Catalog Description : Physical Practice introduces students to dance as an embodied practice, academic study and a process of investigating and making. This class section explores the basic elements of contemporary modern dance: coordination, alignment, time, space, speed, rhythm, weight, and solo/ensemble practice. Emphasis is placed on moving and dancing a lot, getting sweaty in order to build strength and stamina in the body and mind. The course will have viewing, discussion, written and verbal critique, composition, and experiential components. Recommended for students who wish to participate in theatre, opera, musical and collaborative productions. This course can be repeated (and can be taken by students who previously took THAR 147 under the old title.) Only 6 units of Physical Practice (any type) can count toward the theatre arts major.
