This seminar course is designed to guide students as they imagine and design both their UMass Dance experience and craft their larger vision for careers in dance beyond university. Ideas and concepts that shape forms of expression are referenced and illuminated through writing, classroom viewings, listenings, readings as well as attendance performances. Students will research and discuss possibilities for futures in dance, and ask essential questions like: How do I view and write about dance from a critical perspective? What is the difference between academic and creative research?
