Tisch School of the Arts
China boasts one of the world’s oldest cultural histories—dating back over five thousand years ago—as well as one of the earliest dance and film histories. This course explores the country’s artistic legacy through Chinese arts and examines the history of China as it is interpreted within the context of theatre, poetry/literature, philosophy, film, and the visual arts.
The class also explores how the cultural and arts traditions of China have been adapted to contemporary life, represented by Beijing and Shanghai’s move into the forefront of the international arts and political scene.
After the course, students participate in a two-week study trip to China, hosted by academic and arts institutions in Beijing and Shanghai.
This course requires an additional nonrefundable fee of $1,983.
