11:45AM-2PM
Days and Times: Thursdays 1:10-4:00pm
Locations: Goodhart Music Room or Goodhart Rear
(Please note that it is possible this course will go remote when it is necessary to ensure the health and safety of each course community member.)
Take a journey through citizenship, belonging, and revolutions for wildness and fugitivity guided by the lived experiences of prominent practicing teachers, choreographers, and performers of traditional and contemporary dances of Black and African descent. The overarching questions we will traverse are: What are philosophies and practices of integrity while traversing diasporic translineages and nomadism through dance? How do dancing diasporic beings/bodies push the boundaries of nationhood and citizenship? Grounded in diasporic Blackness, notions of diasporic citizenship, and Black radical traditions, this course will bring theory and dance/movement practice together through lecture, seminar, dialogue, guest artist/residencies with NYC artist NIA LOVE https://www.nia-love.com, workshops, and various engagements with our esteemed 2020 Flexner Lecturer Fred Moten. Dance/movement experience or background is not a prerequisite, although this course is a dance/movement and writing attentive course.
