Programs
Guided by an interdisciplinary faculty of artists,
dance scholars, and ethnographers, the academic programs in World
Arts and Cultures are organized around three fundamental missions:
- The formulation of critical and intercultural insights into
the nature of human creativity.
- The creation and interdisciplinary study of dance and other
body-based modes of performance.
- Mutually beneficial engagement with the diverse cultural
and artistic communities of Los Angeles.
The Department of World Arts and Cultures is an
interdisciplinary unit, which finds its raison d'être in
a set of intellectual and artistic problems rather than an established
academic discipline. The programs of teaching, research, and performance
in World Arts and Cultures are unified around a shared concern
with problems of cultural identity and difference; the meaning
of tradition in contemporary societies; the forging of connections
between critical theory and artistic practice; and the changing
social roles and responsibilities of artists and scholars of the
arts, both in the United States and world-wide.
The undergraduate
program offers concentrations in dance and world arts &
cultures.
The graduate program
offers an M.A. and a Ph.D. in Culture and Performance, and an
M.F.A. in Dance, with an emphasis on choreography.
Students at all levels are encouraged to explore
relationships among the different curricular emphases, including
world arts practices, cultural studies, dance studies, and folklore,
as a means to tailor a particular course of study to their professional
goals.
Students in World Arts and Cultures at UCLA study
with faculty members of international standing engaged in both
creative artistic work and research. Graduates of this unique
department have gone on to pursue advanced degrees and careers
in dance, folklore, anthropology, arts management or practice,
education, cultural policy, community outreach, architecture and
urban planning, law, public service, and many other fields.
