Immersed in these dynamic relationships created by members of this community from around the world, students develop practices, pedagogies, and research models that value experimentation and continuously question the role of dance within and beyond traditional environments. Using symposia, retreats, and residency frameworks as ways to gather and learn, this program aims to foster new communities and networks of exchange for knowledge production and artistic practices. 

Faculty, mentors, affiliated artists, and guest lecturers represent an intentionally diverse array of approaches to theorizing and practicing embodied knowledge in relation to citizenship and art-making.
