DANC 3231

Choreography in Context: Danced Collaborations in Urban Spaces

Examines ways in which we can make art in the context of our physical environments, audiences, and communities, specifically through the processes of site-specific work and community collaborations. The practice of improvisation as a process and product for making dance and performance are deeply investigated. Drawing on the history and methodologies of improvisation, site-specific, and community-centered artists, students build a foundation for and develop their creative skill sets as they improvise, make, and perform dances outside the traditional theatre space.
