This course offers an in-depth exploration of aesthetic and interpretive issues in dance performance. Through experiments with improvisation, musical phrasing, partnering, personal imagery and other modes of developing and embodying movement material, dancers explore ways in which a choreographer?s vision is formed, altered, adapted, and finally presented in performance. In this four-credit version, the course requires additional readings and research into broader issues of historical context, genre, and technical style. Course work may be developed through existing repertory or through the creation of new work(s). May be taken twice for credit.
