THEA 270 - Introduction to Dance Studies

Students learn about diverse dance practices and their intersections with race, gender, sexuality, class, and nationality. Through engagement with scholarly texts, performances, and some movement practice, students gain an understanding of the sociohistorical and cultural contexts in which dance practices are embedded. Students learn how to analyze dance and movement using formalistic and critical theory frameworks, which they pursue in a culminating independent research project.
