Performance Project: Cross Reference, The Body and Gesture
Spring
In this course, students will explore reorientation of the body map through techniques of improvisation. We will develop idiosyncratic qualities to create a collective and formalized movement experience. We will ask: What is a gesture? What is the role of meaning in movement? And what is collaboration? The course will meet twice weekly with the possibility of a final performance.
