Course Description

Summary

BFA students only This course gives students the opportunity to encounter, participate in and design choreographic practices with an emphasis on the vast approaches to process and artistic research that are current and emergent in the expanded field of dance. The course challenges students to develop relationships to performance/performative action as research. We will engage practices where seeing and being seen by each other are central, studying the ways in which witnessing one another in process stimulates and deepens learning. Critical Dance Processes: Actions 1 will serve as a space where civic thinking is enacted - where we learn how to re-imagine and re-shape our relationships to the world we live in, where we face urgent questions surrounding how to work together to manifest the futures we desire. Required outside study hours will be completed through placement in open studio practice and/or process sessions that are not part of the student's registered course plan.
