DAN 207
Dance as a Force for Social Change
Credit—2 hours

Instructor:
Hook, J.

Dance is an irreplaceable way of understanding and expressing the world. Contemporary dance cuts across social, cultural, geographic and aesthetic boundaries, bridging between diverse cultures and traditions and giving a venue for exploring the complexities and ambiguities of human existence. Through films, readings and discussion we will explore dance as a force for transformative change in the 21st Century.
