Course contents:

This semester continues the presentation in mapping the forms of choreographic works in experimental works. Individual representatives are selected considering the particulars of the choreographic approach used. This is, for example, the so called American post-modern dance and the influence of minimalism in dance (Judson Church, Twyla Tharp, Trisha Brown, Steve Paxton, and others). As well, dance influenced by the visual conception of the abstract, op-art, and happening (Oskar Schlemmer and Bauhaus, Alwin Nikolais), reflected in videodance and its development (Mats Ek, Theresa de Keeresmaaker and others). Buto and other forms influenced by Eastern theatre culture, Tanztheater, particularly the activities of Pina Bausch and her companions, intertwinings of dance and physical (movement) theatre (DV8). Instruction, again, combines a theory presentation with an analysis of dance material and a review of one's viewing experience.
