Dancing Culture

Dancing Culture
In this course we will engage with how the practice and performance of contemporary dance both reflects cultural meaning and produces cultural change. Using case studies from around the world, we will investigate dances in their local historical and social contexts, and how they shift and change amidst global political economies and communication networks. This course consists of both seminar discussion of readings and viewings, as well as studio work where students will learn the fundamentals of contemporary dance technique and composition in order to synthesize learning into embodied form.
