This module begins with the exploration of movement and enables students to experience improvisation, shared and individual workshop tasks and movement problem solving. Students investigate a variety of situations in order to start thinking about their unique movement identity and to begin developing a broader dance vocabulary through their practice. The concepts of movement initiation and movement development are explored using imagery and kinaesthetic feedback and the key foundations of body-form, dynamics, space and time are addressed. Crafting skills are introduced to structure short spontaneous movement studies to create a platform for longer choreographic works in the spring and summer terms.
