TDGE 40Dance and Social Movement(s)
This course studies movement practices from social dancing to political protest, including embodiments framed explicitly as dance as well as those not readily legible as such. How is moving a form of citizenry, refusal, community-building, art-making, remembrance, and communal forgetting? Framed as knowledge-making systems, students will attend to how dance and movement varyingly articulate belonging, joy, and discipline in relation to histories of race, gender, sexuality, ability, class, and nation.
