International Graduate Seminar: Montpellier
DAN5430B.02, section 2
Course Description
Summary
Spectatorship as Research: After attending performances of the Montpellier Danse Festival, the focus of each seminar is group discussion. Our task is to unpack, connect, reimagine, and think critically as well as creatively about our experiences of “audiencing” and engaging with art works. Our aim is to enlist the group’s shared knowledge as we engage generously, even experimentally, with international artists’ creations at the festival.
Learning Outcomes
- Students will gain direct exposure to and actively engage in a wider arts culture and community, whether at the local, regional, national, or international level.
- Students will develop innovative and experimental ways to language dance both verbally and in writing.
Prerequisites
Enrollment in MFA Low Residency Dance program required.
