Dressage (biomechanics)


Nykeem meets up with Tai-Lee and her horse pal Gerald to explore the science behind dressage, which has been called "horse ballet". Biomechanics is key. The horse and rider must be in tune with each other as they use their muscles to move, to control movement, and to impress a judge. Dressage has roots in the training of cavalry horses in preparation for battle. Pro Olivia demonstrates some of the classic moves in dressage including passage, a half pass, and a piaffe. Biomechanics is the study of how humans and animals move; it is important to understand how a rider's movements affect the horse.

Is Race a Fiction?


From the Curio.ca streaming audio-visual collection. The scientific consensus is that we're all a soup of DNA, and that race is indeed a fiction. But where does that leave us? This round-table discussion - on the heels of Lawrence Hill's CBC Massey Lectures about blood - focuses on race, culture and the knotty problem about how we choose to identify ourselves. Lawrence Hill, Priscila Uppal, Hayden King and Karina Vernon have a go at a very modern, age-old question. Blood ties you to family, country and race. Should it? What happens to personal identity when race is removed as a marker of who you are? What happens when we use the term "culture" to replace the idea of race? The panelists explore these questions and more.
