CIC: Compostion Dance Theater with Alexandra Beller

Week Three: Using Objects in Dance Theater
How do objects function in Dance Theater? In this class we will create dynamic, poignant and evocative relationships with objects and learn how the use of an object can create a scene, a world, and a metaphor for relationships outside the theatrical space. Developing charismatic, charged relationships with objects as stand-ins for people, places, events, we will begin to reveal the possibilities for broad, visual narratives.

Class Description:
This class explores the qualities of released and off-balance dancing while daring students to find disparate qualities of stillness and explosion. Students are encouraged to develop an individual style driven by their internal life and the specificity of their bodies. By researching movement tasks as opposed to recreating shapes, students will begin to solve kinesthetic problems in a profound and personal way. We will focus on becoming compelling and magnetic performers, and working within a broad range of movements: vigorous, athletic, gestural and theatrical.
