DANC 048A. Improvisation

This course is an invitation into the spontaneous movement form known as improvisation. Participants will broaden an awareness of themselves and others through creative play, guided movement explorations, online viewing assignments, class discussion, and journaling. This course aims to awaken and develop expressive and physical skills needed to react and make decisions in the moment. We will challenge preconceived notions and assumptions about movement creation, using material generated by participants to unlock new ways of engaging with dance. Ideal for any students with an interest in exploring performance, transformation, and the immediate moment. No previous dance experience is required. If taken for academic credit, two short papers are required.
Graded CR/NC.
