Love Dance?
February 1, 2012
Then this might be for you! It’s free, it’s Friday and it’s fun.
Guest Artist Tiffany Mills is going to teach an open master improv/movement class open to all levels of experience this Friday from 1 – 2:15 in Miller 300. She will be warming everyone up, then using words or city names to begin a composition exploration that will involve improvisation. This isn’t just a straight up dance class, so no need to have any experience. It will be fun and will draw on your creativity whether you are comfortable or not with Dance.

This from Prof. Vadja!
January 14, 2012Group A:
Students should fill at a minimum, a one cubic foot box with objects from home. I use the word “home” in the most general sense. A place or an area that you associate with as being where you and your family are from. Objects from your house and the surrounding area. Half the objects can be things you care about and the other half you need to be willing to permanently alter or destroy. MAKE GOOD DECISIONS!
Please consider the following:
Appearance: Color, texture, shape, scale, form
Man made (symmetrical) or from nature (organic)
Seed pods, plants, fungi
Photos or printed material
Soft objects and hard objects
Make sure you have an extensive variety objects!
Artist Materials: charcoal, charcoal pencils, erasers, masking tape, drawing boards
