Question: Students are expected to use class readings along with outside sources such as online research, movies, books, articles or other sources of their choice. The papers are independent projects that will allow students to use their imaginations to discuss the ideas of a selected dance style related to the materials we have learned about in the class. It should be written representing diasporic views/ideas and the students should focus on two different world regions and compare two separate dance forms of their choice. One of these two regions should be South Asia.
Dance Styles: 1. Kabuki Drama
2. Kathakali
3. Classical Dance and Costumes in India
Remember that you should focus on two different world regions.
(Students should compare two dance styles; one from India and the other dance style from a non-South Asian world region.)
