Contemporary Dance Studio Project 1

In this advanced technique and repertory course, we will engage in a rigorous studio practice based in post-modern dance modalities. Somatics, release techniques, contemporary floorwork foundations, contemporary partnering, and improvisatory frameworks are scaffolded to support the ongoing technical growth of the student practitioner and of a robust undergraduate company in performance. Designed to build strength, efficiency, and inspire a large, expressive way of moving through a three-dimensional sense of the body, our work will include movement research from the practice of Contact Improvisation, choreographic/compositional explorations, and through challenging contemporary phrase work. CDSP 1 supports ongoing technical growth and is repeatable for credit. Enrollment is by permission of instructor. S/NC.
