33-6181 Graduate Dancemaking I: Content, Structure, and Process

This course explores various strategies for constructing meaning and purpose within a dance event. Students will engage with the interplay between representation and choreographic elements of vocabulary, style and structure. Through peer and instructor assessment of assigned studies (which include solo and collaborative creations as well as set and improvised performance) students will be invited to consider how concerns of form, content and method all contribute to the emergence of a dancer’s identity.
