Examines the interdisciplinary art of dressing the body for dance in its various forms: dance dress, "non-dress," costume, and everyday dress in relation to the moving body. Approaches these aesthetic concepts through cultural and historical lenses to enable students to gain perspective on this highly specialized field of design. Surveys documents and materials to encourage students to reflect on the overall concept of body movement, demands of choreography of particular works, and the effects of various fabrics in motion. Emphasizes research and collaborative relationships between costume designers and choreographers.
