WS10 Composition: choreographing with four essentials
This resource lab will explore essential elements of choreography (space, shape/design, time & energy); useful fundamentals involved in creating and transforming movement content and choreographic structures.
Skills will be developed through practical usage of each element applying manipulation and improvisation. When combined, there should be a complete understanding of each element, what each entails and how each can be used to its fullest potential.
In diesem Resource Lab werden wesentliche Elemente der Choreographie erkundet — Raum, Form / Design, Zeit und Energie; dabei erarbeiten wir uns nützliche Grundlagen für die Erstellung und Transformation von Bewegungsinhalten und choreographischen Strukturen.
Wir entwickeln unsere Fertigkeiten in praktischer Anwendung, Manipulation und Improvisation mit jedem dieser Elemente. Angestrebt wird ein umfassendes Verständnis jedes einzelnen Elements in Verbindung mit den anderen, dies auch im Hinblick darauf, was es beinhaltet und wie sich sein volles Potenzial entfalten lässt.
