Assistant Professor of Dance Katja Kolcio added a Feet to the Fire module to DANC309 Advanced Modern Dance Technique III. The module focused on points of view pertaining to 1) how bodies/selves function, 2) how dance skills are cultivated and 3) how moving bodies/people relate to the larger environment. Based on these principles, her module explored more deeply how the physical and contemplative practice of dance serves as a medium for the investigation of the environment, how an investigation of the physical landscape of body/self deepens the understanding of the environment and how a deeper understanding of ecology/environment informs our understanding of our physicalized self.
