Introduction to Dance Practices

Zouk, Sigal

Comments

The course will provide an understanding of the connections between movement impulses, movement generation and processing. In this context the modes of listening as well as of kinesthetic awareness become key competences. The attention is drawn to the complex relationships between different techniques and asks which concepts of the body they are based on. How are they mediated by respective imaginations and understandings of choreography? And to what extent does dancing and improvising together goes far beyond specific techniques? These insights into the basic prerequisites of dance practices opens up a more precise understanding of inclusive approaches to movement analysis. The movement experiences of the individual students are included, but no prior dance knowledge is required for this participatory research approach; nevertheless, active participation in the exercise, attendance at the movement classes and independent research are required. close
