This studio course explores movement through both highly structured and improvisational exercises. The emphasis is on developing an expressive and malleable physicality in the service of theatrical performance in theatre, art (installations), music and dance. Physical awareness, presence, alignment and strength will be addressed through the consistent practice of movement drawn from Bartenieff Fundamentals, Laban Effort/Shape work, and contemporary techniques in modern dance. Group improvisations, ensemble work and compositional strategies will be drawn from Anne Bogart’s Viewpoints. Assignments include readings, written responses, and creating studies in physical performance. Enrollment Limit: 14.
