The paper deals with the idea of participation or community in dance. The idea of community has become key in contemporary discussions about the globalization of contemporary societies, and dance has a large share in the reflections of these. Dance also has a very long tradition of community thinking. From this long and rich tradition, this paper will point out the ways in which the idea of community is reflected in social and artistic dances, pointing out both concrete dance forms and theoretical concepts, ideas and practices. Of the dance forms, the paper will discuss the tango pair dance, the flash mob dancegathering form as well as the contact improvisation developed within postmodern dance. Of the theoretical and philosophical settings that underpin discussions of community in dance studies, the paper will discuss the concept of kinesthesia or “kinesthetic empathy”, “mirror neurons” in neuroscience as well as philosophical reflections on affect.

The Arad Conservatory was among the first didactic institutions for the study of music in Europe. Researching its coverage in the local and national press of the time reveals the community's interest in the institution's activities, but also the involvement of the Conservatory in the social and cultural life of Arada. For almost a century, its students and graduates represented the backbone of the musical life in the west of today's Romania, and some of them knew the consecration at the European level. For Arad, the Conservatory represented one of the first solid academic structures, with a reputable teaching staff trained in European music academies. The first media landmarks in the activity of the Arada Conservatory, at its beginnings, including the forms of examination, the subjects of study, the teachers who left their mark on this institution, belong to the specialized weekly "Honmüvész", published in Pest.

A significant personality of the Romanian musical life, the composer Sigismund Toduță carried out an intense musical and didactic activity, the current prestige of the Cluj musical institutions being due, to a large extent, to his rich activity. Sigismund Toduță’s compositional style has a pronounced polyphonic character, impregnated with characteristics of Renaissance and Baroque music. Inspired by folklore, his musical discourse displays modal harmonies, sometimes intensely chromatized, and endowed with frequent moments of heterophony. The monumentality of his creation places him alongside the great composer George Enescu, as the works of both also represent high artistic values worldwide

The research focuses on a problem of the music of the second half of the 20th century, more precisely within the aleatoric current that developed in the 6-8 decades. This trend promoted, in addition to multiple compositional innovations, the principle of improvisation by which the performer(s) gets involved in the act of composition. The existence of an important variety of typologies and concepts under which improvisation has been used as a creative principle can become disconcerting for a performer eager to enter this world in which he will be forced to assume the role of performer and co-creator.

So far, the researchers presented divergent concepts regarding the 13th century seal of Anne of Bohemia, Duchess of Silesia. The controversy revolved chiefly around the identification and symbolism of the object held by the duchess in her hand, which is the main element shaping the ideological message of the sigillum. Settling this dispute seems beneficial for further research on the biography of the duchess because written sources offer contradictory accounts on her character and piety. Correct deciphering of the message conveyed by the sigillum can provide additional information in this regard. The above mentioned discussion was the reason to analyze the depiction of the duchess on the seal,with an aim of answering the question what kind of her image she wanted to present to the viewers. Such analysis was performed by comparing the artifact with seals of other medieval rulers from the Piast dynasty and rich, mighty women from Western Europe, taking into consideration also the political positon of Anne of Bohemia and accounts of her personal piety available from other sources. It allowed for verification of previous concepts of identification of the object held by the duchess and for recognizing it as fleur-de-lys (lily flower) and ascribing to it the symbolism of purity and sanctity, not power. Therefore, the seal of Anne of Bohemia depicts her as modest person, aware of her position in the court hierarchy, concentrated on the religious sphere of life, devoted to pious practices and worship, and cultivating the virtue of purity, particularly vital for the duchess.

The example of the digital performance of Simon Senn in Be Arielle F raises questions regarding digital imaginary, identification processes, gender issues, ethical problems related with the use of someone else’s body. These questions disturb, confuse the participant, and show the perplexity of the new experiences we all face in this novel, digitally, technologically impregnated world. During the Zoom-performance the attendees experience the transformation from being invisible to being present in the digital world. This valid “sea change” makes reality a fertile soil, an indispensable origin for digital existence.

Focusing on the case study of Improbable Theatre’s directing tandem Phelim McDermott and Lee Simpson (and their 2017 production of Lost without Words at the National Theatre London), Radosavljević 's essay traces a lineage of the contemporary director, rooted in the paradigm of live improvisation and facilitative directing associated with the practice of Keith Johnstone. Drawing on the notion of heterarchy as a principle of self-organisation, she suggests that the twenty-first century director can be characterised not only by an altered approach to authorship, but also to leadership and interpersonal relationships.

The article discusses architecture and furnishing of the protestant churches in Królewiec/Königsberg. At the beginning, it introduces terms connected with Reformation and, later, the article familiarizes the reader with the creation of the new approach towards art in church’s interiors. At first, the attitude towards visual arts being present in the places of worship could be characterized with adjectives „prejudiced” and (rarely) „hostile”. The attitude changed abruptly when visual arts became didactic and served that purpose throughout the entire early modern period. Local medieval architecture, which still was used by Lutheran parish as the place of spiritual and parochial life, was also accepted. Furthermore, Königsberg Cathedral became the most important necropolis in Ducal Prussia. The longevity of Gothic architecture forms in Royal Prussia caused future churches in Königsberg to be heavily inspired and borrow from it, and, at the same time, allowed these churches to engage in a dialogue with German countries of Reich. For example, the castle chapel was inspired by castle chapels in Szczecin and Stuttgart. In the seventeenth century, Prussian elites came along with Calvinism and, only after that, in Königsberg and other towns around it many churches inspired by Calvinist Netherlands and (in the eighteenth century) Calvinist church in Charenton (France) were created. However, it did not have much of an impact on churcharchitecture in general – throughout the whole early modern period it remained faithful to the Gothic architecture tradition.

As a long-time researcher of the ongoing history of the Krétakör (Chalk Circle) project – once a successful and much-awarded independent theatre group, now a centre for contemporary arts and a production company founded by the multi-faceted theatre-maker Árpád Schilling –, Tamás Jászay outlines the authorial profile of the taboo-shattering director, playwright and social activist, whose career of three decades holds up a thought-provoking mirror to the recent history of (Central-)Eastern Europe and Hungary in particular.
