The school operates two bi-annual field schools. One is in Ghana and the other is in India.
The field school in Ghana, which has been part of the school since 1999, offers intensive classes, workshops and performances with a range of professors and professional artists. In addition to immersion into Ghanaian culture, the courses examine African culture, politics, music, dance, history, aesthetics, ethics and linguistics. Living in Ghana during the course intensifies every aspect of learning. Hands-on experience in world cultures enhances an interdisciplinary eduction.
The India field school, established in 2007, has offered courses in Indian cinema, art and culture. The field school鈥檚 courses also explore the roots of contemporary Indian culture, ritual, politics, iconography and performance and have included workshops in music and dance and visits to religious rites on the Ganges River.
As well as offering disciplinary courses such as field studies, our field schools offer up to four dedicated contemporary arts field school courses. Depending on the topic, these courses may be applied toward a major as one of the required courses, as a studio or theory/history course outside the area, or as an elective.Contact the school鈥檚 advisor for information.
