PMA 2221
Contemporary Movement Practices

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025. Courses of Study 2024-2025 is scheduled to publish mid-June.

Contemporary Movement Practices is an intermediate-level studio immersion in contemporary concert dance genres and methodologies germane to the 21st-century field. In-depth modules will extract and explore most notably from Bartenieff Fundamentals℠ and Countertechnique®, as well as ripen the sensibility and capacity for current trends and approaches to dynamic floorwork, such as Flying-Low®. The objective is to cultivate and champion a dynamic anatomy and body consciousness built on learned perception, sensation, and organization. This is achieved through the experiential research and framing of Total Body Connectivity, which is based on the perennial work of Irmgard Bartenieff: Breath, Head/Tail, Core/Distal, Upper/Lower Body, Body Halves, and Diagonal.

When Offered Fall, Spring.
