Ndaga - a way of making dance
DAN4486.01
Course Description
Summary
We can define Ndaga as the awareness of legacy and debt, border crossing, re/invention, re/creation, and the desire to create new space for time travel. This is a self-journey. This course is for students who wish to find their artistic voices by exploring an interdisciplinary approach to making work. Using poetry, visual art, improvisation and various movement practices, we will make a series of projects as individuals, as partners in duets, and as members of ensembles. This course will support students in choreographic/artistic risk-taking and the development of new performative directions and perspectives. Students will investigate and explore ways of creating dance suitable for a variety of occasions and a broad range of physical and conceptual abilities.Prerequisites
