DANC 239 - Site Specific Dance

FC ARHU
4 credits
Students will study the work of numerous artists working in the genre of site-specific dance and explore the wide variety of ways artists attend to place through the body and movement. Students will follow their interests – environmental, architectural, agricultural, historical, aesthetic – to drive their art-making. We will spend significant time at our sites of choice developing structures and movement vocabularies inspired by and responsive to each specific place. By resisting the temptation to make dances in the studio and transfer them to a site, students will learn how the essence of a place, discovered through sensory information, uniquely imbues dance created and performed on site.
Does this course require off campus field trips? Yes
