Dance 297X - ST-Intermed/Adv Contemp Tech

A contemporary dance technique course with a focus on intermediate/advanced embodied methods in praxis. We attend to dance training in view of the phenomenon that accurate solutions to motor pattern organization questions are invariably unique to a dancer, task-interaction, and environment. As such, we will investigate, develop, and share differentiated and common solutions to aesthetically-concerned motor pattern organization questions. We will examine the effect of shifting attentional focal points in order to extend our awareness of available dance performance states and to develop more adaptive motor pattern organizations. We will extend our ability to manipulate 3-space, time, and energy toward the intent of the dance.

Open to DANCE and BFA-DANCE majors only.
