DANCE 15AX: Scene in Action: Dance, Fashion, and Visual Art as Performance

This course is a choreographic workshop and performance seminar, inspired by the abstract expressionist art found in the Anderson Collection at Stanford set to open in fall 2014 and the Cantor exhibit of Robert Frank¿s photography on view also in fall 2014. The period between the 1950¿s and early 1960¿s was a rich time for painting, dance, and conceptual and interdisciplinary art movements. Through this course we will consider how contemporary dancers/performers might express these ideas as a direct response to the impulses seen and felt in the art of this period. We will create a site-specific dance performance and runway show throughout the exhibition spaces in celebration of the opening of the Anderson Collection building at Stanford. nStudents will be encouraged to identify and investigate similar currents in contemporary dance, music, fashion, and visual art, integrating the historical and the contemporary into the choreography and performance. Students should be prepared to present, justify, and challenge what they see as viable artistic content from their contemporary world of dance, fashion, art, and music. nThe course will include studio practice in the galleries, guest lectures from Stanford faculty, curatorial staff, and outside experts in fashion and music, as well as field trips to San Francisco. Culminating performances will be presented during the fall quarter, at the program showcase, in collaboration with the Robert Frank exhibition at Cantor Arts Center and coinciding with the grand opening of the Anderson Collection.
