101. First Year Seminar in Interdisciplinary Studies.
(3). (HU).
Section 001 – The Movement Workshop: Embodying the Imaginary through
Movement Imagery. The class will meet in one session each
week. Each class is divided into two parts. The first part, a
studio class in the basics of movement facilitation, will introduce
students to various modern-day approaches to dance movement. The
second will explore ways of communicating various "image
orientations" using the moving body as the medium of expression.
What images haunt us? empower us? define our individual academic
or artistic disciplines? our own sense of self? How do we house
imagery in an expressive form? in our bodies as well as in our
minds? How is the visual or verbal linked to the sensory and sensual?
How is experience (or human intelligence or ability to learn)
determined or enhanced by the body's receptivity (or lack thereof)
to respond, identify with, or interact with images from both outside the body and from within? There are no prerequisites except the
willingness to participate actively in the exploration of all
kinds of movement, dance-oriented or other. (Sparling)
