IVIAY 17, 1995 - WCC CAMPUS VOICE 15 Dance educator lectures, demonstrates movement By JENNIFER L. TAPE Fleming Lomax, dance educator in West Palm Beach, Florida, pre sented a lecture and demonstration on dance in the Lecture Hall on April 3 for about 50 students in literature, drama, and journalism classes. The daughter of Rosalyn Lomax, instructor of Introduction to Drama, Fleming Lomax teaches at Palm Beach County School of the Arts. Lomax traced the history of dance and demonstrated the basic movements of ballet, modern, and liturgical dance. Ballet, Lomax explained, began in French courts in the 1700s. A social dance meant to be viewed from above, it concentrated on making geometric patterns and creating "body pictures." Lomax explained that ballet has evolved into a more individual form of dance. She said that ballet has the quality of escapism like the fairy tales that form the basis for many of the piots. To demonstrate classical ballet, Lomax danced to a piece that she had choreographed to music by Vivaldi. Lomax said that modern dance originated in the United States where it was developed by avant garde women such as Martha Graham and Isadora Duncan in the late 1800s. Because contraction is the basis of modern dance, Lomax performed a basic contraction exercise. Lomax summed up the difference in ballet and modern dance by saying that modern dance is "less about destination and more about the journey." The last type of dance that Lomax explained was liturgical, a modern form of dance performed in churches to Christian music. To finish the demonstration, Lomax performed a liturgical dance to a selection by Sandi Patty called "Via Dolorosa." At the end of the presentation, Lomax answered questions from her audience and shared her feelings about dance in general.
