- Class Description:
- What is dance? Where do we engage with dance today? Can dance "do" things? How does dance create social meaning? How can we write about dance? In this course, we will ask these questions while considering dance as a framework for the analysis of moving bodies. We will develop ways of interpreting and articulating dance through reading, writing, moving, and watching dance. Throughout, we will focus on the movement politics of race, class, gender, sexuality, and nation and the transnational circulation of various dance genres. This is both a seminar and a movement course. Come prepared to read, write, move, and discuss dance. You do not need to have prior dance experience to succeed in this course.
