Course Description:
This studio-based course is a deep dive into performance practice and composition, explored from a variety of perspectives and traditions. It culminates with performances of original compositions developed by each student. Geared toward experienced performers and makers, whether coming from theater, dance, athletics, music, visual art, film or any other discipline, our work investigates function, aesthetics, performance and composition for the expressive body-mind. While physical practice will be integrated throughout our work, students will investigate points of intersection across creative processes and disciplines fueled by student interest (possibly including use of text, image, sound, object, etc.). Coursework will also involve inspirational readings, critical discussions and feedback, guest artist visits and workshops.
