Modern Dance Technique III

Catalog description

This course is designed to encourage students to expand their range of movement capabilities, discovering new possibilities in all planes of motion and spatial orientations. It promotes active participation with movement concepts and Somatic vocabulary. Classes explore fully body contact with the floor, the space and with partners and/or groups of individuals. Each individual will investigate their relationship with space, alignment, efficiency, weight and momentum as well as the effects of gravity, breath and effort. Each individual will realize the potential for artistic and movement discovery in and outside the classroom and will have the opportunity to develop their own movement vocabulary and descriptive language. Individuals will take a Hermeneutic approach to the study of the phenomenon of movement.
