DANC 132 - Contact Improvisation

Semester Offered: First Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 credits
Attribute: 4HU

The many points of contact between people – visual, physical, rhythmic, emotional – set up the meeting ground for dancing in Contact Improvisation. In this class we will acquire the physical skills (such as rolling, learning when to give weight, and how to fall safely) and improvisational mindset (how to focus on sensation and give up expectations) needed to facilitate a conscious, engaged dancing with one another. Over the course of the semester, we will cultivate a responsive body, one that is capable both of resistance and resilience as we learn to touch one another with intention and thoughtfulness.
