Contemporary Dance Technique Modern 3: Partner Dancing

Listed in: Theater and Dance, as THDA-117H

Faculty

Paul D. Matteson (Section 01)

Description

Technical investigations of weight sharing, body-part manipulations, off-balance support, lifting and being lifted, negative space, resistance, and various ways of harnessing forces of momentum. How can we move with confidence, spatial awareness, and fearless agency when in close proximity and in contact with other bodies?  Duets, trios, and groups will be challenged to kinetically build set partner dances with repeated opportunities in the last part of class to perform, often with the added challenge of speeding up.
