This is academia that moves. A studio based unit, DANC320 continues and confirms the skills taught in Contemporary Dance1. A variety of dance styles will be used to develop students’ understanding of the principles of movement. These principles allow each student to approach any dance style with a degree of confidence, understanding and focus. Dance artistry is deepened and broadened and students have further opportunities to develop their creative powers and physical discipline. Embodied performance skills are honed though individual dance projects and a sustained and customised personal practice. This unit is invaluable for students wishing to develop physical virtuosity.
Students will also be required to describe, analyse and articulate dance practice and principle in written assessments.
