PERFA 181 - Asian Dance in the Contemporary World Upper Division
Classical dance is a significant symbol for contemporary Asian nation states and their diasporas. This course investigates the category of “classical dance” and its performative value as a concept. Students will examine the key sources upon which the dances are based; survey the histories of the forms that comprise the canon; and situate the revival, reconstruction, and institutionalization of classical dance as a symbol of national identity and heritage in four nations. The course also examines the relationship between dance, transformation, cultural exchange, colonialism, nationalism, religion, and social history.
