THEA 2440 - Modern IV
This second year, second semester course focuses on expanding the dancers understanding and knowledge of the technique, vocabulary, and principles of modern dance as introduced in 2430. Mastering basic vocabulary and principles will be augmented with a deeper understanding of historical techniques and their application to contemporary modern dance. A greater focus on modern dance partnering and improvisation will play a larger role in class structure. An introduction of Laban Movement Analysis will be present throughout the semester as we study movement from a kinesthetic approach. Previously acquired skills are broadened and refined and more advanced conditioning exercises are introduced.
