Group Improvisation: Introduction to Creative Dance

Group Improvisation: Introduction to Creative Dance is a Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies class taught by Christine Goehring.

Course Description
Dance Pioneer Barbara Mettler said, "To create means to make up something new." In this course students explore the elements of dance through a series of creative problems solved through improvisations by individuals and groups. Directed exercises are used to heighten awareness of the body and its movement potential. Studies using the sounds of voice, hands and feet develop skills in accompaniment. Based on the principle that dance is a human need this work invites people of all ages and abilities to come together in movement and to make dance an element of their lives.
