Chocolate Heads is seeking dancers and movers from all styles and levels of experience; we also welcome creators from other disciplines, including poets, visual artists, filmmakers, musicians, and engineers. WEEK 1: TU 9/24--Intro to Project & CHs Band; THU 9/26--Audition Workshop. Attendance during Week 1 is mandatory; contact instructor, Aleta Hayes (ahayes1@stanford.edu), for further inquiry.

An interdisciplinary project-based course to develop dance technique, collaborative choreography, and associated visual and musical arts. The Autumn 24-25 project will draw upon Olympic imagery, contact improvisation, social dance, and other movement forms including martial arts, breakdancing, and track and field. By listening for dances that are yet to be embodied, we will play original games and design rituals that activate our collective strengths. How might we galvanize spontaneous cooperation? How do we leverage competition to raise the bar for creativity and amplify our artistic voice? What is the role of rhythm in physical collaboration? Through this process, we will craft a vision of embodied solidarity. The project will culminate in an intermedia event, performed as part of the Spring 2025 TAPS Dance Main Stage.
