STUDY ABROAD with The Bassanda Project at the University of Bedfordshire!

Study Abroad Summer I 2019 MUHL4300/5320

“Vernacular Dance Practices”

STUDY ABROAD with The Bassanda Project at the University of Bedfordshire!


Led by faculty members Nicole Wesley (Texas State University, Dance) and Christopher Smith (Texas Tech University, Music), these concurrent Texas Tech/Texas State courses combine as a workshop in arts practice—making, teaching, and sharing music and dance.: Participants will engage in interdisciplinary and collaborative art-making experiences, integrating music, the visual arts, theatre, and dance, and investigating the philosophical and practical implications of such making to the health and survival of transnational global societies. The intensive workshop will culminate with a collaborative performance of music and dance students as part of a gala concert celebrating the partnership; this piece will be offered a repeat performance at the 2019 Arts Practice Research Conference at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas.
