DANCE 1: Contemporary Modern I: Liquid Flow

Students in Liquid Flow will participate in a dance and movement class that teaches the fundamentals of dance technique and addresses the way we already dance through the world. By discovering our own movement signatures, and becoming aware of other people's dance, motion, and energy in space, we will transform the way we inhabit flow states, from the dance studio, into everyday life, and ultimately onto the stage. Accompanied by a live DJ, students will develop technique, articulation, flexibility, and grace, to gain freedom while dancing, and mine dance's potential for social transformation and connection. We will draw from various movement traditions and practices, including contemporary modern, ballet, lyrical, Tai chi and yoga, with opportunities to remix other styles. Designed for all levels, we welcome beginners, student movers from diverse dance traditions, athletes, and advanced dancers, who desire more fluidity in their lives.

DANCE 30S: Interdisciplinary Movement Lab: For Choreographers and Performance Makers

TAPS/Dance Lecturer and artistic director of the Chocolate Heads Movement Band, Aleta Hayes, and visiting guest artist from NYC, JoAnna Mendl Shaw, who will offer workshops throughout the quarter. Each student will explore choreographic strategies to create an original work by the end of the quarter. The choreographic perspectives offered will include: Hayes' collaborative making process, developed through The Chocolate Heads Movement Band, which draws upon a wide array of academic and physical disciplines to produce contemporary dance; and Mendl Shaw's interspecies lens, developed through The Equus Projects, which uses choreographic scoring to generate performance with dancers and horses. Mendl Shaw's Physical Listening honors our "embodied, physical intelligence" and seeks to enhance "our human capacity for multi-sensory awareness." At the end of the quarter, students will have the opportunity to audition to debut new works for the inaugural Young Choreographers Festival. We invite emerging creators and movement-makers from any and all performance backgrounds to take the course and bring their diverse styles into the choreographic space. All levels of experience are welcome. Contact Aleta Hayes (ahayes1@stanford.edu) for questions.

DANCE 124: Danceacution: Performance Practice, Death Row, and the Evolution of Cultural Reform

Danceacution is a unique course in performance practice taught by nationally recognized choreographer Alex Ketley. Creative expression does not exist in a vacuum but is deeply influenced by the societal contexts surrounding it. The class will use the vast breadth of Bill Clark's life experience as the platform to develop their own artwork. Bill Clark is an artist and writer incarcerated on Death Row. This can take the form of writing, film making, dance, music, or theater. Bill is offering some of his most inspiring writing to the class as a foundation for research and will call into the class each week from the prison phone so the students can interact with him directly. Alex Ketley has built theater pieces from numerous creative vantage points and will guide the students in the development of their work. At the end of the quarter there will be a performance that Bill will attend via San Quentin's video conference system where he and Alex will offer feedback to each student. Danceacution is an opportunity for students to engage their creative impulses through the lens of two artists deeply committed to the idea that art has the ability to affect meaningful change in our society. Enrollment is by permission only. Please email the instructor at aketley@stanford.edu to inquire.

The class focuses on technique, musicality, vocabulary, coordination and artistic choice.
