For an Undergraduate Composition Course: A Reading List
From Blog Director Jill Randall:
Looking back at the 165 artist profiles and monthly features from the past 6 years, I have selected 25 blog posts to use within a college Composition Course. The wide range of viewpoints and career paths can offer a window into working as a choreographer in the United States right now. Students can take away - and immediately experiment with - questions and suggestions from each choreographer. Use one blog post a week as a discussion starter, enlivening a Composition Course with real world applications and considerations about dancemaking.
You can share the links below, or print out each post to include in a course reader. Each post takes 5 minutes to read.
Feedback and stories are always welcome - randalldanceprojects@gmail.com.
