• DANC 270 Performance As Ceremony 6 credits

  This course re-frames Dance history and practice through the lens of “performance as ceremony,” foregrounding embodied knowledge as a site of cultural memory, resistance, and futurity. Students will examine Indigenous, Africanist, Latinx, and Asian modernisms, centering choreographers, performers, and theorists who challenge dominant narratives and the legacies of cultural appropriation. With particular attention to Indigenous contemporary performance and its cultural and historical contexts, students will engage in seminar discussions, embodied research, and site-based performance practices. Indigenous guest artist/scholar visits, and attendance at performances will be part of the class.
