Content
In this unit, students will research, practice, and utilise specific approaches to choreographic practice in relation to significant dancer-choreographers in the contemporary dance field. These approaches to choreographic practice will enable students to develop processes and content towards the creation of a work-in-progress performance at the end of the trimester. Students will engage with different dance making approaches with the aim of discovering what processes best suit their interests in choreography, and the particular circumstances of their own cultures, contexts, experiences, capacities and bodies. A series of assignments will give students practical experience in creating from within the given choreographic processes and assessing their relevance and application to the emerging aims of their creative practice. Assignments will be shown as informal presentations in class.
