Theater and Dance 253 - Intermed. Choreography

This course will provide students with tools and techniques for deepening and expanding their ability to express movement and help them create original choreography through a range of compositional structures. Using different improvisational methods based on diverse sources, the class will experiment with ways to generate personal movement and structure this material into choreographic works. The course will also help students develop clarity in their choreographic and performance intention and tools for discussing and analyzing the art of choreography. The course is focused on combining physical practice and creative methods with critical thinking in order to develop and extend each student's movement language.

This class is for students who are at an intermediate level in dance technique and/or composition.

Requisite: Previous courses in dance technique and/or composition. Limited to 15 students. Spring semester. Visiting Artist-in-Residence Cohen.
