Technology Life Forms is a computerized method for developing choreography and movement or body sequences. This method allows the student choreographer to develop dances that can be translated to live performers for presentation or can be developed into a dance presented in video format that may or may not be reality.
Students also become more familiar with, and develop more expertise, on the computer.
Forms taught by retired Dance Chair, Don Bondi, who studied under Will Smith at the University of Ohio in Columbus. The first semester of the class is devoted to becoming familiar with the computer technology of Life Forms , that is, how to use the figure and place it in various movement dimensions on the screen. The next step is the development of simple movement phrases using the torso as well as the appendages. And, finally, figures are placed on the computer stages. Time permitting, we then begin to explore the use of two figures and their interrelationships.
