Additional Course Info | Spring 2021 (Cross-listed as DANC 023A and INTP 091) This course interrogates issues surrounding late twentieth and twenty-first century movement-based performance focusing on dance, storytelling, and sign poetry, including cultural hybridity and the relationship between movement and text. Jumping off from the history of aesthetics and methodologies developed by performance studies and dance studies, as well as sociological distinctions of in-group/out-group, we will ask what gets performed, where and why. (This is the IntTh capstone seminar, but we are happy to include others with a strong interest in the cross-disciplinary issues we face.)
LING 091 Interpreting narrative through creation with clay and language This is a course using creative arts to bring into focus questions about the fundamental nature of narrative, about the analogies between different types of creative arts, and even about what a creative art is. Students will create narratives and realize them through the media of clay and language. Students will learn the basics of constructing with clay to create representations in shape and form in relation to their own linguistic narrations. |
