DANC V50D — Composition IV
This course builds on skills learned in Composition III. It will focus on creating hybrid choreographic processes. Students will create three short studies and one fully realized ten minute work that will be performed in the dance performance concert. Class time will be spent working on choreography, viewing and examining how identity, multiple dance genres, space, music, technology, theatricality, narrative, and text are combined in contemporary performances. Topics will include improvisation as a source for movement invention, mixing of multiple dance styles, text, music/sound design, props, and theatrical conventions. Ventura College faculty have designated this course as part of a course family titled Composition.
