DANCE 121: Creative and Contemplative Movement: Intro to Qigong (LIFE 121)

In the class, students will be introduced to qigong as moving meditation. Qigong, loosely translated as energy cultivation, is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine based on the principles of Buddhism and Taoism. It can integrate the mind and body and cultivate awareness of the present moment. In this class, we will conceptualize qigong through the lenses of both creativity and contemplation and practice it as a slow dance-meditation. Students will learn exercises based on the Yoqi Six Phases of Qi Flow, developed by Marisa Cranfill, as well as engage in creative, improvisational movement. Readings to support the practice include writings by contemporary scholars and practitioners, and articles about the most recent evidence-based research. Assignments include short written reflections as well as solo and collaborative creative projects.

DANCE 123: Choreography: Hot Mess & Deliberate Failure as Practice

A dance class in how we become the worst dancer possible. The foundation of this class has many parts. One is that, in almost every respect the way we gain insight into anything is to understand more clearly its polarity. As a class we purposely explore chaos, failure, and "bad" dancing, with the hope that then we will have a greater chance to understand and refine our personal notions around beauty. The class also acknowledges that creativity is at times born from the loss of control. Instead of looking at this idea obliquely, Hot Mess looks at this directly by having dancers confront a number of movement and vocal prompts that are literally impossible to execute in any good way. This class embraces and celebrates destabilization, with all the exuberance, fear, and learning that can happen when we accept and practice being lost.

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.

DANCE 128: Roots Modern Experience - Mixed Level (AFRICAAM 128)

In this course students will be introduced to a series of Afro-contemporary dance warm ups and dance combinations that are drawn from a broad range of dance traditions of the African diaspora with a particular focus on Afro Brazilian, Afro Cuban and Haitian dance forms, modern dance techniques, and somatic movement practices. Our study of these dance disciplines will inform the movement vocabulary, technical training, class discussions, and choreography we experience in this course. Students will learn more about the dances and rhythms for the Orishas of Brazil and Cuba, and the Loa of Haiti. Dance combinations will consist of dynamic movement patterns that condition the body for strength, flexibility, endurance, musicality and coordination. Through this approach to our warm ups and class choreography, we will deepen our analysis and understanding of how African diaspora movement traditions are inherently embedded in many expressions of the broadly termed form known as contemporary modern dance.
