Additional Description

Class Description

"This program is designed to introduce students to the humanities of dance. Dance language is culture specific and yet it is also inter-cultural with global connections. This ingerent contradiction is at the root of understanding other cultures as 'and/but' rather than 'either/or'. We will study some of the Asian cultures, African cultures, and North American cultures as all-program activities, with options to study Latin America, Europe (East and/or West), and Australia for indicidual projects." - Class description (1994) This was a group contract style class, specifically for those who had taken Introduction to the Performing Arts.
