Dance Creation to Performance (NEW)

This course will introduce students to the fundamentals of dance creativity and choreography, in order to curate a full dance performance. Students will study selected styles in the dance, both in its local and international aspects. We will explore the theoretical concepts of movement and apply them through practice to build students foundations in movement. Students will learn how to develop a sense of creativity through movement, rhythm, musicality, expression, and lyrics as key elements in the process of choreography. This course will also offer an opportunity to explore the intricate process and progress of performance routine. Students will be orientated to the fundamentals of staging in order to execute their choreography performance. These elements include stage awareness and orientation, staging, formations, transitions and performance presentation. Throughout the course, students will work on incremental activities in preparation for a final production and execution of a full performance.
