For choreographers and choreography students. Approaching choreography by the creation of frame and composition, rather than creation of movements. By analyzing and recreating the scores of the significant choreographers in the history of the contemporary dance and creating one’s own choreographic scores.
Workshop Content:
By the study and recreation of the past choreographic scores (and its different approaches to choreography), we hope to discuss and deepen the understanding of certain important artistic and political issues in the history of contemporary dance, as well as broadening the approaches and methods of choreographic creation.
# Scores are instructions, (play) rules, or methods of the choreographic elements that take the process of interpretation and recreation through the medium of recorded language, instead of (more common) creation of movements with the medium of direct and visual communication or demonstration. Score can be one sentence instruction or a book length; it can be with pictures, diagrams, musical notes etc. Score is not only a tool for the creation of art, but an artistic product itself.
