Technologies of Movement Research

Undergraduate

An interdisciplinary survey of creative and critical methods for researching human movement. Humans move to communicate, to express emotions, to commune, to protest, to reflect and embody the natural world. Drawing on an array of artistic projects and scholarship in dance and performance studies, art, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, cognitive science, and the history of science, we consider case studies that take up movement as both the object and method of inquiry. Class time and assignments include moving, reading, and watching. All physical capabilities are welcome; no prior experience in dance required. Limited enrollment. See Syllabus page on Canvas for application. T 9:25am-11:20am
