This studio practice course continues the study of practices and principles of contemporary dance, as informed by the particular experience and performance history of each teacher. Attention is given to educating the body to move with specificity; to sharpening each student's rhythmic, spatial and energetic acuities; and to augmenting each student's range of qualitative possibilities. The course, which utilizes movement practices that are being utilized by some of the field's most progressive choreographers, will give students experience learning choreographed sequences, while also fostering students' ability to self-direct as movers. Prerequisite: a previous Contemporary Dance Practices course, a placement audition, or permission of instructor or dance program director is required. Space is limited and priority is given to students interested in the dance major or minor. Other interested students must contact the instructor or Dance Program Director for permission to enroll in the course.
