| Course Title: Rooted Movements: Dance and Politics |
| Start Date: 09/07/2022 End Date: 12/20/2022 |
| Term: Fall Semester 2022 |
| Description: In this course, we will look at dance as a form of political activism, focusing particularly on Black Dance culture. This will be a literary, media-based, and technical exploration, offering students the opportunity to think analytically and critically as they hone both their writing and discussion skills. Our goal is to understand and appreciate the historical, political, cultural, and social contexts that influenced the creation of Black Dance culture and how the Africanist presence has shaped American dance culture. We will learn and explore dance movement together in the studio, but no previous experience needed! |
