Course System Home Terms Fall 2021 Movement Practice: Ballet Anarchy

Course Description

Summary

This course is designed for students who have some ballet experience and are familiar with basic ballet terms and movement vocabulary. While following a basic structure and flow of a traditional ballet class, this course, accompanied by non-traditional music scores such as pop music, offers an opportunity to recalibrate, reactivate, improve, deepen, expand, develop or break existing relationships with and approaches to ballet practice. To relax and liberate our minds and bodies from the mentality often attached to perfecting a form and following a certain manner, some improvisational and experimental exercise and movements will interrupt and redirect the traditional flow.

Corequisites

Dance or Drama lab assignment if students sign up for 4 or more credits in dance.
