講義概要

This course is designed to give students insight into both the theory and practice of modern dance. Works from the repertory of Pina Bausch and other important creators of modern dance will be analyzed and discussed in detail, to determine the elements that go into them. We must develop the qualities which make us the humans we are, which make us so different and so much more than the machines that we build. Individual expression is at the heart of performance.

講義の目的

The workshopping and the lectures will be integrated so that students can further understand the spirit and performance of dance. Students will be expected to create short sequences of dance theatre choreography based on what they have heard and seen.
