Phrasing: Dance
S06
Dana Reitz
This course is designed for intermediate or advanced students who are interested in discovering and developing a sense of personal movement phrasing. Full attention is paid to detail, nuance, and finesse of any phrase material that is made. Students use phrasing as a way to explore both technical and performance issues and to consider how aspects of dance technique and performance directly affect and inform phrasing. Students are expected to learn phrases taught in class, develop and rehearse them outside of class, create and develop new phrase material of their own, and teach this work to others. Phrases are combined into larger dance scores that are performed in dance workshops, studio showings, or final concerts.
