DANC 270 - Queer Gestures: Dance and Performance

FC ARHU CD

4 credits
How can queerness be explored through the lens of movement and performance? In this critical inquiry course, we will examine how the intersections of creative practice; live performance; feminist, gender, and sexuality studies; and postcolonial scholarship ask us to contend with competing notions of the body, environment, and performance. Students will engage with the material through a range of embodied reflections. The class structure will also include reading, watching, analyzing, and writing about live and mediated performance.

This course is appropriate for new students.
This course is cross-listed with GSFS-270
