Books about Anarchic from Amazon.com

Liz Aggiss and Billy Cowie, known collectively as Divas Dance Theatre, are renowned for their highly visual, interdisciplinary brand of dance performance that incorporates elements of theatre, film, opera, poetry and vaudevillian humor. They have created dance theatre, cabaret, live art, single and multiple screen dance installations, and live performance installations.
Anarchic Dance is a visual and textual record of the work of Divas Dance Theatre. The DVD-Rom included in the package features extracts from Aggiss and Cowie's work, including the highly-acclaimed dance film Motion Control (first premiered on BBC2 in 2002), rare video footage of their punk-comic live performances as The Wild Wigglers and reconstruction of Aggiss' solo performance in Grotesque Dancer.
These films are cross-referenced in the book, allowing readers to match performance and commentary as Aggiss and Cowie invite a broad range of writers to examine their live performance and dance screen practice through analysis, theory, discussion and personal response. As much as their practice is hybrid, maverick and hard to define, the various theories presented are equally challenging, lively and fresh.
Extensively illustrated with black and white and color photographs, this beautiful multi-media package is a celebration of Divas' boundary-shattering performance work. Anarchic Dance provides a comprehensive investigation into Cowie and Aggiss' collaborative partnership and demonstrates a range of exciting approaches through which dance performance can be engaged critically..

Description:
Anarchic hand syndrome is characterised by unintended but purposeful and autonomous movements of the upper limb and intermanual conflict. Based on predictions of internal models of movement generation, we examined the role of visual cues in unimanual and bimanual movements in a patient with anarchic hand syndrome and in a matched control. In Experiment 1, participants made unimanual movements in a sequential button-pressing task. The cue for the next target in a sequence appeared either prior to (exogenous) or after (endogenous) the initiation of movement. For the patient, performance of the anarchic left hand was selectively impaired in the endogenous condition. In Experiment 2, participants made unimanual movements on a digitising tablet to a target, which appeared either alone or with a distractor. While the presence of a distractor was associated with increased Initiation time in general, the patient's anarchic left hand was particularly vulnerable to disruption by the distractor. The findings of Experiments 1 and 2 indicate excessive reliance on salient environmental stimuli for movement production in anarchic hand syndrome. We conclude that in AHS goal-directed actions of the affected limb are particularly vulnerable to disruption by non-relevant information. Finally, in Experiment 3, participants performed unimanual and mirror-image bimanual movements on a digitising tablet to targets in the left or right hemispace. Coupling of the parameters of the two hands was evident such that, compared with a unimanual baseline, Initiation time of the intact right hand deteriorated while it improved for the anarchic left hand. .
