DANC 012. Dance Lab II: Making Dance

This course focuses on developing an individual practice and approach based on their interests and questions. This course emphasizes the creative process, how our choreographic practice happens in relation to technology and ways to expand our notions of dance making. We engage in interdisciplinary practices involving new media and look closely at different artists and their processes. Students will expand their ideas of choreography through participating in compositional exercises including video shooting and framing, discussions and critical feedback sessions while creating choreography of their own.

Students share bi-weekly regarding their practices and a final performance for the public is required.
Students with whom the choreographer works and who commit to 3 hours weekly, may receive PE credit under DANC 011A . Dance Production Practicum.
