Course Description

Summary

BFA students only This course utilizes a seminar and workshop format focusing on conceptual, relational, and material frameworks of the choreographic. Through shaping a bibliographic course archive, we will source current developments within the field of contemporary art making. The class investigations, projects and discussion will yield imaginative and experimental directions for student’s development towards a senior thesis project. We will consider the varied approaches that artists utilize, acknowledging that experience and creative acts are appearing and getting made within the world around us all the time. This course will unfold through multiple-modes of learning and connection that include viewings, discussions, individual and group projects as well as written assignments. Students will be encouraged to locate and deepen a series of practices that yield generative modes of introspection and expression.  Required outside study hours will be completed through placement in open studio practice and/or process sessions that are not part of the student's registered course plan. Variable Lab to be arranged with instructor.
