Critical Dance Studies — DAN4830B.01
This course looks through multiple modes of questioning, research, and a critically theoretical lens to put into consideration the complex ways that dance shapes and reflects our lives. We will look to scholars, artists, thinkers, and ourselves to process the elliptical paths people take to understand material existence through the relationality of dance. We will try to bring a scope of questioning to regard dance as an artistic practice which illuminates the continuum of time rooted in the lived phenomena of recognizing aliveness as it is lived.
