Dance History & Theory

Reviews for this courseTestudo

Restriction: Permission of ARHU-Dance department. Credit only granted for: DANC283 or DANC383. Formerly: DANC283. With a primary focus on Western concert dance from the 20th and 21st centuries, this course proposes an understanding of dance as it is situated in historical and cultural contexts. Rather than proposing a canon of "masterworks", this course interrogates choreography and other dance practices from multiple perspectives such as feminist theories, race, gender, and sexuality studies.
