Dancers' Choice: Improvisational Frameworks for Intermediate and Advanced Movers

Learning Goals: - The intention of this class is to practice complex improvisational dance frameworks within a cohort of experienced movers. Students must have previously completed at least one movement technique classes before enrolling. - To hone improvisation techniques (with emphasis and guest master teachers instructing) on Contact Improvisation and Forsythe Improvisation Technologies, in anticipation of potential performance for live audiences. - To challenge and expand students’ memory, capacity for rhythmic complexity, competence and comfort holding multiple, simultaneous, and occasionally contradictory game parameters. - To foster a professional work ethic that can withstand abundant physical, emotional and organizational challenges.
