DAN 74000 - Aesthetics

A seminar examining a variety of global artistic practices and value systems from both aesthetic and cultural perspectives. The course focuses on a broad range of dance and examines how choreographers, dancers, designers, critics, audience members, teachers, producers and scholars function and interrelate. Students examine a variety of analytical paradigms– including structuralism, semiotics and literary theory – through the study of the major writers and thinkers in the field. A culminating study is typically a close analysis of the student’s personal creative work.
