CEAS 244 |
This course contemplates metaphorical nakedness and human and bodily experiences of time and space through interdisciplinary discourse. Taught by NYC-based artist Eiko Otake, of Eiko & Koma, students will examine how being or becoming a mover reflects and alters each person's relationships with the environment, with history and with other beings. Topics of study and discussion include Eiko & Koma's body of works, atomic bomb literature, post-war Japan, and environmental violence such as Fukushima nuclear explosions. Key concept of study is metaphorical nakedness and how distance is malleable. |
