Thoughts and Ideas

Musing

Dance as exploration and processing of information. Do we need to perform every serious choreography we develop? Are there topics you want to explore through group movement but have reservations about performing? Discuss the value of process and exploration and the multitude of reasons we perform.

Creative Experiment

Design a few class exercises using improvisation or choreographic explorations that traverse something bothering you. Find the universal concepts in your subject of exploration.
