Section Description
Led by faculty and resident choreographer Julian Barnett, this course serves as a creative laboratory for developing, learning, and presenting a new choreographic work, students engage in the full creative process—from movement generation and research to refinement and performance. Emphasizing collaboration, experimentation, and ensemble practice, the course explores intersections of contemporary dance, music, and theatrical expression. This course is open to students of all backgrounds and requires no prior experience. It welcomes those with curiosity and a commitment to creative practice, with priority enrollment given to DNCE majors and minors.
While the course and creative process take place in Fall 2026, the final work will be presented in the UVM Dance Program’s annual concert, Dancing Uphill, in February 2027 at Cohen Hall Performance Studio. Students must be prepared to commit to rehearsals and performance schedules.
Interested students are encouraged to attend the UVM Dance Program Open House and Audition on March 30, 5:00–6:30 pm at Cohen Hall Performance Studio. If you are unable to attend, please contact the instructor to express interest.
Section Expectation
Classes will be held on Mondays from 5:00–7:00 PM in Cohen Hall, Room 110. Students should have a genuine interest in movement creation, choreographic practice, collaboration, and performance. Classes will function as rehearsals, and students are expected to attend all fall sessions, as well as all technical rehearsals and performances in February 2027.
