The Creation, Performance, and Practice of Speculative Human Order

Description from DukeHub

This class seeks to create, and enact alternative poetics of human relations based on expanded individual awareness. The course entails a weekly instructor-led practice of embodied strategies to develop new sensibilities and experiences in moving and relating to others. Students will be active performers in the creation of a 'social choreographic situation' at end of the term. Students will also conceptualize and realize their own individual social choreographic projects. Interdisciplinary discussions, critical thinking, reading, and reflections form an integral part of the class. No previous or specific movement practice is needed, will to physical experimentation is required.
