Princeton dance certificate program

Many LCA courses are offered by distinguished artists and scholars who are in residence at Princeton for a comparatively short time.

Some are new courses developed in direct response to student interest. Still other courses are one-time opportunities that will never be offered again. I want to take a class that meets at two different times on the same day. I have a conflict in the afternoon, but not in the evening. How do I sign up for the evening section of this class? It is not uncommon for a single VIS course to have two multi-hour class meetings on the same day, or for a single THR course to meet at two totally different times on two totally different days.

If the section listing is the same for both meeting times, you will be expected to be present at both listed times in order to enroll in the course. What should I do in my first four semesters? The certificate requires 4 courses, plus substantial independent work during senior year. Acceptance to the CWR certificate program is selective and by application only the during Junior Spring.

When applying for Creative Writing courses, will seats be filled on a first-come, first-served basis? Are students assigned to seats in certain sections of a course, or can they choose their preference? Once your CWR course application has been reviewed, you will be given permission to enroll in any section of the course for which you applied.

You can then select a spot in any open section that works for your schedule; however after classes fill and there are limited seats left, the CWR administrative team will give you permission to enroll only a specific section.

Past independent choreographic projects have included performances in the Hearst Theatre, site-specific productions, and video installations. Performance theses are often commissions from emerging choreographers or staging of repertory. Often, senior certificate students choose dance to be the topic of their departmental theses.

For example, an anthropology concentrator chose as her thesis subject Sri Lankan dance; a comparative literature thesis explored links between poetry and dance theories; and other certificate students have looked at dance from the viewpoints of computer science, activism, mathematics, neuroscience, and music.

Instructed by: Staff. DAN Introduction to Choreography Spring LA This studio course will introduce students to choreographic processes and questions of movement vocabulary, structure, pacing, orchestration and meaning. Through completing a number of short dances and a substantial final project, the class will explore choreographic forms and innovations found in contemporary dance.

Readings and viewings work in tandem with students' dance-making to fuel debate and analysis of today's choreographic work and the power of movement to engage in current artistic and political issues such as, identity, gender, race, power and control. THR No prior dance experience necessary and beginners are welcome. In this studio course students will learn the fundamentals of ballet, gaining an understanding of its physicality, artistry, and principles of alignment.

Live music will be featured in this class and key in exploring the inextricable link between music and dance. Instructed by: T. Perfect for students who have taken other intro level dance courses and who want to broaden their dance knowledge and deepen their physical skill and experience. Students will try on various identities within dance - mover, creator, performer, writer, historian - in an attempt to holistically learn about Contemporary Dance.
