TAPS 193: Life in the Body, Performing the Self

No Class on January 8th. Class meets 7:00-8:50 every Tuesday beginning January 15th through March 12th, with a 10th and final required class during finals week on March 19th from 7:00-8:50. Also, students will be joined in the classroom by Continuing Studies students. Life is a performance of gestures. Dance is any conscious movement. Based on a "choreography of the everyday," this course invites participants to experience the subtle surprise of performing oneself. Working with our own gestures, words, thoughts, and perceptions, and drawing upon the basic elements of composition in performance, music, and choreography, we will develop a performance work in the mode of a "chamber piece." Building individual movement-based portraits, and then weaving them together as a whole, this gestural performance "chamber piece" will reflect the community of class participants and the Stanford community as a whole.nnConsiderations of time, space, and quality of motion will be at the forefront of our work together. We will investigate the cultural identity and history of our gestures, as well as trace the evolution of this type of performance work in art, dance, and performance history. Participants can expect to find inspiration, delight, refreshment, and renewal through this performance process. No experience is necessary, just a willingness to move and reflect upon having a life in a body at this moment in history.nnThe work of this course is the springboard of a larger performance work, "The Symphonic Body," which is scheduled to be performed at the new Bing Concert Hall in May 2013.nnCourse participants have the option to perform in the larger work.

TAPS 197: Dance in Prison: The Arts, Juvenile Justice, and Rehabilitation in America (DANCE 197)

This class works collaboratively with a local juvenile hall to use civic engagement and performance to explore the aesthetic, cultural and legal issues in the lives of incarcerated youth. In the process students gain an understanding of incarceration on an immediate and personal scale. Taught jointly by a Dance Studies scholar and a lawyer specializing in Juvenile Justice, we will consider what unique understandings are possible if we position the arts as central to an exploration of punishment, rehabilitation and recidivism in America. The course will examine case studies, historical and contemporary narratives about the social, imaginative and behavioral change possible through arts programs in prison.Half of the class meetings will be in Hillcrest Juvenile Hall in San Mateo, where our class will join with a group of 13-18 year old youths currently detained there. Dance will be used to help shape their individual expressive voices, and ours, through collaborative hip hop dance classes. Books to be read are Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption by Bryan Stevenson, and Last Chance in Texas by John Hubner.
