Class Description:
This is the fourth course in the University of Minnesota's dance program's six-course dance composition sequence required for completion of a BFA major in Dance. This course focuses on deepening each student's understanding of the compositional tools they have already gained in this sequence, developing new ones, and applying these tools to their personal artistic vision in choreographing for groups. It also challenges the students to see tools and craft as only one part of the choreographic process and consider the possibility that dance making is as much about breaking and reconstructing old forms, rules and assumptions and searching for new ones. The course also focuses on continuing to develop participants? abilities as active dance observers in order to further hone their dance direction, rehearsal methodologies and ability to communicate critical feedback to other artists.
