Abby’s class offers a blend of contemporary approaches to movement with an emphasis on African Diasporic dance forms, such as House and current contemporary African dance techniques. Through this fusion of ideas, this class investigates the spectrum of ways that various cultures approach the moving body and how this information can be applied to what you are focused on as a dancer.

May Term GE offering. DANCE 2401: Western Concert DanceGE Visual and Performing Arts. 3 credits, M-F 9-10:45am. Instructor: Veronica Dittman Stanich. This course examines the history of concert dance in America from itsorigins in the Renaissance to the 21st century. We consider how dance participates in social and political trends, and how dancers and choreographers have “spoken” through their movement. Through our study, we practice finding meaning in this nonverbal, immediate, often ambiguous form -- a skill with broad implications across the humanities, sciences, business, and medicine
.
Digital Literacies, Materiality, and Community. AU13: ENGLISH 7889.01-0010 SEM 20852. Fridays, 9:10am-12:25pm, room 307 Denney Hall. New technologies present new possibilities and problems for communication and artistic expression. They help us see familiar textual and expressive forms in different ways and challenge us to reflect on the complex relationships among technologies, media, composing, and cultural contexts. Students in the class will be encouraged to identify a self-selected area/genre/focus of digital literacy practice in a community of their choosing and, then, to design and create their own small-scale media project that represents the interests and life worlds of the members of that group.
Intermedia Performance. Norah Zuniga Shaw and Oded Huberman will be offering Intermedia AU13 as the last composition course offered in EMMA before it becomes the Motion Lab at Sullivant. Intermedia is a comp class and it can count in undergrad contracts and grad choreography requirements. Students will make choreographic studies, watch lots of visual references, improvise, read foundational readings in visual culture, theater philosophy etc, and get hands-on experience with the cameras, lighting board, switchers, projectors and all the wonderful HD tech in the lab. Contact Norah (zuniga-shaw.1) for more details.
