Contemporary Dance Class January 1, 2009

Students are introduced to the basic elements of modern dance
techniques, combining exercises to relax, lengthen, align and
strengthen the body to prepare for movement combinations through
space. The curriculum is designed to build skills and understanding
through the full range of technical elements while nurturing a
vigorous, joyful and expressive approach to dancing. Students will
also explore different choreographic principles fed by structured
improvisations and creative projects

Contemporary Dance can be conceived as a new way of thinking about
dance today, a form of expression through movement that processes
memory, experience and imagination. The emphasis of contemporary dance
is on:

+ Originality + Innovation + Creativity + Interdisciplinarity +
Exciting

Contemporary dance engages with daily concerns, issues and experiences
and offers immense possibilities of integrating technology in dance.
Many of the best contemporary dance performances are a spectacle of
light, sound, digital arts and movement, unleashing creativity to its
zenith. It goes beyond the narrative form of expression and becomes a
total sensorial experience for the audience, a visual poetry of sorts.

Contemporary dance truly represents the globalised ethos of today,
thriving on cultural exchange, breaking barriers of language, and yet
projecting a sense of the unique culture of a region on to a world
arena. Contemporary forms of expression grew in strength since the
early part of the 20 Th century in Europe and the US and later spread
to all parts of the world.

Internationally, contemporary dance is the fastest growing art form in
countries like the UK. In India too, it is a niche form of expression
that is finding an increasing number of patrons and audiences.
