DAN 3140: African/Caribbean Dance and Culture
3.00 Credits
Northern Vermont University (7.1.2023 merged into Vermont State University)
The dances of Africa and the Afro-Caribbean Islands share components true of all dance forms which arise out of polytheistic cultures; they celebrate and acknowledge the complexity of the human psyche and of the forces of nature, and also through the human form. Many of these dances are practiced as part of religious celebration and ritual; others are secular. Our exploration of these dances will be through the lens of a living mythological system. We will delve briefly into the realm of Carl Jung's collective unconscious and the phenomenon of archetypes, and then look at how these archetypes are expressed in mythology, particularly as studied by Joseph Campbell. We will then examine myths and archetypes embodied by the dances, and experience the actual rhythms and dances, with live drumming accompaniment. Readings by Africans, Afro-Caribbean, and Westerners, and films portraying the great diversity within this dance form will inform and deepen our understanding and experience.

DAN 3210: The Emperor Ain't Naked
3.00 Credits
Northern Vermont University (7.1.2023 merged into Vermont State University)
What do the clothes that we wear and the dances that we perform socially tell us about who we are and when we lived? How does clothing inform us about a person's occupation or class? How do styles indicate age and sex roles? What can we learn about people's moods and opinions by looking at what they wear and how they move? How does underwear cosmetically redistribute the body to conform to the aesthetics of a particular time period, and why do these aesthetics change? How does clothing affect posture and the way that a person moves? How do clothing and dance affect one's health? What are the important social dances of each era? We will be looking at these questions in this hands-on, eye-opening course on the history of Western European fashion and social dance. This course meets Part III of the GECC.
