THEA 143 - A Survey of American Concert Dance Credit Hours 3
This course is specifically created with the beginning dancer in mind. However, movement material can be adjusted to fit the needs of the students. Each meeting time will consist of a studio dance class (1 hour and 45 minutes), which will explore different movement styles from which contemporary choreographers draw. Dancers will be guided through a genre-specific warm-up and long-form movement phrases that introduce the technical requirement of each form, varied accompaniments, and performance qualities. Students will then move to a lecture hall where they will view a variety of dance films that will serve to give a historical context to the work in the studio and introduce students to artists whose work has broken new ground or stands as an example of the purity of a specific form. This segment of the class will also meet for 1 hour and 45 minutes.
