Global Dance History Spring 2023 Wednesdays, 11:30 am - 2:20 pm Thomas Hunter Hall 700 In Person 3 units Adjunct Prof.Darvejon Jones [email protected] Response time 24 - 48 hours M-F Office hours: By appointment via zoom Prerequisites: Reading and writing proficiency Instructional Technologies: Google Classroom & Email Teaching Philosophy: Teachers are hermeneuts tasked with delivering education that contributes to enlightening experiences that aid learning. These full vessels, our students, have an infinite capacity for enlightenment. They bring their perception, ancestral knowledge and traumas, and their chosen identities that will enhance the education delivered to them. I, the dance educator, then, have the prodigious task of learning as much about my students as I can within the small amount of time we have together. Student growth and achievement are of high importance in my classroom. For growth and achievement to come to fruition, the environment must be safe for the student to inquire, take risks, and reflect. In my classroom, we learn about each person and how they best learn. We recognize that we are a community of learners, and as a community, we establish community agreements that will contribute to a safe space founded on mutual respect and understanding. Consistently referencing our community agreement, we build a class that supports a network of learning that spans beyond the classroom. We (teacher and students) strive to create safe physical and digital environments that are culturally sustaining and equitable. Course Description: Readings, lectures, films, discussions of 20th-century ballet, modern, social and popular theatre dance forms; analysis of individual styles and cultural trends.
