| Crosslisting:
CEAS 244 |
This course contemplates massive violence and bodily experiences of time and space through interdisciplinary discourse. Taught by NYC-based movement artist Eiko Otake, students will examine how being or becoming a mover reflects and alters each person's relationships with the environment, history, and other beings. Topics of study and discussion include war, atomic bomb literature, postwar Japan, and environmental violence such as the Fukushima nuclear explosions. A key concept of study will be metaphorical nakedness and how distance is malleable. Please note that homework load is heavy with weekly assignments and journals. Seeking collective learning, the course will culminate with a final project sharing. The class is fiercely non-competitive and non-technical. No previous dance training is necessary, but willingness to move with and in front of others is important. Please visit eikootake.org to learn about this instructor.
