DA 327 - Dance Literacy

(2)

This course will give students numerous ways to decode movement and to determine context and meaning in dance, as well as the opportunity to develop more clear movement patterns/intention within their own body. The tools for movement examination are within the framework of Laban Movement Analysis (LMA), a system created by choreographer/theorist Rudolf Von Laban. LMA is a comprehensive means of objectively describing all kinds of movement, quantitatively and qualitatively and is useful in diverse fields.
