Choreographic Lab

Catalog description

This course is designed as an imaginative laboratory in choreographic practice. It is time and space for rigorous play, where we will engage critically with our own respective creative processes. All class sessions will be devoted to choreographic practice in a mentored laboratory setting. Students will be charged with bringing in choreographic proposals or ideas on which to work with their peers during these sessions. Throughout the course, specific compositional and/or artistic concerns will be highlighted that will frame our investigations. Those concerns will be used to focus our critical analysis on an aspect of our choice rather than as a score that defines the choreographic proposal itself. Much of our work will focus on refining the process of choreographic practice in order to better understand how the processes with which we engage to make work shapes what we make. Formerly
