Free-Writing Assignment

due Tuesday, February 13, 2007


Go to room 14E-304 and examine carefully the exquisite Barbara Morgan photographs on display. 

Choose one photograph. Imagine the dance that this photograph represents. 

Write a one-page text in which you describe the imaginary dance that surrounds this single moment. 

Be sure to describe the setting, the lighting, the nuber of dancers involved in the performance, 
the story or narrative of the dance (if it has one), and the overall feeling of the work. 
Be prepared to read your paper and illustrate how the moment of the photograph is reached in class on February 13. The room is open 9-5, Monday through Friday. You can go into it anytime there is no meeting in progress.
