Have you ever wanted to learn to communicate an idea without words? To make a piece of art using just your body moving through space? If yes, this choreography class is for you! We will explore a variety of choreographic tools for generating movement material, and then expand to looking at different ways to structure the material into meaningful compositions. The first half of each class will be dedicated to improvised explorations of weight, space, texture, and dynamics, followed by presentations of students' work on take-home choreographic assignments. The class will provide each individual constructive feedback for the further development of their dance, which will be performed at the end of IAP in an informal showing designed by the class.
No experience required, and all forms of dance are welcome. Only requirement is a willingness to move and create!

Instructor is a professional modern dance choreographer and also a GRT in Simmons Hall. For more information about her work, please see: www.quicksilverdance.com.
