Additional Description

Class Description

"This program will study the rich history of performing arts in two of the world's most ancient civilizations, China and India. These countries, located in South and East Asia, birthed the ancient philosophies of Confucianism, Taoism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, as well as the practices of tai-chi and yoa. They also are the home of composite art forms, such as Chinese Opera and Sanskrit dance theatre. China nurtures an extensive repertoire of oral and performing arts built on and blending together many cultural forms of music, dance, theatre, martial arts, and story-telling. India has a rich social and political history and is the resposity of the Indus Calley Civilization as well as the Sanskritic legacy of art, architecture, dance, music and theatre. In this program we will study these philosophies as well as the practices of tai-chi, yoga, Chinese Opera, and Odissi dance theatre. - Program syllabus, (2005)
