DNC 225 - Aerial Acrobatics II

Course unit(s): 0.5
Prerequisite(s): DNC 125 Aerial Acrobatics I or instructor approval.
This course is designed to further the student’s knowledge of aerial work and circus theory. Through sequencing, choreography, and more advanced strength training, participants will gain stamina and the tools to create transitions between movements in the air. More advanced partnering will be explored as well as how to interact with the apparatus on the ground as a theatrical tool. Students will develop a solo work presented at the end of the semester. The course will be supplemented by studies in international circus history and theory on the role of circus in our current society.
