DAN304: Special Topics in Contemporary Practice: Creating Collaboratively, Collaborating Creatively (Spring 2017)

Choreographer/director Pavel Zustiak, composer/musician Shawn Jaeger, and visiting guest scenographers lead this workshop on the interdisciplinary creative process, with the aim to collaboratively research, create, and perform. How do moving bodies, sound/music, and scenography interact to carry the narrative of contemporary performance toward a unified, singular vision? Through playful experimentation, loosening of control by means of interdependent creative decision-making, we will create, critique, and present in-progress showings and tap into new personal artistic territory.
