Course	DAN 260 Dance History
Professor	Leslie Satin
CRN	15306
Schedule	Fr 10:00 - 12:50 pm .
Distribution	OLD: A/C	NEW: Analysis of Arts

This course will explore some of the ways the human body has been "constructed" or idealized, in the course of certain periods in history when dance and choreography played key roles in defining the spirit of the time. Starting with French Romantic Ballet of the early l9th century, we will proceed through ballet and modern dance history in Europe, Russia and the U.S, examining along how the dancing body, both male and female, was configured and reconfigured by dance artists, both performers and choreographers. The course has a three-fold aim: 1) to help students piece together a chronological "narration" of the development of dance as a modern theater art; 2) to help them learn to deconstruct choreographic "texts" (as encountered in video tapes and live performances) so as to uncover the various ideologies behind these texts; 3) to introduce students to the craft of writing about dance, through reading dance critics and historians, and through writing their own papers. Materials for the course will be the books on the reading list, articles handed out by the teacher, dance videos and live dance performances at Bard and elsewhere if appropriate.

Professor	Leah Feldman

Schedule	Th 1:00 - 3:00 pm Fisher Perf. Arts
Distribution	OLD: F	NEW: Practicing Arts

This course will introduce students to a method that will restore muscular balance and efficiency in movement. Body Balancing Technique is taught on mats and also on specialized equipment created to give variable resistance and support for muscular action. The technique emphasizing body alignment and breath work enables the dancer to direct the movement out from the physical center. During the course of studies, the student will work towards precisely executed, smooth, rhythmic movements. The technique improves alignment, balance, and control, and opens the body to its full range of motion and ease. Practiced regularly the technique aids in preventing muscle and soft tissue injury. Limited to eight students. Dance majors and students who have taken Anatomy for the Performer are given priority.
