| Description | "Desire lines" sometimes refer to the unofficial and uncontrolled paths made by bodies that are finding their way. In this collaborative course, "desire lines" are an opening to create theatre and dance exploring our relationship to the environment during a time of uprising and pandemic. Students begin by creating writing and movement inspired by their living spaces. They then move outside, reading artistic/critical work, and creating movement and text pieces grounded in questions: how do our identities meet the worlds we move through? How do choreographies of protest movements redefine public space? How do we move and speak in relationship to water, soil, and sky? Throughout, we will explore land and memory, and how colonization has sought unsuccessfully to silence Indigenous histories of all our spaces. This course runs parallel with Desire Lines: Mapping Home in the Dancing Body. Culminating work(s) will emerge through collaboration and will be presented together. |
