"The pleasure of the text is that moment when my body pursues its own ideas-for my body does not have the same ideas I do." -Roland Barthes. Through guided movement sessions we will explore the body as a source for ideas. Using "Authentic Movement," experiential anatomy practices and compositional strategies, students will generate several small compositions and one larger gallery project exploring alternative spaces and the influx of various media (movement, text, images, technology, objects, sites, fabric). This choreography "lab" will help answer the question: How do you make a dance? For both beginning and advanced dance students.

We are living in perhaps the height of what might be called the “foodie era” in the U.S. The cooking and presentation of food dominates Instagram and is one of the key draws of YouTube and various television and streaming networks; shows about chefs and food culture are likewise very popular. Yet a now less glamorous form with a much longer history persists: food writing. In this course we will track some important genres of food writing over the last 100 years or so. We will examine how not just food but cultural discourses about food and the world it circulates in are consumed and produced. We will read recipes and reviews; blogs and extracts from cookbooks, memoirs and biographies; texts on food history and policy; academic and popular feature writing. Simultaneously we will also produce food writing of our own in a number of genres.

All stories are bounded by time: the time a narrative takes to unfold, from a single day to a century; the time between writing a story and the story’s events; the time it takes a reader to consume a narrative. In this course, we will ask, how does a writer choose the scope of their story? How do writers approach events that happened a week ago versus one hundred years ago? How does length impact a reader’s emotional experience? Students will write short imitations of published work as well as original stories, and read short stories, novels, and critical essays.

MUSC 341 Rock Lab and Lab 6 credits
This class combines performance and academic study of rock music. In the first half of the course, we will learn to perform simple songs in small-group coaching sessions with a polished public performance as a midterm goal. During the second half of the course, we will make recordings of these performances. Throughout the term, we will accompany performance and recording activities with readings and discussion about aesthetics, performance practice in rock music, and mediation of recording techniques, all extraordinarily rich topics in popular music studies. No performance experience is needed. The course will accommodate students with a range of experience. Students will be grouped according to background, interest, and ability. There is a required hands-on laboratory component, which will be assigned before the start of the course. In these smaller groups, students will perform, record, and work with sound in small groups. Work will include experimentation with electric instruments, amplifiers, synthesizers, microphones, recording techniques, performance practice issues, musical production, mixing, and mastering.
During registration, students will register for both the lecture and a corresponding lab section, which will appear on the student's academic transcript in a single entry.

PHIL 208 Improvisation: Acting and Thinking Collectively 6 credits
What if we don’t always think before we act, but let our movement, voice, and posture guide our thoughts? This class will perform improv theater exercises to explore how physical actions we perform collectively with others can influence our mental processes. To let experience take the lead, half of our meetings will be taught by a local improviser. The other half of our meetings will be devoted to reflection on and discussion of those experiences, paired with complementary readings.
