HUD 105 — Creating Dances
This course is designed to help students explore dance improvisation as an essential component in making dances. Experimenting with personal movement, students will study the basic techniques and methods of choreography. Students will use self-expression to promote analysis, imaginative reflection and participation in creating dances. Students will also view the works of a variety of modern dance choreographers, ranging from Martha Graham, Paul Taylor and Alvin Ailey to innovators in post-modern dance. Students will be required to attend and pay for a dance rehearsal and a dance performance.
