     Choreography and Performance

  • Non traditional partnering including contact improvisation
  • Improvisation with voice and movement
  • Textual resources for choreography - Original text is used as the basis for choreography (movement and text). We will explore the borders between dance and theater.
  • Artistic mentors for emerging Latina(o) dance makers
  • Latina Repertory Etudes - This class looks at Latina dance work through a historical, aesthetic, critical and performance lens. Students engage with the work through a short movement study and by looking at larger contextual issues that inundate the work.

     Lecture Demonstrations, Research Presentations/Panels

  • Lecture demonstrations that focus on contextual/performance frames that clarify for the viewer the various socio/cultural/political/spiritual narratives found within the dancing Latina body.
  • Research presentations for graduates - We will share our methodologies/challenges/findings as well as issues surrounding the concept of the insider/outsider researcher.
  • Panel discussions for cultural/ethnic studies, women's studies, interdisciplinary arts, minority programs, dance/theater departments and research methodologies. The Latina Dance Project panel introduces the concept behind the LDP and draws for the listener parallels, interdependence and contrasts between cultural dance forms.
