Finding Form: Dance
F05, F06
Dana Reitz
Every living thing, from leaves to pine cones to sand dunes, finds a form for its existence. How do choreographers find the form that best expresses the life of their movement? This course is for intermediate or advanced students to address questions about compositional structuring. Students of other performing or visual arts are welcome as well. Students are expected to make new material, develop and rehearse it outside of class, teach some of the work to others, and learn material from others. They will show their compositional work regularly, write about many aspects involved in their work processes, and draw (at times while observing others and while working in their own studio practice). Projects will be performed in studio showings, dance workshops, and/or the Martha Hill concert.
