Tisch Dance Works

Catalog description

The course provides a framework for the development of new student works in the Tisch Dance Works series of performances presented in the Jack Crystal Theater. All students who choreograph for Tisch Dance Works in a given semester are required to register. Students will engage pedagogically with the issues and challenges of the creative process as it applies to production. They will examine the nuts and bolts of practical choreography. Weekly discussions of works-in-progress will address each choreographer's concept, music or sound, rehearsal plan, and progress. Students will have the opportunity to reflect on the work post-performance. The course will utilize various critique models, mostly following the model of the Liz Lerman Critical Response Technique.
