Focused on contemporary dance, this unit provides an industry relevant experience of working through a rehearsal process with a professional choreographer. The unit develops skills in creative contribution, collaboration, team- work, dance technique, rehearsal etiquette, choreographic process and performance.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Clearly interpret the intention of the choreographer and achieve the technical, artistic and stylistic dance requirements as specified.
  2. Make thoughtful contributions to the creative process and show confidence in the performance of the final dance work.
  3. Apply the appropriate interpersonal and collaboration skills required of a dancer in both rehearsal and public performance.
  4. Take responsibility for maintaining the accuracy of given solo and/or ensemble choreography, through the development of personal reflective practice.

Unit Content

  1. The works and choreographers selected for production will represent a diversity and range of style.

Normally students will perform in 3 public sessions per year. Each season is a simulated professional experience involving a team of people from production and design.
