| Description | This course invites students to explore dance as a vehicle for
dialogue with the world around us including the land,
environmental systems, architecture/ built environment, human and
non-human communities, and the histories and politics that shape
both where we dwell and how we dwell there. Desire lines are the
pathways etched on a landscape by people following their
preference rather than a proscribed route. Building from this
term, we will acknowledge and investigate the physical and
affective imprints that we make as we move. Students will engage
dance and movement practices all over campus, while employing
choreography and performance as modes of research that contribute
to and learn from other disciplines and systems of knowledge. We
will also look at dance works that delve into notions of place,
environment, and community. Students will work both solo and in
collaboration to create original projects that emerge from course
