Course Description:
The focus of this course is to develop the skills to use improvisation as a choreographic tool. Students will learn to create a variety and range of different movement pieces through the exploration of tempo, space and duration. We will focus on experimenting with movement games and compositional structures, learning to articulate the process of creating pieces for performance while deepening our understanding of the history and practices of improvisation as composition. Classes will include a thorough warm up, as well as reading and writing assignments. Students with all levels of experience as movers, athletes and dancers are welcome. |
