Humanities Arts Cultural Stu 0206 - Modern-Contemporary Dance Technique II: Advanced Beginning

Modern-Contemporary Dance Technique II is an advanced-beginning level class, which will deepen the foundational experience with modern and contemporary dance techniques. The studio will be our laboratory as we explore a wide range of modern dance concepts with a focus on sensation, initiation, expansive use of space, efficiency, safety, connectivity, and embodiment of phrase work. Along the way, we will also bring attention to alignment, spatial clarity, use of breath, increasing range of motion, and the development of strength and stamina as ways to nurture sustainable and deeply engaged dance practice. Keywords: dance, theatre, movement, contemporary, modern

Students in this course can expect to spend approximately 3 hours weekly on work and preparation outside of class time.
