Academic Year 2002/2003
Repertory and Performance
DANC 378 SP
This course examines choreography and its performance as an embodied text. Students will research a theme-specific topic and participate in the creation of a contemporary work under the direction, guidance and
mentorship
of a faculty choreographer. This class will serve as a laboratory for experimenting with the performance techniques, and evolving methodologies of the teaching artist, preparing the student for the practice of embodied
research.
The course culminates in the performance of the work developed during the semester of study.
MAJOR READINGS
Students will be evaluated according to their ability to contribute to the collective research of the group and for the quality of participation throughout the creative process. Creative problem solving, memorization of
material, rhythmic and spatial
awareness, and performance skills necessary to the development of a mature artist will guide all work undertaken in class.
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
Daily attendance, assigned readings, and projects specific to the research theme undertaken by the faculty artist developing the work. Required attendance at all technical rehersals and field trips.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS and/or COMMENTS
A minimum of two studio technique courses in any tradition above the introductory level required.
Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the first class, they will be dropped from the class list. NOTE: Students must still submit a completed
Drop/Add form to the Registrar's
Office.
