KDB211 Dance Performance 3: Current Trends

To better understand the creative practice, this unit provides the tools to situate and expand your performance experiences. It builds upon KDB102 to further develop you as a professional performing artist. You will work with a choreographer and/or replication from video and/or other processes, with guidance from a rehearsal director. The unit examines current cultural, social and political trends and issues, both local and global, and their impact on dance-making, technology, science, and interdisciplinary practice. The performer uses an understanding of contemporary trends and issues to situate the choreographic experience and expand their ability to engage with and contribute to the choreographic process. In this unit you will investigate how the choreographer for this unit, and consequently their artistic practice and sensibility, are informed through these perspectives and relate to emergent practices that are shaping the future of dance.
