The study and practice of contemporary movement vocabularies, including regional dance forms, contact improvisation and various modern dance techniques. Objectives include the intellectual and physical investigations of this discipline as well as increased body awareness, alignment, flexibility, coordination, strength, musical phrasing and the expressive potential of movement. The course material is presented at the intermediate/advanced level. Because the specific genres and techniques will vary from semester to semester, the course may be repeated for credit.

The course will likely be conducted in a combination of formats: online, and through in-person interaction whenever possible. Options for remote learning will be integrated into the course for those students unable to participate in person. 

Limited to 20 students. Spring semester. Professor Riegel. 

Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
