DANC 351 Dance Composition I
This course introduces students to the nature of composition through a variety of disciplines including music, visual art, poetry, and in particular dance. As a foundation for thinking critically about dance, students examine diverse choreographic styles developed in response to cultural, philosophical and artistic influences. Classes are structured around compositional exercises, movement analysis of choreographic homework assignments, readings and viewing seminal works of art on video or in museums. The goal of the class is to offer a forum through which students can deeply engage with movement creation, develop their own artistic voices and investigate new ways of thinking about form through the lens of choreographic inquiry. Additional lab fee applies.
