DANC 352 Dance Composition II
This is a continuation of the study of choreography begun in Dance Composition I. Students are asked to merge individual creativity with acquired compositional skill. Students create solos, duets and small group works while considering the way that sound scores influence the experience of movement studies. This intermediate level course gives students a broader choreographic tool kit as well as context for working within differing aesthetic conventions. The politics of aesthetics are examined forcing students to locate themselves within broader historical, artistic and cultural frameworks. Through assigned readings, video and live performance viewings, written work and class discussion, students develop deeper analytical skills and greater clarity about their personal voice as dance makers as well as how choreography functions as a mirror for the times in which we live. Additional lab fee applies.
