Description | In this course, students engage in an in-depth rehearsal process
toward a final performance that will be performed in the FCD
Faculty Concert at Hampshire in November. The proposed
investigation centers dance as a practice of listening. We will
explore our ears for their anatomical wonder and metaphorical
power. We will also inquire beyond auditory perception. Dance is
a vehicle for listening-to music, the environment, each other,
the body's impulses, and more! Rehearsals involve collaboration,
movement creation, improvisation, writing, and dialogue.
Occasional readings and viewings will accompany our
investigations. Vocalization, contact improvisation, and
partnering principles may be engaged in addition to solo and
ensemble dancing. Prior study of dance at the intermediate or
advanced levels is suggested. Students must be invested in
creating live performance and able to commit to the entire
semester including tech and performance. To enroll, please sign
up for the workshop/information session on May 6. Students can
also enter through the FCD audition held on September 7. For more
