This course develops performance skills for dance students through rehearsals and performances of a new dance work created for them by an emerging guest artist in the early stages of their career. This semester the course will be taught by Rebecca Stenn. By design, this course gives students the opportunity to engage with varied approaches to choreographic research and understandings of the body and of performance, as conceived and employed by some of the field's most adventurous contemporary practitioners currently practicing in the field. Students are exposed to a process of choreographic research, from the preliminary stages through performance. The performance work is presented at the end of the semester in the Lang Dance Production. Previous dance experience OR permission of the instructor is required. Students who register for Performance Workshop must be enrolled in a movement practice course (e.g., Trio of Contemporary Dance Practices).
