Students will also learn to execute the fundamentals of choreography through improvisations and assignments that explore space, time and force. They will evaluate movement studies while observing choreography and learn how to articulate responses through class discussions and journal writing. Student choreographic works will be presented in a formal Student Choreography Showcase setting.
