Title

Anatomy for the Performer

Professor

Kriota Willberg

Schedule

Mon               5:00 pm -7:20 pm        

The course focuses on primary bones, joints, ligaments, and muscles relevant to dancing, the physiology of breathing, and the body as a complex physical system to understand better how to prevent injuries and how to develop a full range of expression with safety and pleasure. The course also includes kinetic awareness techniques that bridge the gap between intellectual understanding of anatomical information and actual experience of the body in movement and so help relieve chronic tension, gain flexibility, and deepen the body-mind connection. Students have the opportunity to work in depth on chronic body problems. Weekly assignments are given. The course is open to students in Dance, Theater or Performance.  Enrollment is limited to sixteen students.

 

PERFORMANCE CLASSES

Intensive technique studies are essential to a serious dance student’s training. Intending and current dance majors must register for four credits of dance technique each semester of their four years at Bard. Students are welcome to watch classes currently being offered to learn about the different modern dance styles/methods of teaching and the ballet for modern dancers.

 

DAN 103- Introduction to Dance

One credit each. Classes in modern dance and ballet intended for the beginner;  no previous dance experience necessary. Open to all students. In the fall, two classes may be taken for 2 credits which are indivisible: both sections must be passed in order to receive credit. New students with previous dance experience should speak with the dance professors before registration.

World Music and Dance

Professor

Bill Vanaver

Schedule

Tu                 10:00 am - 12:50 pm    

2 credits  In the past few years, due in part to the dissemination and popularity of the likes of Ladysmith Black Mombazo, Riverdance, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Paco De Lucia, and Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares, it has become evident in the public eye that the tremendous wealth and variety of world music and dance forms is truly staggering. Now, more than ever, a familiarity with the structures and styles of ethnic music and dance is essential for a well rounded attitude towards, and understanding of, performance forms in general. Since exposure as passive spectator can offer only partial impressions of these subtle styles, students will be given opportunities to participate physically in various world music and dance forms through movement, vocalization, drumming, and creative work. Music and dance of the Balkans, Central Asians, Native Americans, Irish, North Africans, Andeans and others will be highlighted in the course. Functional modalities, (i.e. religious celebrations, entertainment, status, courtship, work songs, chanteys, lullabies, etc.) will be investigated. Guest performers of various ethnic styles will participate. Students will be encouraged to use their own skills and bring in musical instruments, and will be expected to do independent projects in folklore, as well as creative work in collaboration with others.
