DANC 190 2 - Dance Film: A Calculated Framing of Bodies

1.00

Dance Film - A Calculated Framing of Bodies examines the relationship between human movement and the camera - whether for artistic reasons or utilitarian ones - as a means for understanding bodies in motion, human relationships, and culture. Class meetings will be devoted to the review and discussion of pivotal projects and will cover the role of film and video in dance film festivals, art installations, theatre and dance performances, and the field of medical science. Field trips to exhibits, performances, and medical centers will be a valuable component of the tutorial. Students will further research work that aligns with their own interests and will ultimately present their research in the form of a paper or video project to be presented at the end of the semester. Writing option available. This course also counts toward a Film Studies major. Honors.
