First, choose one (1) video from this week’s WATCH folder. Then, respond to the following prompts in approximately 250 words:

1. Briefly describe the dance in terms of how gender is being represented. Use movement description and be very specific about the things that you observe. How are women being represented? How are men? Think about how the dancers’ bodies move in relation to each other, how they interact, how they touch each other.
2. Then, write about how you think this dance conveys messages about gender. From your descriptions think about what rules for gender exist in this dance. How do these rules dictate how the dancers act and interact? What messages are in those rules about gender? How does the dance relate to a way of being?
3. Next, apply at least one of the ideas presented in the readings from this week to help support your thoughts and observations. In other words, what do you see that reminds you of the ideas found in the readings?
