ARTT 061A. Site Specific

Students will explore intersections between the dance and architecture by developing site-specific choreographic-works and light-weight installations that come together in a performance captured by film. Through this work, students think about the shared concerns of the two disciplines and explore the mediating role that film plays for both practices. Movement, the body, time, space, and the tectonics of putting material and touch into relation will become a shared ground for exploration and the expansion of disciplinary knowledge. For dance students, the opportunity also challenges traditional modes of choreographing for the Western-frame of the proscenium stage; for students interested in architecture, working directly with a full-scale fabrication in real time outside of the norms of professional practice introduces alternative modes of working architecturally. The week-long, .5 credit course will take place during spring break in 2025.
