This seminar will focus on the basic principles of successful composition in dance and expose students to live dance performance in the studio and on stage. Students will explore and experiment with movement in the dance studio and use dance as a vehicle to better understand the creative process in the fine arts. This experiential approach will allow students to look at how basic choreographic ideas can be used to better understand the creative process. This seminar will introduce students to basic improvisation and choreographic techniques in addition to basic dance technique principles that will lead to a stronger awareness of one’s body in space. Their hands-on improvisational efforts, individually as well as in small groups, will allow them to create their own work and more fully experience creativity in the arts. This is a movement class so be prepared to come ready to dance!
