Course Description

Summary

In this course, we will immerse students into dance-theater, dynamic range of physicality, and how we can construct a lens that can witness and defy. Within Practice: We will challenge dynamic range, wild movement, shifting embodiment, texture, and world-building through contemporary dance forms, improvisation (jazz riffs), theatrical play and humanism, and rhythm. We will discover how narratives, histories, and new futures can unfold through the body, voice and text, imagery, relationship, and experience. Within Process: Through studies, scores, writing, and creation, we will play with dance + filmmaking, and immersive/site-specific dance-theater. Beginning with studies with camera, character, and initial research. We will develop this into arcs, series, and drop into the unknown to see how it can unfold. What are different ways we can build worlds? How can the archive, memory, inclusivity, and community also be a part of this? *BFA students may take the Studio Practice + Process course for CS credit.
