DAN 214 - Dance History III:1960s to Present

Institution:

Hobart William Smith Colleges

Subject:

Description:

As in the other arts, dance in the 1960s underwent tremendous changes and witnessed the breaking apart of traditional forms and aesthetic assumptions. Iconoclastic choreographers said no to the techniques and presentations of their predecessors, changing the aesthetics of dance permanently. This course starts with the revolutions in culture and dance of the 1960s and traces the growth and development of today's "postmodern" dance. Issues of body, gender, race, sexuality and cultural heritage form the lens through which contemporary dance and its choreographers are discussed. (William s, Fall, offered alternate years
