Contemporary Choreography: Chocolate Heads Performance Project (DANCE 30)

An interdisciplinary project-based class to develop dance technique, collaborative choreography, and associated visual and musical arts. We invite dancers, movers, and emerging creators of all styles and backgrounds. The Autumn 21-22 project theme will be Chocolate Heads at the Cantor: Dance, Upcycled Fashion, and the Cinematic Eye. The Chocolate Heads will continue the practice of creating intermedia events using dance, film projection on bodies and surfaces, live DJ, vocals, and runway presentation. This site-specific dance performance will feature upcycled costumes co-constructed by the students under the designer’s supervision. Students chosen to participate will engage in interrelated choreographic and art-making collaborations which address street performance, fashion ecologies, and social platforms. To be presented Feb. 2022 at the Cantor Art Center, we will reimagine the runway space as an arena for collective moving performance, while modeling ways of being that are body positive, transcultural, and gender expansive. All levels of experience are welcome. Week 1: TU 9/21–Introduction to project, creative team & CHs Band; THU 9/23–1st Audition Workshop. Contact Instructor (Aleta Hayes ahayes1@stanford.edu) for more information.
