Credits: 3
This course is an intermediate level exploration of modern dance, as seen through the postmodern contemporary dance lens. This course is designed to explore and enhance technical and artistic proficiency through movement, research, observation, and creativity. Daily class will include warm up exercises, across the floor, center phrases, and creative work that stimulates and challenges the dancers. Movement will be athletically challenging, nuanced, and rhythmically complex. Anatomical information is woven into this course to guide the students into further understanding of their bodies kinesthetically, mechanically and artistically. The course approaches technique and artistry as clearly interwoven principles.
