Program Requirements Performance of Live Time-Based Art Works

Catalog description

In this course, students will work as performers within works created and directed by graduate and advanced undergraduate students enrolled in Live Time-Based Art (DNCE 7124). Casting sessions to participate as a performer will occur during the first Dance Meeting (DNCE 5506) of each semester. Following the casting session, performers will be placed in casts with individual choreographer/directors, who will create a rehearsal schedule in conjunction with the performers stated availability. Rehearsals to create and prepare the work for performance will take place twice a week for two hours. Rehearsals occur throughout the entirety of the semester, leading to technical rehearsals, dress rehearsals, and finally two public performances of the work occurring on campus at the end of the semester. Additionally, students will be required to attend biweekly showings at an assigned time slot within the Live Time-Based Art (DNCE 7124) course. Five such showings will take place over the course of each semester for each work in development. This component course is Pass/Fail and does not include written evaluations. Open to dancers of all levels of experience. Dance Meeting
