DAN-2400 Dance Composition II


Credits 2
This course is the second level of dance composition methods focusing on improvisational dance techniques in application to trio or group compositions. Students analyze a prominent dance artist’s compositional ideas of structure and apply these methods to a dance study. Students execute an intermediate to high intermediate level of dance techniques that enhance the compositional structure. Students demonstrate an intermediate level of compositional skills with the elements of space, time, and energy through increased use of choreographic devices. Students explore and experiment with sound/music based on choice and need, then create a score for their individual work. The course concludes with a student-created performance of a trio or group dance.
