4 credits
This critical inquiry course explores the relationship of the moving body to moving pictures. It provides a broad survey of dance on camera–since the invention of film, to its ubiquitous presence in modern-day digital mediums. Through a combination of readings, viewings, discussions, writing assignments, and creative exercises students will learn the affinities between the two mediums and be able to describe, interpret, critically analyze, evaluate, and create dance on camera.
