom. Today, music videos are primarily marketing tools distributed via websites like YouTube to promote song sales.
Musicals are theatrical productions that combine songs, music, and spoken dialogue to advance the plot. Some key points:
- They range from classical (Sound of Music) to modern (Chicago, Moulin Rouge).
- Singin' in the Rain was voted the greatest movie musical of all time in 2006 by the American Film Institute.
- Iconic performers like Gene Kelly, Julie Andrews, and Dick Van Dyke starred in many classic musicals.
Andrew Goodwin was a theorist and founder of USF's media studies department who developed a theory about analyzing music videos by examining the relationship between lyrics and visuals, music and visuals, genre stereotypes, voyeurism, intertextual references, and an artist's style. His theory looked at how visuals can illustrate, amplify, or contradict lyrics and music. Music videos often use genre stereotypes, voyeuristic portrayals of men and women, and references to other media. They also emphasize an artist's unique visual style. Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night" video illustrates her lyrics, uses voyeuristic shots, and draws attention to stereotypical party behaviors to engage viewers.

04.04.22 Conducting your research - data analysis.pptxLouise Douse
The document provides guidance on analyzing data for a dissertation or practice as research project. It discusses preparing both quantitative and qualitative data for analysis. For quantitative data, it recommends calculating averages, percentages, and interpreting results. For qualitative data, it suggests coding themes that emerge from sources like interviews and observing patterns across data. Both types of analysis require carefully interpreting results while being aware of biases, and reporting findings through tables, graphs, quotes or descriptions. The document stresses that research aims to discover theories from data, rather than confirm existing ideas.
The document discusses action research. It states that action research involves:
1) Identifying an issue or problem in one's practice that needs to be addressed.
2) Involving coworkers or others as coresearchers to work through a cyclical process of planning action, taking action, observing the results, and reflecting on the process.
3) Using reflection on one cycle to plan further cycles of research, with the goal of bringing about positive changes in practice.
This document provides guidance on analyzing performance works from a postmodern perspective through a semiotic lens. It discusses key postmodern concepts like pastiche and nonlinear narrative. It recommends closely watching a work multiple times and noting the signifiers in performer, movement, sound, and space and their relationships to signified concepts. Analyses should describe a key moment, the signs present, and how they link to interpretations of postmodern stylistic features like juxtaposition or how sign systems work together or in disjunction. The document provides models for developing a paragraph analysis of how a work exemplifies postmodern concepts through its use of signs.
21.03.22 Observations, experiments and PaRLouise Douse
Structured observations and experiments allow researchers to tightly control variables to investigate cause-and-effect relationships. Structured observations require defining target behaviors and feasible measurement methods. Experiments enable accurate data collection but lack ecological validity. Unstructured observations explore context nuances but require justified choices about what to record. Practice as research advances artistic knowledge through exploration and insights from creative processes, documented through video, journals, or reflective practice involving description, dialogue, critique, and thematic analysis.
This document provides guidance on analyzing a performance work from a postmodern perspective. It instructs the reader to introduce the chosen practitioner, discuss any key influences on their work from both a cultural and personal level, identify the practitioner's intentions for the work, and draw parallels between those intentions and cultural influences. The document emphasizes analyzing how the work aligns with postmodern themes and styles, rather than focusing on whether the practitioner intentionally made the work postmodern. It provides prompts for elements to discuss such as the practitioner's background, influences, stated intentions, and how their ideas relate to postmodern concepts. The overall aim is to help the reader effectively argue how a work can be considered postmodern.
14.03.22 Working in the Performance Sector - Presentation guidance and budgetLouise Douse

14.03.22 Conducting your research - Data collectionLouise Douse
This document discusses guidelines and considerations for conducting research for a dissertation or practice as research project. It outlines the threshold criteria for both types of projects, including demonstrating subject knowledge, critically applying appropriate analysis methods, communicating ideas effectively, and working independently to source research. It provides tips for developing a research plan such as determining needed information, deciding on data analysis methods, collecting data through various means, and keeping thorough records. Ethical approval is also required before contacting participants.
The document provides guidance on analyzing a work's postmodern characteristics in an essay. It recommends beginning with defining postmodernism and discussing key postmodern themes/styles. Students should then identify these elements in their chosen work, drawing parallels between the work's themes/styles and postmodern concepts like intertextuality, pastiche, irony and juxtaposition. The document offers prompts for discussing how the work challenges assumptions or stereotypes, incorporates other cultural works, uses technology to comment on reality's construction, and employs nonlinear storytelling or fragmentation.
07.03.22 Working in the Performance Sector - MarketingLouise Douse
The document discusses marketing strategies for the performance sector. It covers who the target audience is, where to find them (both online and offline), what types of content to create, when to distribute content for promotions, why content marketing is focused on customer problems rather than selling, and how to create and share valuable content through blogs, workshops, social media and more. The overall strategy is to engage and connect with customers at each stage of their journey through relevant content marketing.
07.03.22 Questionnaires and InterviewsLouise Douse
Questionnaires and interviews can both be useful research tools. Questionnaires allow researchers to gather data from large groups of people and obtain both quantitative and qualitative information. However, questionnaires risk low response rates and misinterpretation of questions. Interviews enable researchers to obtain rich qualitative data through follow-up questions, but they are time-intensive and results cannot be generalized. Well-designed questions, clear instructions, and ethical treatment of participants are important considerations for both questionnaires and interviews.
28.02.22 Analysing Performance - Signifier and SignifiedLouise Douse
This document discusses semiotics and structuralism as applied to analyzing performance. It explains that semiotics looks at the relationship between culture, communication, and meaning. It outlines Ferdinand de Saussure's theories of the sign, which is the basic unit of meaning, consisting of the signifier (sensory perception) and the signified (concept or meaning). Meaning occurs through the relationship between the signifier and signified, not inherently within either. Charles Peirce expanded on this, describing three types of relationships between signifier and signified: iconic, where the signifier resembles the signified; indexical, where there is a causal relationship; and symbolic, where the relationship is arbitrary and culturally agreed upon
28.02.22 Working in the performance sector - Education and outreachLouise Douse
This document provides an overview of outreach work in the performing arts sector. It discusses what outreach is, why companies engage in it, where it takes place, who delivers it, and how it is delivered. Outreach can include workshops, classes, and other educational programs aimed at connecting with communities and building audiences. It is undertaken by companies of all sizes, from large organizations with dedicated education departments to small companies where artists deliver outreach themselves. Funding, resources, goals, and alignment with company values must all be considered when planning outreach programs.
28.02.22 How to structure your researchLouise Douse
This document provides guidance on structuring a dissertation or practice as research project. It discusses that research projects typically require sections and plentiful headings, while arts/humanities theses develop an argument through core chapters. Standard sections include an introduction, literature review, methodology, results, discussion, and conclusion. Arts/humanities theses may combine the introduction, literature review and methodology into one chapter and have topic-focused discussion chapters. The document provides detailed guidance on writing each section, such as summarizing the research in the abstract and citing sources using the Harvard referencing style.
07.03.22 Analysing Performance - Denotation and ConnotationLouise Douse
1. The document discusses concepts from semiotics including denotation, connotation, and how signs can have multiple meanings. It focuses on the work of theorists Ferdinand de Saussure, Charles Sanders Peirce, and Roland Barthes.
2. Barthes believed that signs are polysemic (having multiple meanings) and that myth-making involves second-order signification or connotation, which can be ideological.
3. Barthes identified two types of second-order signification - connotational conjunction when signs reinforce each other, and connotational disjunction when signs have opposing meanings.
21.02.22 Working in the performance sector - Lighting, sound and video Louise Douse
