Faculty will provide key
In this course we will explore spiraling in and out of the floor.

What does it mean to think of our study of dance and performance as an encounter and how might that thinking offer up a chance for one to pay attention differently? Is it different from research? Or, as Kevin Quashie suggests, does it perhaps re-situate the activities of
