DAN/DAT 905 - Beginning Technique:Body and Self

Institution:

Hobart William Smith Colleges

Subject:

Description:

Body and Self is a course designed to integrate dance and movement, self knowledge, and knowledge of the body into dynamic balance. Releasing unwanted tension patterns, developing efficient alignment and movement patterns, and discovering a wider range of movement capabilities is both the focus and the intended outcome of the semester's material. Modern dance-based exercises and sequences form the basic vocabulary of movement, but explorations include improvisation and selfdesigned movement sequences, as well. An underlying area of focus is on increased kinesthetic awareness, including exploration of bodymind connections and the ability to express that awareness in movement and writing.
