This course will focus on the development of improvisational dance skills and the way these inform choreographic sourcing strategies. Classes will begin with improvisational movement explorations that emphasize shifting between the comfortable/familiar and the new/unknown. Students will then collaboratively build movement choreographies using compositional methods that draw from the improvisations. There will be repeated opportunities in the last part of class to perform this material from different points of view.
Prereq: 4 CREDITS IN DANCE
