Movement Sequence Graduation
Students will perform a final showcase featuring excerpts from in-class showings and their prepared scenes. Students will be evaluated using a rubric that emphasizes growth, technique application from the current semester’s modules, and, where applicable, progress demonstrated from previous semesters. This showcase serves as an opportunity for students to demonstrate their mastery of skills, creative growth, and the integration of feedback received throughout the course.
Students will perform, at minimum, the following:
The Wand Dance
Verse in Action Scenes
A Monster Call Sequences
The Rumble
448 Psychosis Group Chorus Monologue
Perhaps the Volatile Duets
Assessment
Students will be assessed on the following: integration and application of semester-long techniques; clarity, precision, and embodiment of movement vocabulary; physical and emotional storytelling; responsiveness to ensemble and partner work; expressive use of gesture, space, rhythm, and flow; incorporation of feedback from mid-semester review; demonstration of artistic growth, stamina, and performance readiness across all presented pieces.
Final Reflection
As part of the Movement Sequence Graduation, students will be asked to write an artist's statement or record a video essay discussing what they have learned from Movement, I, II & III, and all of the physical training at UMBC to this point. This should include discussions on what we have worked on, how it has helped you, areas for further growth, and more. The artist statement should be no longer than 2 pages 1.5 spaced and no longer than 5 minutes if a video essay is created.
