ADA 490 - Dance Project 1

Course Units: 1

As an Independent Study, students can elect to pursue a specific area of interest. Subjects might include dance styles, a choreographer or dancer’s life and achievements, a dance craze as well as a specific dance technique. Students can also research the creation of workshops, dance classes or new dance techniques for engagement on campus or for outside venues. Students will present their research through a public lecture/demonstration. Other Dance Projects will allow students to develop their own dance style, create a dance piece or restage the work of a famous choreographer. The student will act as Artistic Director, overseeing the creation and being responsible for collaborators such as musicians, actors, dancers, sculptors or any other inter-disciplinary artists.
