r_catalog San Francisco Conservatory of Music Aug 18, 2021 Catalog APP 100 Music for Dancers Music and dance are closely aligned in almost every cultural tradition and enjoy an especially close relationship in ballet, modern dance, opera and musical theater. In this course students will deepen their understanding of music and learn about significant works of music and dance through group viewing and listening sessions accompanied by lectures and discussions. This course will meet twice a month. Once a month students will attend a live or virtual performance by Bay Area arts partners including SFCM, SF Symphony, SF Opera, and CalPerformances. In a second session each month students will view a filmed work of music and dance. Evaluation will be based on attendance and active participation in these sessions. Session topics will include the work by choreographers Martha Graham, Katherine Dunham, George Balanchine, Alvin Ailey, Merce Cunningham, Mark Morris, and Cathy Marston and composers J. S.
