This class will be designed around the readings, viewings, discussions and creative sharings that illuminate the many paths of woman as artist and creator. The course will combine text, videotaped performances, photographs and journals to provide participants with the means to begin to observe, articulate and interpret the many ways women artists communicate. Not offered in 2000-01. Seminar meets weekly as a group to discuss topics that relate directly to student projects. Original creative projects must be approved by the faculty.
Creative work culminates in both written and performance work.
Offered both terms. DANC 225 and 325 may be repeated for credit. If a student has experience in music or technical theatre, other courses may be selected to meet these requirements with the approval of the department chair. Students with the desire for advanced degrees or professional careers in dance are encouraged to pursue summer study at the American Dance Festival at Duke University and to participate in the January Short Term dance intensives.
