Students will be led through an audition experience which will incorporate dance stylization and technique with emphasis on the social and theatrical dance forms relevant to the turn of the 21st century to the present. During coursework, the increasingly complex dance steps, formations, and across the floor sequences will further aid in the physical understanding and historical chronicling of the lineage of theatrical dance technique, as well as highlight the political and social contextualization of several key musicals from the era. During the production phase of the course, students will be guided through and included in the creation of choreography and production process, including overviews of the importance of staging, lighting, and costuming, and the culmination of the production as a formal presentation on stage or other performance venue. This course is for those with previous experience with musical theatre. Students must acquire appropriate dance shoes and attire for both rehearsal and performance, which will incur a fee.Usually HeldTue, Tue Thu 10:30am–10:55am
