Course Description

Summary

In this course, we explore theoretical terms that incite dancing=s possibilities. How does dance emerge? When or whom has its processes served? What theoretical  lines of inquiry have served those processes, and how have they fared over time? What tools do scholars bring to bear on the study of dance, and where are these  tools most effective? Required reading and film viewing will collude and collide with classroom discussion.
