DANCE 23: Movement and Meaning: Dance Studies in Global Comparative Context (CSRE 159M, TAPS 159M, TAPS 259M)

This course introduces students to various approaches to studying dance in a humanities context. We will explore how people create meaning through dance and how dance, in turn, shapes social norms, political institutions, and cultural practices across time and space. The course's structure challenges the Western/non-Western binary that still pervades many academic disciplines by comparing dance forms across the globe on the basis of functional similarities. At the same time, we will keep in mind the unequal power hierarchies shaping our modern world, and therefore we will examine how and why certain forms have become delineated as 'Western' and others as 'world' or 'ethnic,' despite similarities in movement, meaning, or purpose.

DANCE 24: Introduction to Dance in the African Diaspora (AFRICAAM 24, CSRE 24D, TAPS 152D)

This course introduces students to dance as an important cultural force in the African Diaspora. From capoeira in Brazil to dance hall in Jamaica to hip hop in the United States and Ghana, we will analyze dance as a form of resistance to slavery, colonialism, and oppression; as an integral component of community formation; and as a practice that shapes racial, gendered, and national identity. We will explore these topics through readings, film viewings, and movement workshops (no previous dance experience required). Students will have the option to do a creative performance as part of their final project.

DANCE 27: Choreographic Film

Stanford Lecturer and Choreographer Alex Ketley will work with the students on the creation of a new dance for film. The class will consist of a number of rehearsals in the studio where the students will explore Ketley's movement vocabulary. When this movement material is built, the dancers will then take the material throughout the Stanford campus to be filmed with a curiosity about how different contexts and environments effect the quality and presentation of the movement. After the film is shot, Ketley will create the film, but also give all the participating students access to the raw footage in the event that they are interested in making personal edits of the material. Students with a background in ballet, modern, or hip-hop are encouraged to participate. Students with limited dance training are welcome and are encouraged to email the choreographer so that they can have a dialog about what the class will entail. Any questions can be directed to Lecturer Alex Ketley at aketley@stanford.edu.

DANCE 28: Integrated Dance: Dance and Disability Class

Stanford Lecturer and Choreographer Alex Ketley has had a long history working on dance pieces integrating dance for people with and without disability. The politics involved in working with dance and performance as it functions in the realm of disability are very potent. Society has inherent prejudices and fears when it comes to disability, and engaging this directly through the creation of dance pieces is a way to challenge assumptions of who can dance, and what a dancing body can look like. The class will function as a studio class, where dancers with and without disability will learn choreography as well as different improvisational and collaborative strategies towards the goal of the creation of a new dance work. Discussions and reading will also be involved around the topic of how the body, in all its different configurations, lends itself and informs artistic exploration and creation. Any questions can be directed to Lecturer Alex Ketley at aketley@stanford.edu.

Auditions for Evita will take place in week 1 of winter, but students enrolled in the course need not be in the cast to participate. On the flipside, students hoping to be cast are strongly encouraged to consider enrolling in the course. No previous dance experience is required.

DANCE 33: The Critic as Artist (TAPS 151D)

Criticism is art. It therefore must aspire to reach the heights, depths and strange in-betweens it grapples with in the art of others. Yet criticism owes a singular responsibility to these others, and to the wider culture it seeks to interrogate. Our interrogation will be generated by dance and performance criticism, with possible forays into live visual art, theater, hybrid forms and whatever else we think might suit our purposes. Various methodologies will be debated and employed throughout the semester, as students are encouraged to begin (or continue) developing personal philosophies and voices through their writing. Our meetings will be hands-on affairs, guided by student experiments. ¿Experiments¿ is a key word¿this class will function like a laboratory, an introduction to an unruly literary art form that is open to all individuals with an interest in better understanding themselves and their world through words and art.
