Writing: Contemporary Performance Practice

Catalog description

Writing is a powerful tool, both in the artistic process and in the world of production and career. In this course we will work to strengthen articulation, clarity, and overall writing skills. Assignments will address various applications of writing for dance, through themed writing assignments, exploration of academic and creative writing styles, and immersion into relevant scholarship and research methodologies. The course will also assist students in development of a personal trajectory in their personal thesis process. Students will emerge from the class with writing skills that give them a sharper artistic perspective, and a clearer sense of their own direction in the dance world.
