PERFA 090 - Choreography I (.5) and Choreography I Lab (.5)

Lower Division

Concurrently
Students must enroll in both sections of PERFA 090 (Choreography I and Choreography I Lab).

This course begins the study of making dances while focusing on the solo and duet form. Students will learn the basic tools of choreography including: symmetry and asymmetry, phrasing, dynamics, rhythm, motivation, and music. Through intense use of structured improvisation, and movement assignments, students will discover further ways to generate movement and expand their own movement vocabulary. Students will learn to take risks and create challenges to enable experimentation and innovation.
