How Movement Makes Meaning

Debra Levine
How Movement Makes Meaning (HMMM) was an intensive NYU Abu Dhabi 2018 J-term class on dramaturgy and dance. Theater Professor Debra Levine collaborated with choreographer Aakash Odedra during his residency at the Arts Center at NYU Abu Dhabi to create an opportunity for experiential learning. HMMM investigated the creative process of choreographing a work prompted by the current refugee crisis. Employing the techniques of dance dramaturgy, the course investigated how choreography creates meaning through bodies in motion, and discovered how a dramaturg can contribute to that process.

Decolonial Theories and Practices

Diana Taylor
Emerging predominantly from Latin America, ‘decolonial’ studies call attention to the fact that coloniality is not only not over, not post, but that it permeates almost all aspects of our lives: subjectivity, race, gender, language, as well as our epistemologies and pedagogies. This course from 2019 examined some of the basic elements of coloniality and the theories and practices that scholars and artists have developed to contest ongoing practices of “epistemicide.”

Art, Migration, and Human Rights

Diana Taylor, Marcial Godoy-Anativia, and Jesusa Rodríguez
In August 2015, a group of 38 students, professors, researchers, photographers, filmmakers, artists, and activists from 13 different countries boarded a bus in San Cristóbal de las Casas for a week-long trip across the southern Mexican state of Chiapas and the cities around it. The trip was part of a three-week course on “Art, Migration, and Human Rights,” offered by the Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics.

At Typefold, we specialize in all aspects of academic publishing and web design–from consulting, to design, content creation, as well as hosting and publishing. Started by Alexei Taylor, the original goal was to create preservable, shareable academic online books that could expand on traditional university presses and also achieve greater dissemination across geographical and linguistic boundaries with multilingual publishing options. Gradually, we focused on how these publications could be created through collaborative authoring. These new approaches create new kinds of scholarly and artistic works. We are currently developing new tools for building online collaborative classrooms that focus on how students and faculty can author together to build dynamic, archival projects to be used in the classroom.
