Class Description:: This course is the first part of a six-semester sequence in Dance Composition. Classwork consists of exploration of individual ways of moving via the improvisational process. Students will link this exploration to the fundamental elements of dance: time, space, and energy. Students will also examine metered time, musical phrasing, movement speed, shape, and quality. Focus will be placed on using various improvisational and choreographic structures to express a movement idea. Course objectives include exploring the creative process, discovering individual movement vocabulary, and experimenting with structural devices in dance.
