Module Content
Outline Syllabus:The module is structured to provide opportunities for the student in conceiving, developing, and presenting a body of choreographic work. Students will be supported in exploring a range of contexts and stimuli from which to develop their work. As the module develops the students will be asked to reflect on their own creative vision and develop work which responds to specific and refined contexts, concepts, and techniques.
Bodywork classes will be delivered within the module to support the students in maintaining their individual levels of technique and to expand their range of physical and creative practice. The content of the classes will vary from year to year to best suit the experience and needs of the current cohort, and will draw from classical techniques, such as ballet tailored for the contemporary dancer, and contemporary techniques, such as Release based training, Gaga, Flying Low technique, or Urban Dance influences. Improvisation and movement research will also play a vital role. This element is not assessed.
Additional Information:The module enables the student to explore their own signature style and produce an advanced piece of choreographic work.
Assessment is via a bespoke choreographed performance.
