DRAM 233 - Looking at Dance Theater

1 unit(s)

This course examines the roots of Dance Theater in the United States and Europe, and further examines its development and impact on both American Theater and Dance. Dance Theater embraces the worlds of the avant-garde, post modern, and modern expressionist genres and is responsible for the miasmic mixture and pure invention that we see in the 21st century. Through movement and dance we study economy of action, elements of butoh, dynamics, and physicality to create story and expression. Leslie Sachs.
