LD 5339 Research Methods for Performing Arts

(3 semester hours) (TBA)
(Formerly AL 5384 Field of Ethnomusicology)
After completing this course, students will be able to describe and interact with the people, structures, dynamics, meanings, and processes involved in creativity and performance in an ethnolinguistically defined community. They will be able to plan and perform research tasks using methodologies such as interview, observation, participation, note taking, and audio- and video-recording, in ways that will help answer questions such as the following: What kinds of performing arts exist locally, and which might be most appropriate to carry Christian messages? What are the factors that might affect the acceptance or rejection of indigenous-style performances by community members?
