This course will focus on
developing the skills of improvisation and contact improvisation in order to
approach the task of performing and generating solo and partnered
phrasework. We will progress from solo
and group improvisation to contact improvisation and, finally, partnering. Additional
coursework outside of class will include participation in online forums and
occasional journals. Investigation of
these dancing modes is informed by the values and history of the Bill T.
Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company. Prerequisite:
Intermediate Modern Dance or the equivalent ability.
