The aim is to heighten awareness of personal, practical, and policy implications of social theory, and develop critical responses to it. (Waller/Capraro , Spring)

This course examines the development of theatrical dance from the late 1800s through the mid-20th century. A special focus of the course is the rise of modern dance and the women who were its creators-Loie Fuller, Isadora Duncan, and Ruth St. Denis, and the women pioneers who followed: Martha Graham, Doris Humphrey, Mary Wigman and Hanya Holm. This singularly American art form was greatly influenced by feminist reform movements, and continues to be associated with political, social, and economic conditions and reforms. The course traces the development of modern dance through the tumultuous 1960s. (Williams, Spring, offered alternate years)
