Course Description

Summary

CONTEMPORARY SYSTEMS - an interior material approach to movement encourages provocative thought and an immersive approach to the subject matter of the body. The work demands a high degree of physicality and input from the dancers, encouraging them to execute movement with intention, curiosity, and empathy. The pedagogical approach emphasizes immersive collaborative models in which students gain insight into professional working practices and is designed to help students recognize the tools and methodologies used in both dance creation and performance. Critical Dance Processes: Actions II 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. Critical Dance Processes: Action II outside study hours will be completed within scheduled Practice + Processes class times during the term and must be approved by advisors.
