Dance

Description:

Provides students with faculty mentorship as they create a dance piece for the Utah Tech Dance Concert. It also serves to demonstrate a synthesis of the skills and knowledge developed in the BA/BS degree in dance regarding choreographic craft and the application of costume/lighting design concepts. Emphasis is placed on preparation and professionalism in the rehearsal process, ongoing documentation and discussions with a faculty mentor, the finished choreographed work, as well as a Project Assessment Paper and Oral Defense of the dance with faculty. This course is designated as an Active Learning Undergraduate Research (ALUR) course. Students will conduct an inquiry or investigation that makes an original intellectual or creative contribution to the discipline. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Demonstrate an understanding of the choreographic process as creative research from artistic stimulus to finished product. 2.

Design and conduct rehearsals with peers in a professional manner outside of regular course meeting time, including technical rehearsals. 4. Demonstrate the ability to communicate one's artistic vision to production designers, directors, and other possible collaborators. 5.
