This course will be an introduction to the dance technique and style broadly referred to as Modern Dance. This class will expose students to Cunningham, Graham and Limon techniques-three of the major tehcniques of Modern Dance-as a way to experience contrasting movement concepts and styles, aesthetics and creative processes. Dance vocabulary will be taught with an understanding of the physical mechanics and sources for this dance language. Emphasis will be on individual exploration of movement as a way to understand one's physical, social, intellectual, emotional, and human dimensions. No previous dance training is necessary.
