Actions in Process: Junior Choreography Workshop
Course Description
Summary
Actions In Process: Junior Choreography Workshop positions creative research as a multifaceted practice that includes dancing, reading, writing, drawing, sound-making and theatrical design. The course weaves choreographic practice and group study in a variety of collaborative, experimental and performative configurations. Time in class will be devoted to combinations of lectures, workshops, exercises, readings, discussions, viewings, listening sessions and individual/group choreographic experiments. Our sessions will also include an ever changing and accumulating assortment of artists, poets, scholars and activists to help deepen and expand our thinking/making, offering overlapping, potentially conflicting yet supportive examples of practice capable of refocusing and enlivening our perspectives. The course culminates in public sharings of student choreographic works.
Learning Outcomes
