Dance has played a part in communities for centuries. We will examine the relationship between dance and community from various perspectives and from around the globe through readings and film. Students will then explore the meaning of community while creating a group performance piece together, which revolves around themes of social awareness and active citizenship. Whether the function of dance is recreation, courtship, social change, performance or appealing to supernatural forces, this 2.0 credit course will offer a wide-ranging examination of dance's role in many settings.
