Choreography and Blocking in Performance
Choreography and movement is an essential part of performance regardless of whether it is a movement- or a text-based piece. Nowadays, lots of theatre directors neglect professional approach to directing a movement in their performances.
This course introduces the essential components of successful performance-making: choreography, composition, and blocking. It gives directors and performers a chance to touch new ways of creating movement in their artistic works. By providing the tools and skills necessary to build strong mise-en-scene, blocking, composition, and movement directing, this course equips directors for production with performers.

Professional Approach
For most directors, the choreography, composition and blocking to accompany their work is not an after-thought; rather it is an essential, meaningful ingredient in the duration of the whole performance-making process. Directors often collaborate with choreographers and movement directors to plan, create, and realize dance or movement design concept. This course prepares directors for this communication.
The aim of this course is to prepare director for the performance production with performers, by equipping students with the tools and skills necessary to build strong mise-en-scene, blocking, composition and movement directing. The central topic is an exploration of ways to create choreography and movement in the performance.
