OBJECTIVES:

In Dance and Music 1, we will focus upon TIME and the ways in which you as dancers/choreographers are able to use time in all aspects of your creative/pedagogical work.

We will begin this course as ZOOM lectures/practices with you all working in the Jokisali. There will be a number of classes where you will be working on movement/rhythm assignments on your own.

GOALS:

1. To AWAKEN the kinetic sense of time, phrasing, and dynamics that you all possess as dancers.

2. To develop a functional sense and understanding of RHYTHM.

3. To develop functional and practical skills in READING RHYTHMIC NOTATION.

4. To develop basic skills in analyzing the time/phrasing (RHYTHM) of your own choreographic movement studies.

5. To develop basic voice skills in relationship to breath, the body, text, and theatrical applications of the authentic person in a performance space.

6. To develop basic skills in PERCUSSION / DRUMMING through mental/physical / musical exercises

7. Focus on overall strategies and possibilities regarding music for your solo choreography project that will be performed during spring 2020.

8. We will also explore ways to work with your mobile phone in location settings for choreo-musical video studies.

ASSIGNMENTS:

1. MOVEMENT STUDIES: In each class, we will explore different aspects of the topics mentioned above. MOVEMENT STUDIES MAY be assigned, and they will be presented in the following classes. You will have to dedicate outside (evenings/weekends) for these MOVEMENT STUDIES. You will always be given a short amount of class time to prepare the MOVEMENT STUDIES.

2. RHYTHMIC NOTATIONAL STUDIES: We will also spend time focused upon your rhythmic notational reading skills. These reading skills are an important FUNCTIONAL aspect of your overall development as a dancer. Your skills will be tested in group RHYTHMIC READING sessions (I will explain this in class), and will require possible outside time (evenings/weekends) in preparation for the RHYTHMIC READING sessions

3. LISTENING ASSIGNMENTS: You may be assigned tasks in which you will select musical compositions from online resources.

4. USING YOUR MOBILE DEVICES We will also explore some video possibilities “Physical Cinema” and ways for you to make simple edits using open-source digital video websites.

3. Class/group participation: Often the “time studies” will involve GROUP ENSEMBLE structures, and your integration and support of the GROUP ENSEMBLE are essential for the full realization of a specific study.
