This course will explore the opportunities, responsibilities, problems and rewards of making, teaching and producing dance and performance in a local-to-global setting. The class begins with an exploration of the recent philosophical shift in the field away from "art for art's sake" and towards communitybased cultural work and artmaking. This will include an investigation of the theory that art and entertainment are competitive and/or mutually exclusive. Through in-class lectures and discussion as well as on-site experiences of cultural workers, arts educators, producers, and dance artists, students will learn how "the system" of the non-profit danceand performance world operates. Across the course they will be challenged, through reading, writing, discussion and other class assignments, to develop their own positions on the philosophical rationale and meaningful applications of working with audiences and communities. 3 CREDITS PREREQUISITES:33-2342 CROSS-CULTURAL PERSPECTIVES ON DANCE, 33-2343 WESTERN DANCE HISTORY, 52-1152 WRITING AND RHETORIC II
