Humans are animals and share many traits with other animals. In this class a biologist and dancer will engage students in an exploration of structures and functions that permit all animals to process information, move, and react to their environments. How have these structures and functions evolved?  Can these insights inform how humans think, respond, move, and create? Students will be actively engaged in both movement and a scientific understanding of the body. They will design and conduct research projects that will be informed by the questions discussed in class.
