Repertory and Performance
DANC 378 SP
This course may be repeated for credit.
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
To be announced.
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 rehearsals and field trips.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS and/or COMMENTS
A minimum of two studio technique courses in any tradition above the introductory level required.
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
