Choreography & Performance This course involves concentrated intermediate-advanced level work in contemporary dance technique and choreography culminating in production. Theoretical issues of importance to the dancer/choreographer are addressed through readings, writings and practice.

Technique Workshop This advanced physical and theoretical study of a variety of movement techniques will further prepare dance majors and minors for the rigors of performance, technical craft, and physical research.  Exercises and discussions will revolve around increased subtlety, strength, flexibility, musicality, and dynamics with the goal of heightening the communicative range of the moving body.  Rotating movement aesthetics taught by dance faculty. (Major/Minor Only)

Performance & Production In this course we will investigate three aspects of place in relation to dance: where we source movement, the relevance of dance in culture, and the effects of place on the moving dancing body. Material covered will include body systems dance technique at the intermediate/advanced level, improvisation and composition toward choreography and site specific work, readings and reflective writing, and performance viewing.  The course culminates in formal and informal showings of performance work. The emergence of a personal philosophy and dance aesthetic will be engaged and formally articulated in writing.

460 is a hard but fulfilling class. It does require a lot of work outside of class, but it depends on how many hours you want to put into it. You need to choreograph and teach outside of class, class time is normally technique and brainstorming. I really enjoyed this class, it is one of the best classes I've taken at Middlebury. I wished there was more time during class to work on the final project, but it is doable. Daniel is an incredible professor and someone you can count on. The college is lucky to have him. Take a class with him!
