Additional Description

Class Description

This was to be a four year Orissi Dance Curriculum. The first year would be the Core year, giving students an option of taking Beginning Orissi I, II, and III as 4-credit additional classes, along with a core program, or instead taking a 16-credit core program on South Asia that included the dance requirements. Year two required the student to take Intermediate Orissi I, II, and III. Year three required the student to take Performance Orissi I, II, and III. Year four gave the student four options: A. The student could take two quarters of the 4-credit additional classes, followed by an ILC. B. The student could take one quater of ILC and study Modern India, before leaving for India for 1-2 quarters to study with Guru Ramani Ranjan Jena in New Dehli. C. The student could tutor the beginning Orissi class for a year. Or D. The student could do a Senior Thesis on Orissi Dance.

Addition of the three year proposal

In 1993 another multi year program was proposed. The first three years were virtually the same, with the exception of the general topics of the intermediate class. The Performance Orissi classes were changed to Advanced Orissi classes as well. This also included an optional fourth year, which is identical to the fourth year proposal for the last one.
