Performing Anatomy: Body Technology

Catalog description

In Performing Anatomy: Body Technology, students will experiment with human anatomy as technology for composing original works. We will begin this process by learning movement patterns that survey the human anatomy. We will build onto this knowledge through improvisational studies that invite composing original multidisciplinary works in response to biomechanics like motion, force, momentum, and balance. Our practice in the studio will be supplemented by reviewing images, texts, sound and video as reference material. Students will produce studies in their chosen media. These multidisciplinary studies finalize each module and are presented publicly in a collaborative final performance.
