Contemporary Dance Studio Project 2

Catalog description

In this advanced technique and repertory course, we will engage in a rigorous studio practice based in post-modern dance modalities. As the companion course to TAPS 1348 CDSP 1, during this semester we will focus on guest choreographies. Somatics, release techniques, contemporary floorwork foundations, contemporary partnering, and improvisatory frameworks are scaffolded to support the ongoing technical growth of the student practitioner and of a robust student company in performance. Designed to build strength, efficiency, and inspire a large, expressive way of moving through a three-dimensional sense of the body, our work will include movement research from the practice of Contact Improvisation, choreographic/compositional explorations, and through challenging contemporary phrase work. CDSP 2 continues to support ongoing technical growth and is repeatable for credit. Enrollment is by permission of instructor. S/NC.
