Students will work alone and in small collaborative groups to create their own works integrating dance and video. Through creative projects, students will develop their own visual style and an increased proficiency with digital video cameras and editing. This course is an interdisciplinary course that meets with DANCE 462, bringing together 8 dance students and 8 media production students, to explore the intersections of the respective disciplines.
