Content
Students will undertake regular technique classes which increasingly refer to resources for building kinaesthetic imagination and articulation. These resources can include developmental movement, ideokinesis, and release technique. Composition seminars introduce experimental approaches used by post-modern dance artists in the second part of the twentieth century. Readings in dance history leading to written discussion of an essay question also focus on this period.
