Opportunities currently available with Theater, Dance & Media:

Visiting Lecturer in Dance

Description
The Standing Committee on Degrees in Theater, Dance & Media is seeking one-semester undergraduate course proposals in dance, specialization open, for either fall or spring semester in the academic year 2024-2025.

Theater, Dance & Media is one of Harvard’s newest concentrations. Our intention is to invite Harvard undergraduates to become art makers and researchers ranging across theater, dance, and performance-based media. Using Harvard's immense resources, from the Harvard Theatre Collection to the OFA Dance Program and the American Repertory Theater, our students will learn to hone their creative instincts, work collaboratively in small groups, and participate in professional departmental productions. Our courses range from physical movement, directing and design to creative writing, aesthetics, performance scholarship and digital humanities and emphasize the combination of theory, history and practice. Theater, Dance & Media provides interdisciplinary experiences in storytelling, performance and media to Harvard’s liberal arts students, preparing them for careers inside and outside the arts. For more information, please see our website: http://tdm.fas.harvard.edu/

We welcome proposals on any topic in dance and related arts, scholarship, and practices.  However, we are especially interested in proposals that incorporate performance as a mode of embodied learning within the curriculum.

 

Compensation based on rank / experience.
