- Class Description:
- Dance 1401 is an introduction to global dance forms in society and art. It covers dance forms, choreographers and significant issues in dance through lecture, discussion, viewing of live and taped performances and movement experiences. The course presents international perspectives on how dance functions in specific cultural contexts and how dance traditions influence each other as cultures come into close contact with one another and through globalization. On a broader level, this course is designed to provide perspectives on how contemporary and historic dance forms can be understood as mediums for social, political and cultural expression through the intersection of aesthetic evaluations and varied interdisciplinary lenses. A main objective is for students to develop the aesthetic, cultural and historical awareness needed to form and articulate, verbally and in writing, ideas and opinions about the art of dance. By the end of the course students will be able to recognize a variety of dance traditions and connect their historical development to the specific social, artistic and political currents of their culture. . 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.
