In this series of weekly presentations we will consider a wide variety of topics surrounding the actual act of art-dance performance. Topics to be considered include: (1) When does "movement" become "dance" and "dance" become "art " (2) What is the place of "dance as a social practice" in the US (3) Identifying modes of composition and performance as they are revealed, (4) Centers of power in U.S. art-dance (5) Somatics and the small dance within, (6) Dance careers that are not dancing, (7) Public and Private funding: Budgets, politics and power in dance service organizations (8) What makes John Wayne so identifiable : Identifying movement categories. Readings and viewing of video tape will allow students to come to the table ready to discuss, debate, and illustrate an understanding of dance's fringe activities. Each student will select one topic to investigate more thoroughly, contributing to a "poster fair" offered to the public near the end of the semester. This course will grant regular academic credit rather than the activity credit granted for technique, choreography and performance classe

This course will explore political arenas in Western art dance, both regionally and globally. More locally, how did 20th century politics shape what we call "an American art form " Which power structures supported the bourgeoisie vs. the revolutionaries of the 1930s How did Roosevelt's politics seal the New Deal for dancers What influence did World War II have on dance content Why did the Judson Church players want to "reinvent" dance in the 1960s Did the 92nd Street "Y" become a re-framed Settlement House of the 1970s What does the 1980s coalition of Jewish and Afro-American dancers indicate in American art politics These kinds of questions set us up for understanding appropriation, transmission, and migration of dance into and out of American soil. More globally, what is labeled Contemporary Western Art-Dance appropriates movement from many cultures and is no longer merely "Euro-centric." When will Afro-Centric movement be acknowledged Can US critics yet recognize, give credit to, and accept Asiocentric or Latino contributions This course will explore instances of these mergings, the political import of the appropriation of dance forms, the multi-spoked impact upon the culture of origin and upon the culture of migration, contending with the Western/Foucauvian concept of "authenticity," particularly in forms that evolve over many generations with diverse participants. How does this kind of thinking challenge the Western structure of art--especially performance art-- and connect the work of Concert Dance with other important socio-political "non-art" questions This course will grant regular academic credit rather than the activity credit granted for technique, choreography and performance classe
