LD 5382 Applied Arts

(3 semester hours)
(Formerly AL 5386 Applied Ethnomusicology)
After completing this course, students will be able to work with a local community to catalyze the creation of new vernacular Scripture-based and community-development messages in indigenous forms of music, drama, dance, storytelling and other performing arts. They will be able to encourage sustainability by helping integrate these expressions into local institutions; design interactive, dialogue-based learning activities for art-discovery and art-creation workshops; mentor local artists; promote the dissemination of indigenous Christian performances; and encourage the positive self-identity that these forms may engender.
