Dance Composition

This course is designed to introduce the principles of structure and form that inform all artistic development. It will facilitate students obser- vation and comprehension of the progression that takes them from conceiving and refining an idea to improvising, shaping and ultimately performing. Students will participate in lectures and practical activities, observe and evaluate their work and that of their peers and view the works of other choreographers, in order to learn the art of critiquing and gain knowledge of and insights into the composition process.
