DAN 278 - Choreography

Institution:

University of Rochester

Subject:

Description:

In this course, students will experiment with improvisational structures and various methods of making dances, focusing on examining craft in the service of choreographic expression. Students will be encouraged to curiously and playfully embody manipulations of movement material to better understand different points of view and to explore the elements of time, space, shape and effort to see how they affect quality and content. Drawing from dance, visual art, theater, music, writings and other sources, students will explore diverse approaches to creativity, experimentation and choreography. While masterpieces are not necessary at all times, commitment to and interest in what one is investigating is required.
