Dance is a way of knowing
Dance is an embodied and energetic way of experiencing and understanding oneself in real time and space. As a performing art, kinesthetic experience, creative process and cultural representation, dance is a source, and interpretation, of artistic, personal, theoretical, social, cultural, and historical ideas.
The School of Dance is an empowering educational community that thrives on a spirit of investigation. Anchored in a vibrant Research 1 context, students and faculty investigate a range of creative and scholarly pursuits in areas including embodied practice, choreography, Screendance, improvisation, pedagogy, history and theory, media arts, somatics, and community-engaged projects.
