Dear Colleagues -- I wanted to let you know about an upper division
undergrad class I'm teaching this spring.that might be of interest to your
students.  In it, we will look at how institutional structures, currently
and historically, have enabled and constrained people's bodies and
movements -- and at how people have danced in, with, against, beyond, and
around colonizing structures. It will include a workshop and
performance by *Dancing
Through Prison Walls* <https://www.dancingthroughprisonwalls.org/about-us>
*,* (April 15-16) a week with Māori dance artist *Tiaki Kerei
<https://www.artspace.org.au/collaborators/tiaki-kerei>* (formerly known as
Jack Gray) (April 28-May 1), including a "Dancing with Joy" movement
workshop; and a guest lecture on Powwow with UC Irvine Professor *Eva
Macias* <https://dance.arts.uci.edu/emacias> (May 22) in preparation for
engagement with the UCR Powwow.

Please share with those who might be interested!

*Dance 134: Dance, Genre, Institution*
*Tuesdays and Thursdays, 3:30 to 4:50*
Professor Jacqueline Shea Murphy -- jshea at ucr.edu

In this course we will think together about dance in relation to
institutional structures, including: in and beyond prisons; in and beyond
governmental institutions (including courts, Universities and parliaments
<https://youtu.be/25AUCNZKEnY?si=ZR42XYH2sA6C3brq>); in and beyond
corporate endeavors (including at/as protest); and in and beyond stages and
arenas (from superbowl to powwow). We will explore dance as a mode of
shifting possibilities, considering the roles that joy, physicality,
compliance, disruption, pain and pleasure play when dancing within and
beyond institutional parameters.
