III. Special Notes

  1. DANC 110/410, MTJ - Musical Theater Jazz is restricted to Dance and Theater majors.
    Course Description: The emphasis of this class is on the physicality, expression, and musicality as we work to develop movement and performance skills as well as the skills necessary to work as an ensemble. We will cultivate our understanding of the artists who have shaped the development of jazz dance and musical theater as we explore applications of their work in a contemporary context.
  2. DANC 175 - Production in Dance will meet Fridays, 1-2:20pm throughout the semester. This class is required of all Freshmen.

  5. DANC 310, A - African will be taught by guest artist Alseny Soumah. This class includes a performance opportunity in collaboration with The Center for World Music on April 7, 2010. 
  6. DANC 310, BR - Brazilian Rhythms is an introduction to the different rhythms used in popular dances throughout the country such as Samba, Frevo, and Lambada.
  7. DANC 362, JT - Networking & Performance is a student driven explorations into the meaning and expression of "Networking" in our society, by conceiving of and executing performance events using networking technologies ranging from social networking (such as Facebook, IM, Twitter, live blogging) to live internet networked performance (via high-speed Internet2 connectivity) to developing interactive environments with wireless Local Area Networks (using Bluetooth and other LAN technologies). These performances will be incorporated into events at UIUC during the semester, such as the American College Dance Festival, and the class will collaborate with university students around the US via the Internet for various special events. Open to students from all disciplines, but particularly hoping for students from Dance, Theater, Music, and Art + Design, and from Computer Sciences and Mechanical Engineering.  
  8. DANCE 461, AS - Advanced Scores is restricted to Graduate Students. Undergraduates interested in taking the course must get permission from Kirstie Simson.
    Course Description: This class will be geared towards an advanced improvisation practice. Each class will consist of a short warmup together, the introduction of a score that will be danced for approximately 1 hour with time at the end for warm down and discussion. The class will evolve through the semester in response to what occurs in dancing. We will use some time to articulate our experiences in writing.

  10. DANC 581 - Aesthetics and Curriculum is a graduate level course offered through the College of Education.
    Course Description: Provides a synthesis ot theoretical and autobiographical perspectives on aesthetic issues and their ramifications for the development and the critique of arts curricula. Drawing on art as an important source of knowledge and communication, the course reviews ideas from aesthetics and arts education (e.g., music, poetry, visual arts, theater and dance education). Identifies principles common to all art forms but manifested differently in each of them to develop tools and skills for the design of, evaluation of, and research on arts curricula. Prerequisite: Graduate standing, and background with one of the arts, or consent of the instructor.
