Full course description:

This course examines the relationship between the arts and sciences during what is often referred to as ‘The Anthropocene,” meaning the current epoch in which human impact on Earthly geography is undeniable and irreversible. We will investigate our roles and responsibilities as artists making work in response to our current political-social-ecological climate. With a focus on making-as-research, this course integrates choreographic inquiry with studies in ecology, infrastructure, postcolonial theory, and queer and feminist approaches to art-making. In what ways can we design choreographic/art-making processes and practices that reflect and challenge broader quotidian movement systems, such as urban ecosystems, activism models, systemic inequalities, and interspecies relationships? By developing creative projects through local site visits and field work relevant to student research interests, we will unearth the ways in which art does not only reflect the material world around us, but can also create and/or change it. Students do not need to have specific dance, art, or scientific training to take this course.
