Dance is an art form that frees people to communicate and express abstract and literal ideas, or emotions, in embodied form through movement. In this course, students will learn to move freely, to explore ideas through group improvisation, and to communicate through movement metaphor by creating short, project-based studies and solo dances. Topics include space, time, energy, creating music for dance, music copyright, dancing with the Sweet Briar landscape and other environmentally-based projects, and theories of stagecraft for dance.
