KDB210 Dance Composition

This unit introduces the fundamentals of dance composition through exploring a range of choreographic practices. It focuses on understanding the tools available for composing dance and using these to develop successful choreographic outcomes. Through studio-based shared practice sessions, online activities, reflecting on readings and performance documentation you will begin to develop an aesthetic understanding applicable across your artistic practice. The unit examines movement ideas, shifting from simple to complex group configurations, and understanding how to develop a compositional methodology for a particular context. It offers the opportunity to develop your choreographic skills and understanding by working in collaboration with a choreographer.
