This course examines dance from a critical and intersectional perspective using feminist, performance and critical race theories. With attention to power and privilege, we use Dance as the medium to explore race, ethnicity, gender, class, sexuality, ability, age, etc. The class attends dance concerts around the Bay Area in a variety of dance styles and venues as a vehicle for dialogue. This course is writing intensive focusing on Writing in the Discipline for research purposes as well as grant writing and marketing skills necessary for the performing artist.
