Advanced Improvisation Ensemble for Dancers and Musicians
Course Description
Summary
This class is for students who have had training in improvisational music and/or movement practices. Students will investigate and perform structures and concepts while paying attention to pattern recognition, arcs of development, and the building of gestural, sonic, spatial, and energetic movement and sound vocabularies. Solo and Ensemble practices will be collaborative between dancers and musicians. The performance of improvisation as composition will be shared at the conclusion of the class. Musicians should be able to convey a sense of shape and form on their respective instruments.
