| Description |
An interdisciplinary venture between the Department of Music and the Program in Dance, DAN 321 concerns the interaction between music choreography in late modern ballet, contemporary dance, and post-modern dance. To establish a viable context for analysis and interpretation, the course will be taught chronologically, beginning with the late collaborations between Igor Stravinsky, George Balanchine, Aaron Copland , Martha Graham, John Cage and Merce Cunningham, and extending up through the recent reliance on ambient and natural sound. The course will address the manner in which both dance and music represent, challenge, and recode each other. |
