DANC 023A. Defying categorization: Contemporary dance and sign language performance

(Cross-listed as LING 091 )
This course interrogates issues surrounding late twentieth and twenty-first-century movement-based performance focusing on dance, storytelling, and sign poetry including cultural hybridity and the relationship between movement and text. Jumping off from the history of aesthetics and methodologies developed by performance studies and dance studies, as well as sociological distinctions of in-group/out-group, we will ask what gets performed, where, and why.
