DELving into Embodied Dance History is a six-module asynchronous course designed for dance educators who want to re-imagine American modern dance history through the lens of embodied and inquiry-based learning. Course content is derived from the DEL at Jacob’s Pillow DELving into Dance History series, created by Ann Biddle and Felice Santorelli, and investigates dance artists through multiple contextual lenses to gain a holistic and more inclusive understanding of dance history. Participants will engage in collaborative research, have access to multi-modal course resources and primary sources, and interact with the rich content on the Jacob’s Pillow interactive site.
Please note: This course is offered asynchronously through DEL’s online learning management system. Access to the course opens to participants at 8 am ET. Students taking the course for SUNY Empire State University credit are expected to complete assignments on a weekly basis, from March 3-April 13, 2025. Audit students may access course materials at their leisure, are not expected to complete course assignments, and retain access to all course materials for 1 year.
