DANC 203 - Somatic Landscapes

FC ARHU

4 credits
Somatic Landscapes begins with the premise that we live in the world through our bodies. Thus, if we want to become conscious of our relationship to the earth we must first become mindful of our physical selves. In order to develop our responsibility to the ecology, we must first develop an ability to respond. This course takes place at the intersections of Nature/Culture; Art/Science; Body/Mind; Self/Other. We will call on all the usual academic resources reading, writing, analyzing and discussing but extend beyond these to include sensing, feeling, and moving in order to cultivate a curiosity about our world.
