Course: CREATE - a project
Age group: 13+, advanced
Course content: 60h Basic Education in Arts study credits (TPO opinnot)
This project is led by dance artist and MA in Dance Pedagogy student Reettaleena Rauhala. The project explores creating movement in the moment as improvisation/freestyle, and as predetermined choreography. The idea is that the group together with the facilitator works toward creating an art work of some kind (the format may range from a dance performance to a photography exhibition – only imagination is the limit!). The first demo of the work will take place in December, and the second in April.
The project happens in a workshop format, spread over 14 meetings on Fridays and Saturdays during the season 2021/2022 (Note: rehearsals once or twice a month, see detailed schedule below). The project accrues 60h Basic Education in Arts study credits (TPO opinnot).
Aims:
Aim of the project is to provide and help discover tools for creating movement, thus tapping into own creative energy. Via this exploration, the participants may continue finding and redefining their own movement language, and gain confidence in their capabilities, skills and vision. The project also makes space for collective art making, giving an opportunity to rehearse group work, collective decision making, and interaction in general.
