Movement Language will focus on how movement can work as a central tool in performance and storytelling. Building on the tools developed in Body 1, Body 2 will move from the foundational elements of breath, voice and body into a shared and communal space. Through a series of explorations and creation opportunities the students will engage in the myriad ways that movement can serve as text and provide structure for performance. Guided by a desire to fortify each artist’s individual movement style and exploration with expanded learning opportunities from other students and outside guests, the course will focus both on internal investigation as well as outward and collective modes of creation. The majority of this class is in the classroom with no required outside engagement.
