This course will explore basic sourcing and methodology skills in critical dance research. It is required of all junior majors and minors who intend to engage in critical theoretical research projects. Specifically, this seminar focuses on the creation and production of a prospectus or research proposal that outlines exactly what the research question is, what sources will be used, where any field work will be done, and how the results of the field work will be reported, evaluated, and interpreted. When there are human subjects involved, the prospectus will also include the application of the Human Subjects Internal Review Board. The first half of this seminar will incorporate reading from various texts to reveal processes and methodologies. The second half will focus on completing the prospectus and securing internships and permissions to pursue fieldwork. Students are required to attend all regular class meetings, participate in discussion, act as peer evaluators and share the progress of their work in research with their peers.(2 credits)

This seminar focuses on the creation and production of an original choreographic work to be presented and produced. It is required for all junior majors and minors who intend to engage in a choreograpic project. Students will be responsible for all aspects of production of their work; lighting, costuming, music/sound, and set designs and will be expected to understand how decisions on each impacts their work and supports their creative ideas. The first half of this seminar will incorporate reading from various texts to reveal processed and methodologies. The second half will focus on completing the choreography and producing the work. Students are required to attend all regular class meetings, participate in discussion, act as peer evaluators and share the progress of their work in research and rehearsal with the class.(2 credits)

Through various approaches to learning (memorizing factual information, sharing personal body-centered stories, drawing evocative and descriptive images, and moving through guided developmental movement explorations), students will be introduced to anatomy and kinesiology in their own bodies. The course materials approach the body primarily through different kinds of movement activities in relation to reflexes and developmental material through skeletal, muscular, and neurological systems. Students are required to keep weekly journals, work in small study groups, and create a series of personal bodywork sessions for themselves to illustrate their command of anatomical and kinesiological terminology and reasoning.(4 credits)

4.00 Credits
Students will learn aspects of both a quantitative system called Labanotation and a qualitative system called Laban movement analysis is an exploration of analyzing and recording movement. The course will result in the reconstruction of small movement studies from scores and the creation of small movement scores from observation. Depending on the make-up of the class, we may reconstruct a classic modern or ballet work for performance and/or create scores for improvisational performing.(4 credits)
