DANC 007. FYS: The Mass Ornament

What does it mean for a group of bodies to move as one? When did this become a valued element of ensemble dancing in western theatrical dance? In this course, students will examine mass dancing as an idea, through theories of the chorus and the mass, as well as in practice, through viewings of mass dancing ranging in contexts ranging from the corps de ballet to the chorus line to the flashmob.
