You will examine movement ideas, develop compositional methodologies and create ensemble choreographies informed by research into the themes and issues explored in the lectures. The issues addressed may concern intersections between dance of various styles/cultures and: gender identity, race/ethnic identity, peacebuilding, preservation of the environment, and wellbeing. These topics will be explored through a variety of lenses that may include choreographic practice, teaching artistry, and scholarly perspectives providing a contextual background for entry into a wide range of professions in the creative industries. In this unit, you will engage experiential workshops that actively mobilise these themes and issues, as you learn how to develop choreographic methodologies and new modes of creating and choreographing collective bodies for social change.","title-full":"KDB224 Cultural Assemblies","title-short":"Cultural Assemblies","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=KDB224&year=2026","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=KDB224","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=KDB224"},"year":2026,"years":[2026]}
