DescriptionThis course is for Div II students who are ready to design, develop, and present a creative project in dance or interdisciplinary performance. Students should enter with a specific project in mind or underway. We will meet weekly to discuss and share tools for multiple stages of the creative process: goal-setting, planning, research, development, revising, and production/presentation. Accompanying materials and discussions will emphasize praxis-how ideas, theories, and politics meet the world through artmaking. Students will voice emerging ideas and share elements of works-in-process at each session. We will activate co-working methods and explore structures for offering and receiving feedback. While some students in this course will be working toward a specific concert, enrollment in this course does not guarantee a slot in dance program productions. Self-producing and other opportunities will be discussed. Prerequisite: Students should have taken a dance, theatre, or visual arts course in which they created embodied performance-related projects
