Students may suggest questions and pieces of music/dance for us to study together. We’ll explore how composers write dance for specific choreography/choreographers, as well as the reverse: how choreographers make choices that emphasize a particular interpretation of the music. Through intensive listening, watching, and dancing ourselves, we’ll investigate questions about what music affords to dance(rs) and vice versa, and the semester will culminate with projects/presentations focused on a topic of the student’s choice.",
