Critical Dance Processes: Research II
Course Description
Summary
Critical Dance Processes: Research II positions research as a multifaceted practice that includes dancing, reading, writing, drawing, sound-making and theatrical design. The course weaves studio practice and group study in a variety of collaborative, experimental and performative configurations. Time in class will be devoted to combinations of lectures, workshops, exercises, readings, discussions, viewings, listening sessions, group choreographic experiments and other kinds of events. Our sessions will also include an ever changing and accumulating assortment of artists, poets, scholars and activists to help deepen and expand our thinking / making, offering overlapping, potentially conflicting yet supportive examples of practice capable of refocusing and enlivening our perspectives. Critical Dance Processes: Research II outside study hours will be completed within scheduled class times during the term and must be approved by advisors.
