- Reconstruction

Catalog description

This course functions like a performance course, reconstructing dance movement from a score for inclusion in a public performance. The 4-credit course is distinguished from a 2-credit performance course in that students will be responsible for the reconstruction of the choreography. The work can be performed publicly only with permission of the copyright holder of the dance. Students will meet for the standard 4 hours per week (56 contact hours) as well as be responsible 4 hours/week in rehearsal with other student dancers and work 4 hours/week on assignments. The standard commitment of 12 hours/week in and out-of-class may be "loaded" into Weeks #2-#12 of the semester, allowing the course to end before the semester concludes. Only offered occasionally.
