Silver Rider Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 His false air of superiority does not make a persuasive argument. Lady Gaga's generous use of costume reminds me a little bit of Loie Fuller. wiki/Loie_Fuller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knebby Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Saying that my students should have a better teacher than me is an insult too ....or maybe that doesn't count here?!?!?!:) My comment was "Your pupils deserve better" - and I meant FROM you , not than you. Your students deserve for you to accept when you are wrong, and learn from it, so that you can be better at teaching them. That's the LEAST they should expect. People don't resent those who make mistakes - they do resent those who refuse to learn from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Not that this will sway the loon, as he seems to have made up his mind regarding Lady GaGa, damn any evidence contrary to his opinion...but here's a couple clips that show LGG can do a lot more than dance or dress up.

What do you know of this field and what it implies both for teachers and students?! I've been working in this field for over 30 years and I can safely say my students prefer me to many other colleagues who only do this profession for the pay and/or to dogmatize their students in order to manipulate their ideas and thoughts:)!!

Walter Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Ah, "Speechless" my favorite song of hers. The song is partially about her father not going to get heart surgery to save his life and also about her on/off again boyfriend. After hearing the song, her father had the procedure performed, which was only days away from taking his life. The first clip doesn't come up on my phone, do you know what song it is? Thanks for posting them! Also, after reading my earlier post again, I want to make it clear to Knebby that I was not inferring that you were being disrespectul to the teaching profession. It kinda sounded like that to me when I reread it. I purely meant that I take responsibility for my comments alone and stand by everyone of them.

Silver Rider Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I had never heard of her before. I'm sure Gaga knows about her. She is a scholar of the history of the arts of all genres. Thanks for the link! You're welcome! It's the interplay of lighting and costume that characterizes the Fuller influence on how dance was staged. Lady Gaga is much more modern. You can see some of Alvin Ailey's influence in her choreography. nga.gov/exhibitions/2005/toulouse/stars The late nineteenth century was a transitional period for stage lighting. Gaslight and limelight had been used for most of the century but carried the risk of fire, as well as unpleasant odors and heat. Electric light, made possible by Thomas Edison's invention of a practical electric lamp in 1879, offered a solution. First introduced on a Paris stage in 1882, the new lighting gradually replaced gaslight and limelight. While electric light provided a safer alternative, the rudimentary technology had not yet improved the harsh and often unflattering illumination of its predecessors, which exaggerated an aged performers' facial characteristics. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In addition to Bruant and La Goulue, performers such as Marcelle Lender, Jane Avril, Yvette Guilbert, Loïe Fuller, May Milton, and May Belfort were popular subjects for Lautrec and his contemporaries. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce5pQkUZdWI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouillon Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Well I just saw her on Paul O'Grady. She seemed thoroughly nice, but I have to say some of the music sucked. A couple sounded like bad Aerosmith songs. She's pretty hot, too. Ok, she could do with some lipo on those thighs, and I can't believe she hasn't had a nose-job yet, but yeah, she got the ol' mercury rising. Is she really a rug-muncher? What a waste.
