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 11: Introduction to Dance Studies (CSRE 11, FEMGEN 11, TAPS 11)

This class is an introduction to dance studies and the complex meanings bodily performances carry both onstage and off. Using critical frames drawn from dance criticism, history and ethnography and performance studies, and readings from cultural studies, dance, theater and critical theory, the class explores how performing bodies make meanings. We will read theoretical and historical texts and recorded dance as a means of developing tools for viewing and analyzing dance and understanding its place in larger social, cultural, and political structures. Special attention will be given to new turns in queer and feminist dance studies. This course blends theory and embodied practice. This means as we read, research, and analyze, we will also dance. Students enrolled should expect to move throughout the quarter and complete a two-part choreographic research project. TAPS 11 has been certified to fulfill the Writing in the Major (WIM) requirement.

DANCE 30: Contemporary Choreography: Chocolate Heads 'Garden After Dark' Performance Project (AFRICAAM 37)

The Chocolate Heads Movement Band will engage in an interdisciplinary project-based course to develop collaborative choreography and installation art with visual and musical components. How can we attune our senses to perceive the subtleties of our surroundings? How can we learn to perceive the magic hiding in plain sight? The Autumn '23-'24 project will make use of remixing strategies, deep listening practices, and outdoor exploration to animate these questions in a multisensorial performance piece. We will cultivate an imaginary garden full of wild, surprising, and mysterious entities. Taking inspiration from landscape architecture, textiles, lighting, and projection design, we will bring the outside world in to create a dance and performance ecology. The course will feature collaborations with guest scientists, artists, and somatic practitioners. Our garden is open to all forms of creative expression and all levels of experience; we invite dancers, movers, and emerging creators of all styles and backgrounds. WEEK 1: TU 9/26--Introduction to the Project & CHs Band; THU 9/28--1st Audition Workshop. Contact Aleta Hayes (ahayes1@stanford.edu) for more information.

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 50: Contemporary Choreography

Each day Ketley will develop a new phrase of choreography with the students and use this as the platform for investigation. Consistent lines of inquiry include; sculpting with the body as an emotional, instinctual, and graphic landscape, how the fracturing and the complication of strands of information can feel generative of new ways of moving, discussions around how our use of time is directly correlated to our sense of presence, and the multitude of physical colors available to each of us as artists as we expand our curiosity about movement. Classes will be very physical, trusting that much of our knowledge is contained in the body. For questions please e-mail aketley@stanford.edu.
