The Department of Contemporary Dance Presents: Improvisation as Choreography - Fall Term Outcome

Led by Alanna Kraaijeveld

A choreographic score has several iterations; a first sketch, an edit, a redraw or rewrite... What we commit to paper in a score is in dialogue with what we practice in the studio, and then what emerges in performance. And this is where we find ourselves! Artists in process meet audience, exploring the emergent possibilities of liveness and performance, everyone learning more than what a score imagined for us. Improvisation is the great collision of what one thought was going to happen with what is happening. We are not here to be dazzled by the steady and predictable. Expect surprises of both the ‘whoops’ and ‘aha!’ variety. These are the best. We look forward to meeting you here!
