Division I
This is not the current course catalog

Class Details

This course is designed for first-time dance makers as well as more experienced dance students who seek the opportunity to practice dance making in a structured, intimate setting in which students present work-in-progress in dialogue with others. Any genre or style of dance may be explored. Projects are designed primarily to empower the creator to clarify the intent and vision for their work. Central to the course is the process of giving and receiving feedback, which will follow Liz Lerman¿s Critical Response Process (CRP). Using the CRP system¿s adaptable nature during the course of the semester, groups will likely evolve their own procedures unique to their group. Projects will include solo and group work, site-specific dance making, and creating in collaboration. Students are expected to rigorously build upon and revise their work(s) by making active use of CRP sessions in three possible roles: artist, responder, and facilitator. Studying creative thinking by looking at process texts, films, and other documentation of dance makers in a variety of genres will give further context to our work. Weekly presentation of assignments, active participation in CRP sessions, identifying to the group one’s intended goal(s) for the week, written reflection on sessions, and final showing will be required. Three seminar sessions will be included in the class.
