DANC 347 - What Moves Us: Somatic Approaches to Conflict Resolution

FC ARHU

4 credits
When people say we get in each others space, step on each others toes, dance around the issue, are they referring to dancing or fighting? Interestingly, there is substantial common language used to discuss conflict resolution and dance movement. What Moves Us: Somatic Approaches to Conflict Resolution will approach the study and practice of conflict resolution with somatics. We will read texts, including Getting to Yes and Difficult Conversations to learn effective communication techniques and we will practice nonverbal communication through role-play, physical problem solving, and creative movement exercises. This course is designed for all artists who want to move in a positive, peaceful manner. Field trips required.
