Programs- Summer 2008

This exciting trip to Salvador and São Luis in Brazil is designed to give students an opportunity to explore interdisciplinary and foundational learning in the area of world dance through interactions with and explorations of Brazilian culture. This includes all aspects of dance: music, historical and social contents; production; critical theories of performance, religious backgrounds; and theatre making – from current to centuries-old traditions.

Students will be exposed to a variety of dance forms, according to culture, place, time and event and will be asked to interact, explore, critique, and share their experiences as guests in Brazil. Finally, the course includes tours of local attractions, historical sites, and museums, as well as dance companies and a variety of live performances. This program includes mandatory pre-departure meetings in Milwaukee.
