Moving and Forming (Dance Composition)

Course Description

Summary

For both first-time and intermediate choreographers, this is an exploration of the basic components of moving and forming.

We develop improvisational scores as well as set pieces, and give particular attention to the performance site. Projects are shown in both theatrical and site-specific settings.Students are expected to attend Dance Workshop and complete a lab assignment (assist in a dance/theater production).
