AIP: Actions in Practice
Course Description
Summary
Actions in Practice engages students in intensive study within the methodologies and philosophies of Sidra Bell.
CONTEMPORARY SYSTEMS - an interior & material approach to movement encourages provocative thought and an immersive approach to the subject matter of the body. The work demands a high degree of physicality and input from the dancers, encouraging them to execute movement with intention, curiosity, and empathy.
The pedagogical approach emphasizes collaborative models in which students gain insight into professional working practices and is designed to help students recognize tools, practices and methodologies used in both dance creation and performance.
