Performance Pedagogies Of Dance
Course Description
Summary
PODs offer students the opportunity to make connections through multiple access points, especially in areas of performance. PODs are designed to help students recognize the tools and methodologies used in their own creative work both as performers and as choreographers. Structurally each POD is identified by a unique topic. PODs have required rehearsal times and culminate in a public showing.
The artist will create an original work with BFA students through an intensive research and rehearsal process.
Rehearsals, production sessions and performances will also happen outside of class times listed below.
