DANC 203 Rhythm in Sound and Movement
This course addresses the relationships between rhythm in music and in dance movement. Students acquire a basic familiarity with musical notation as an analytical and descriptive tool. Precise technical standards for clarity of rhythmic expression, as well as an array of compositional and improvisational methodologies for rhythmic invention in sound and movement, contribute to the development of heightened rhythmic sensibilities. Sharpened listening skills and habits, designed to apply to a wide variety of artistic roles and endeavors, are cultivated through study of the rhythmic features of music of diverse styles, eras, and cultures.
