Chocolate Heads Oceanic Body Project: Choreography X Design

2 credits · Undergraduate

Although dance is the main event, there is no limit to the elements you can use when producing a theatrical production. When theatrical elements truly complement the physical performance, the audience is invited to be immersed in the experience of embodied imagination. The Winter 26-27 project will be dedicated to the dance theater production of an ongoing Chocolate Heads "Oceanic Body" project, through continuing the process of developing movement material and understanding the relationship between humans, water, mythology and our survival. We will engage with a variety of theatrical elements and genres of performance-making to deliver an impactful intermedia event that will be performed as part of the Dance Faculty Concert in Spring 2027. In addition to contemporary dance we will delve into topics such as art & projection design, object manipulation, and live music. We invite dancers & interdisciplinarians of all styles and backgrounds to engage in co-creating an immersive visual installation. Contact Instructor/Artistic Director, Aleta Hayes (ahayes1@stanford.edu)to express interest or inquire about participation. Tu/Thu 4:30 PM - 6:20 PM at Roble Gymnasium 113
