Seminaire Hutchinson 2024Avec Sydn ey Hutchihnson*

From the 1950s through the 1970s, East Germa n choreographers, dance teachers, composers, and ballroom enthusiasts worke d to provide their socialist comrades with new dances that would express an d encourage joy in the “new life” socialism provided. Drawing ideas from US , Latin American, and Eastern Bloc trends and employing their own creativit y, committees regularly put out dance ideas, premiered them in festivals, a nd encouraged “dance circles” at businesses, villages, and neighborhoods to take them up. Mgazines published dozens of these new choreographies and sc ores to allow for amateur recreation, and they spanned “Modetänze” (dance t rends or social partner dances), new folk dances, and imported internationa l dances reworked in East German style. Only a few became popular; others w ere performed only on a single occasion.

Understanding how these danc es were created and used, as well as what they meant in their historical co ntext, is one part of my larger project entitled “Second World Music: Latin America, East Germany, and the Sonic Circuitry of Socialism.” I will speak about how the social dances fit into my larger investigation into the perf ormance of socialist internationalism. I will also discuss the methodology I am employing to reconstruct and perform the dances and their music as a f orm of participant-observation in a no-longer-existing dance culture. Toget her we will explore these new creations, their choreomusical successes and failures, by doing the dances ourselves and considering our own bodily expe riences of the material.
