Additional Course Info | (Cross-listed as DANC 023A) 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. We will address materials in Euro/American contexts and Asian contexts. 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. |
