DANC 364 Choreography II
This course builds upon the elements of the craft of choreography: space, time, effort/force and motivation from DANC 264 - Choreography I. The concepts learned can be applied to any genre of dance when choreographing. Movement invention will be approached through improvisation, movement studies, readings, performance viewings, video viewings and written assignments. An emphasis will be placed upon discovering your own unique expressive movement vocabulary and deepening your powers of observation of self, others and the world around you. Dancers will learn how to investigate movement and to probe and manipulate movement materials. Concepts will be explored as group dance composition. In preparing for a final composition showing, dancers will investigate issues that are important and use their findings to create a final work, a group work, either set on peers from class or people from outside the class. Dancers will leave this class with different methods of how to generate movement for themselves, and how to describe their movement using language to others.
