DANC 261 Introduction to Movement Analysis and Notation
This course investigates contemporary issues in dance notation and movement analysis. The course introduces students to a range of frameworks for distinguishing features of movement, and not only assists them in analyzing and performing by identifying significant elements of dance but also in creating a living archive. Exploring organizational principles and approaches of choreography and dance notation expands students’ critical stance towards composition and preservation of dances and the social and cultural structure in which they are housed. Students investigate a broad array of theoretical approaches to dance analysis as they apply to different dance forms and contexts. This enables students to become more articulate in analysis and performance.
