DRAMA 112 — Partnering I

1 credit
Fall
Orlando Reyes, Valeria Solomonoff

Drawing strategies from Argentine tango (lead and follow dynamics), contact improvisation (weight sharing while attending to ease and flow), and Laban movement analysis (relating through space with different degrees of proximity while making aesthetic choices related to formal design and movement quality), this class cultivates connection through the actor’s physicality. Partnering engages the actor’s trust, care, responsibility, attentiveness, initiative, patience, sensitivity, responsiveness, curiosity, and readiness.
