What is the impact of sound in the body? Are ‘groove,’ ‘the beat,’ and feeling music, universal experiences? Exploring the relationship between music and bodies, this course requires music listening and some guided movement experimentation. Topics considered include musical gestures, music and the senses, embodied meaning, trance, musical and dance improvisation (in Western and non-Western contexts), and the entanglements and intersections of music in the body with race and sexuality.
