International Graduate Seminar: Montpellier
DAN5430B.01
Course Description
Summary
Spectatorship as Research: After attending performances of the Montpellier Danse Festival, the focus of each seminar is group discussion. Our task is to unpack, connect, reimagine, and think critically as well as creatively about our experiences of “audiencing” and engaging with artworks. We aim to enlist the group’s shared knowledge as we engage generously, even experimentally, with international artists’ creations at the festival.
