Mix(tap)ing: A method for sampling the past to envision the future

This article outlines the theoretical and aesthetic considerations of Love’s performance-as-research method for developing interdisciplinary tap dance work – a method he identifies as Mix(tap)ing. By first narrating how he arrived to his current practice as a dancemaker and artistic researcher, Love is able to show the ways in which his method samples strategies, voices and traditions from the cultural past to imagine and work towards futuristic locations of liberation and possibility. Ultimately, Mix(tap)ing allows Love to layer intellectual concepts and theatrical conventions in order to design an approach to rhythm tap dance improvisation and choreography that is expressly Black and queer. This article is, in itself, a demonstration of Love’s method as it joins written analysis with a performed lecture script to evidence how Love has previously presented one of his Mix(tap)es.

This article is about improvisation, which is a term that nurses in Uganda employ to describe how they overcome the practical difficulties of working in an institutional setting, which lacks the necessary equipment, drugs and staff. On the basis of data from Tororo Hospital in Eastern Uganda, the article explores the meanings of the term improvisation, how it relates to a general discourse about the nursing profession, and how the nurses handle and make sense of a complex and contradictory work situation. Improvisation is a term that both makes customary nursing practice legitimate and supports a professional identity under pressure. It also articulates a nostalgic longing for better times – located both in the past, the golden age of nursing, and in the future since the term improvisation constructs current practice as an interim phenomenon. Thus, “improvisation” offers a way for the nurses to domesticate the contradictory forces, which play a prominent part in nursing in Uganda today.

History is a part of social science. In history, we can study the various events that occurred in the past that can determine what happened in the future. With this historical knowledge, we can find out the origin of these events in the past through various sources such as books, relics, etc. [R1] However, in the 21st-century history lessons are starting to be abandoned by the current generation because of the ongoing technological advances. Even though studying history is very important as a provision for carrying out life in the future. Therefore, by taking advantage of these technological advances, we can use the game Assassin's Creed which is booming lately as a way to increase interest in learning history. The purpose of writing this paper is to explain the benefits of the game Assassin's Creed as a medium to increase interest in learning history so that in this game the player not only knows the characters, the time, and the mission but also knows the storyline of this game because it is related to events that have already occurred. To achieve this goal, the article focuses on several questions about historical learning in the present and the use of one of the games to increase interest in learning. The research method used is a literature review that performs data processing and sorting according to the discussion topics discussed by the author. The data is in the form of 20 journal articles with a span of years from 2019-2021 and website 2 trusted sites. The results of this study are in the form of an explanation of historical learning in the 21st century and the game Assassin's Creed with several series that have different synopses but have links to historical events. Thus, technological advances need to be utilized positively through the use of games as a means of increasing interest in learning history.
