This course explores the creative process, particularly as it applies to dance making. The course will focus on the development of skills that facilitate creative processes in art. We will look at our own ways of working as well as those of other artists. One objective of the course is for each student to further define his/her personal tastes, commitments, and passions within the field of dance, while also expanding current preferences and practices. NOTE: This course is for junior dance majors.
