The Department of Contemporary Dance Presents: Improvisation I

This course outcome brings together students from different movement and artistic backgrounds to explore ways that improvisation can connect performers and art forms across – and beyond – traditional disciplines. The course offers opportunities for students to lean into their areas of technical expertise, practice different improvisation approaches, share methodologies, and to experiment with performance forms less familiar to them. Above all, the course provides a space to explore how performers of different backgrounds can be in community together and can follow impulses to create meaningful shared experiences for themselves, each other, and audiences.
