CLOSED: Dancers Talking Dance (Jenny Davies)

Remote: this project is scheduled to begin on 6/22/2026 and run for 6 weeks, finishing on 7/31/2026.

Project Description

Students will learn the primary ways of conveying technical feedback for dance including verbal, visual, and kinesthetic processes and gain insight into understanding individual artistic vision, perspective and approach to making choreography. A specific critical feedback method will be taught and employed to create a common language when speaking about dance. Using these tools, students will review submissions for dance guest artists for 2026-27 and respond verbally and in writing to each. Reflection sessions will be conducted with each student after all dances have received feedback. Students will speak about how they ranked specific proposals, why they chose particular dances, and provide responses to the works reviewed.
