Duets Project

Deepen partnering & rehearsal skills by learning contemporary duets from the repertory of acclaimed choreographers, some set by the choreographers themselves. Rehearsals culminate in an informal open performance. Expect different partners throughout the quarter; roles not gender-specific. Dances will vary highly in movement content, tone, form, ranging from uninflected to dramatic to humorous; from sparse to dense; from relatively simple to technically difficult. Each work requires a different approach and skill set. Exploring and cultivating these skills - i.e., physical intention and agreement, weight-sharing and - bearing, breath phrasing, spatial awareness, kinetic problem-solving -- will help you dance eloquently and make you into a strong and versatile performer.
