| Description | In this course, students will enter dance and dance making as
vehicles for embodied research and interdisciplinary dialogue.
Over the semester, we will make dances that move alongside other
disciplines. We will develop choreography while studying
narrative and poetic forms, utilize visual arts tools and musical
structures, explore intersections with architecture and
environmental studies and more. Visits with guest artists,
scholars, and students in other courses will help us launch these
inquiries. Throughout the semester, we will reflect on what dance
can offer back to other fields and the particular power of
movement as "a way of knowing." The creation of choreography is
an integral aspect of this course, yet rather than privilege only
the final product, we will invest in dancing as a medium for
research, discovery, and collaboration. This course is open to
anyone who wants to jump into embodied learning and making with
gusto. Keywords:Dance, Choreography, Performance, Research, Art |
