Writing is Dancing, Dancing is Writing
DANC 107
Fall 2015
| Section:
01
|
| Certificates: Writing |
We watch dance and then we write about it. Dance needs writing to be understood and to endure. Or maybe not. Maybe dance needs no help. Then, what do we write? Writing as dance, in dance, of, from, alongside... As readers, writers, and performers, we will explore established and experimental modes of writing and choreography and look for ways that each form can stretch and challenge the other. |
