This movement course serves as both an entrance into and a continuation of modern and contemporary dance studies. We will work with improvisational structures as well as set phrase material. Both these forms will be deeply researched and explored throughout the semester. We will support each other’s personal growth, artistry, and risk-taking. Week by week, we will learn a variety of movement skills and build anatomical awareness. Think of this class as a movement lab. We will move thoughtfully and research boldly, with an emphasis on individuality and healthy risk-taking. I look forward to building a creative and explorative dance practice with each of you.
