33-3444 Advanced Topics in Dance

Advanced Topics in Dance offers an opportunity for in-depth, collaborative research in domains of performance, choreography and scholarship. Each semester, the course will focus on specific themes or issues submitted to hybrid pedagogical enterprises that may include, choreographic, performative, and scholarly articulations. Semester long course topics may include: Dance for Camera, Post-Colonial Choreographies, Feminist Discourses in Dance, Physical Theatre Workshop, and Site-Specific Dancemaking Strategies. Through extended research processes-which may include extensive viewing of video and live performances, reading of pertinent literature, student driven choreographic workshops, instructor-led movement experiences, and substantial performance and production experience-students will engage with dance as a form that resists compartmentalization by methodological boundaries.
