Title: Dancing East to West: Traditional Practices and Contemporary Debates in World Dance
Description: A studio course introducing students to historical and evolving dance traditions - Kathak of North India and Flamenco of Spain. We shall study these movement languages and dance forms as well as their historical, social and cultural contexts. Lectures, readings, class discussions and video viewings will complement regular visits by dance specialists in these traditions as we examine the contemporary gender and identity issues they raise as well as the emergence of new, hybrid forms and internationalist, postmodern practices.
Prerequisites: <b>PREREQUISITE:</b> DAN 209, equivalent previous training.
