Studio Practice: Architectures of Strength (DAN2506B.02)

Cameron Childs

This studio practice course will utilize foundational strength training practices to help orient and organize the architectures of the body in relation to space and time. Concepts of curvature and linearity, the progressive mobilization of effort, and the question of how we meet and move space and how space meets and moves us will be addressed.


Learning Outcomes:
Students will be able to:
- Foster critical thinking about the dancing body and ways of moving
- Combine and organize a body practice that reflects on and supports the physical demands of the expanding fields of dance research and performance

- Demonstrate readiness to assume the working life of a professional dancer, whether in academia, world stages or within one’s community
