DANC 490

Credit: 1 hours.

Provides students the opportunity to deepen their investigations into dance-making through working with a small cast of undergraduate students (and first-year graduates) on a weekly basis. This course is designed for experimentation and process development and provides opportunities to explore ideas not necessarily aimed for public performance but ideally contributing to the graduate student’s research trajectory. This research will inevitably feed into and support the thesis project. Students will gain experience in directing performers, leading rehearsals, and creating a culture of creativity and inclusiveness while forwarding their artistic vision.

No undergraduate credit. 1 graduate hour. Approved for Letter and S/U grading. May be repeated in separate terms to a maximum of 4 hours. Prerequisite: Restricted to graduate students in Dance.
