Course Description

Summary

During this course, students will begin to reflect, gather, articulate, and compose their extensive body of professional work in the field of dance by organizing this work into a text which will be bound. The portfolio is developed to include a thoughtful and critically developed artist statement, current CV, written narratives of their work, press & public reviews, and a list of any grants, honorariums and/or fellowships along with the encouragement of a creative approach to sharing the emergence of themselves as dance artists. In this way, students will be encouraged to find innovative ways to share their work both online and on paper.

Learning Outcomes

  • Students will have a deepened awareness of the role of dance in society within both local and global contexts.
  • Students will archive, document, collect and share their research, practice, and creative projects in a multitude of ways.
  • Students will develop innovative and experimental ways to language dance both verbally and in writing.
