DANC 152 SC - Choreographing Our Stories (Inside/Out: CA Rehabilitation Center)


This course provides students with an opportunity to create dance and performance based on what is happening in the world around them through collaboration while focusing on the issues that affect the communities that they live in. Emphasis will be on the creative processes that are employed in generating dance and performance, while engaging in contemporary issues from the news.  Taught inside the California Rehabilitation Center, Norco, CA, this course is an unusual opportunity for Claremont College students to understand society through creating dance/storytelling collaborations together with incarcerated students.  Participants will study history(s) of dance and performance as a catalyst for social change and performances that comes from social movements. The course culminates in a showing/performance and interactive dialogue with the audience, made up of both non-participating incarcerated men and outside invited guests. The course concludes with written reflections.  (No prior dance experience required.)
