From social movements to bodily movements, this class will orient us towards the positioning of who we are--not merely a matter of expression of ideas, thoughts, arguments, and rhetorical flourishes--through grounded, physical, embodied human action. We will explore how rhythm and receptivity are key to the realisation of our place (both dynamic and constant) in the world.
