This course provides students with opportunities to discover the skills of creative thinking through problem-solving exercises which are designed to uncover spatial, kinesthetic and emotional awareness, as well as the discovery of movement qualities. Emphasis is on personal growth with each class and assignment challenging the student’s own initiative to move physically and think quickly. Attire, terminology and health and safety issues are explained and discussed. Written and creatively challenging skills tests are part of this course. Because some of the class content may involve aerobic components, a medical release may be required. This class may be repeated for credit twice (total 3 credits).
