In this course, we explore theoretical terms that incite dancing=s possibilities. How does dance emerge? When or whom has its processes served?

This class approaches experimental pedagogies as the many forms of study we undertake through our work/practice/research. The process of (un)learning also comes with any act of creative inquiry, searching, and experimentation.
The study we undertake through our creative, living, playful and abundant research moves in excess of institutional forms of knowledge
This course allows students more time to complete thesis project work.
Students propose an independent study plan with approval from Donna Faye Burchfield and select an approved thinking partner/mentor.
Credits to be determined between faculty and student.

Through mentor approved independently paced work, students develop and schedule their own weekly, planned creative practices using student-initiated resources and/or classes. Mentors guide students through the designed plan that can include a combination of practices, techniques, technologies and methodologies. The study format
Spectatorship as Research: After attending performances of the Montpellier Danse Festival, the focus of each seminar is group discussion. Our task is to unpack, connect, reimagine, and think critically as well as creatively about our experiences of “audiencing” and engaging with art works. Our aim is to enlist the group’s shared knowledge

1. Listening: the act of intentionally turning one’s attention toward the other 2. Coinage: the act of finding one’s language
3. Translating: the act of ingesting and

The record of the processes and research practices take shape in the writing and designing of the artist’s book. The Research as Actions are discussed and planned. These actions are shared informally and at the conclusion of the term.
In this intensive workshop format class, students will complete their artist’s book documenting and embodying their MFA thesis research, processes and practices. To make this possible, we will use software such as Adobe Indesign, Photoshop and online Blurb publishing.
Each graduate student in the program completes a final thesis as the culmination of their work
