Choreography Workshop IV

DAN 420A is an advanced studio course in contemporary dance practices and techniques. Co-led by Professors Fehlandt and Lazier with visiting guests, this class will include training in modern dance, somatics, improvisation, African diasporic and contemporary forms. The course exposes students to the leading trends in new movement languages and explores how to advance a student's biomechanical and physiological understanding of their body. Select readings and viewings provide a lens to examine how dance and movement training fuels individual development, choreographic process and aesthetic research.
