Choreography Modules
Choreography Lab 1
The module builds on the students’ prior experience and understanding of dance developed in their professional practice / prior study and asks them to explore their own methodology and practice as dance creators.
The syllabus will support the student in their development by exposing them to a range of methodologies and creative practices some of which will be introduced by visiting practitioners.
Bodywork classes will be delivered within the module to support the students in maintaining their individual levels of technique and to expand their range of physical and creative practice. The content of the classes will vary from year to year to best suit the experience and needs of the current cohort, and will draw from classical techniques, such as ballet tailored for the contemporary dancer, and contemporary techniques, such as Release based training, Gaga, Flying Low technique, or Urban Dance influences. Improvisation and movement research will also play a vital role. This element is not assessed.
The focus of the module is on helping the student to question their own assumptions and practices as artists; and to enhance their understanding of choreography as being a continuous process of creation which brings together in practice ideas, intentions, movement, and production values. Working as a group the students will be encouraged to have open dialogue and exchange ideas, experiences, and aspirations.
