BFA students only
This course gives students the opportunity to encounter, participate in and design choreographic practices with an emphasis on the vast approaches to process and artistic research that are current and emergent in the expanded field of dance. The course challenges students to develop relationships to performance/performative action as research. We will engage practices where seeing and being seen by each other are central, studying the ways in which witnessing one another in process stimulates and deepens learning. Critical Dance Processes: Actions 1 will serve as a space where civic thinking is enacted – where we learn how to re-imagine and re-shape our relationships to the world we live in, where we face urgent questions surrounding how to work together to manifest the futures we desire.
Required outside study hours will be completed through placement in open studio practice and/or process sessions that are not part of the student’s registered course plan.
Learning Outcomes:
-Generate individual and collective compositional and performative actions/studies
-Articulate how concentration, generosity and consistency affect co-creative processes
-Use embodied research to identify methods through which an idea can be activated within time and space
-Create individual and collective systems of self-reflection and peer review to expand capacities for choreographic thinking and relational engagement
