NEW: PRACTICING ARTS

This course is designed as an anatomy class for dancers, prospective dance teachers, and anyone interested in the application of anatomy to dance technique.  Scientific information is limited to a need to know basis, focusing on the musculoskeletal system, with immediate transfer of lecture material to dance-movement concepts. This course will present a scientific basis for the human body that will aid in the technical and aesthetic growth of dance performance. In addition to the weekly lecture, the class will make frequent visits to the dance studio, in which students will be guided in applying scientific concepts to movement.

 

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.

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.
