Areas of study may include South and North American, Asian, European, and African Diaspora dance plus courses in alternative techniques and somatic-based training for the body. Consult Schedule of Classes for topic to be offered in a specific term. May be repeated for credit with different topics.

    Topic for Fall 2020:  Intermediate Tap Dance: This course will provide students with the opportunity to study tap dance in a more advanced and academically rigorous context than currently exists in Claremont. Geared to dancers at the intermediate level and higher, the course will survey rhythm tap, hoofing, Broadway styles and the study of historical, cultural, and aesthetic issues that underpin the movement styles. Students will explore the fusion of African and European aesthetics that make tap dance a uniquely American tradition while considering the social inequities and modes of resistance that contributed to its various styles and iterations as a social dance and performance idiom. By framing the process of analysis with an array of historical periods and cultural settings, students will engage in enlivened physical and social practice, while refining critical thinking, observing, reading, and writing skills. Students have expressed a strong desire to study the style at a more advanced level and with the same academic rigor that our department brings to other dance styles.

  • EA 110 SC - Experiencing Sustainability

    Our course will open new perspectives about sustainability and encourage students to build new tools to advance the field of sustainability with specific focus on the environment.  The ways in which humanity has approached sustainability have not appropriately addressed this complexity in the past, bringing us to a critical place in the present. This course will examine the benefits and limitations of past and current siloed approaches, deploying the methodologies of transdisciplinary inquiry. The course consists of several modules of activity- and experience-based learning. Service-learning components will invite students to experience radical social agency, and promote empathy and community engagement.
    Topics investigated will include: contemplative pedagogy’s first-person inquiry, bringing it into relation with the second- and third-person inquiry that are typically more valorized modes in academia; community-engaged performance projects and activated spectatorship (Boal’s ‘spectactor’ and participatory action research); transdisciplinary re-framing; systems-level analysis; complexity theory; action research and applied research; and artistic/scientific integration. In addition to some didactic and theoretical presentations, every class session will also involve student work in smaller groups.
