THDN 107 - Introduction to Performance

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

Utilizing improvisational structures, students will explore the performing body through movement, voice, character, and physical space as the basic elements of performance. Looking at some of the earliest performance traditions throughout the world, the course will examine the notion of performance as transformative experience and the dancer/actor as the unified source of performance. Specific contexts for performance will be studied, referencing Australian aboriginal, Asian, and Native American traditions, and how these influence and redefine the performer's intention will be explored. Finally, students will establish a working vocabulary for the performer that evolves out of their active experience and analysis. 1.00 units, Studio
