20702657 - DANCE THEORIES AND PRACTICES FROM THE 18TH THROUGH THE 21ST CENTURIES

The course is designed: a) to deepen understanding of theories (i.e. Delsarte, Jaques-Dalcroze and Laban); b) to increase ability to observe dance - its movement, its compositional components - as well as stylistic codes and modes of expression.

Curriculum

teacher profile | teaching materials

Programme

The course intends to investigate some experiences of dance in the second half of the 20th century that have proposed an unprecedented conception of the body and movement and that propose a renewal of choreographic languages on the contemporary scene. One part of the course will be devoted to the experience of second-generation Butō dancers who have personalised the lesson of the founders and formed performers straddling East and West. The second part, which will take place in conjunction with the Teatri di vetro festival, will be devoted to the contemporary scene and to direct observation through guided viewing of performances and meetings with performers and cultural operators.
