Dance Improvisation I

SHOW FINAL EXAM SCHEDULE

Credit: 2 hours.

Exploration of the physical skills and philosophical concepts at the base of improvisation practice. Through reading, writing, and physical practice, students will develop individual and collective approaches to improvisatory structures, systems and performance contexts as well as look at the historical ways that improvisation has been used in contemporary performance. The course will culminate in performance in various public and private contexts. All of the traditions discussed and practiced are opportunities to research physical skills and self-awareness but also to interrogate the practice from a critical standpoint. All the material is meant to be digested personally, analytically, politically, and imaginatively.

May be repeated in separate terms up to 4 hours. Prerequisite: Concurrent enrollment is required in DANC 262. Restricted to Dance majors only.
