Ballet Variations, Classical and Contemporary
June 24-27 Monday - Thursday
10:00am-2:00 pm
Teacher: Prentiss Benjamin
In this workshop, dancers will learn, rehearse, and have the opportunity to perform a variation from the classical and contemporary ballet canons. Participation in this workshop is designed to challenge and expand the dancers artistry and technique, to reinforce their understanding of ballet history, and to highlight the interplay between the classical and the contemporary. Special attention will be paid to musicality, fusing character with steps and learning how to decipher what a choreographer asks of his or her dancer.
Daily, ballet themed snacks will be provided.
Workshop fee : $230

July

Modern & Contemporary
Improvisation and Creation
July 15-18 Monday - Thursdays
10:00am - 12:00pm
Teacher: PJ Verhost
Within a structured improvisational setting we will develop heightened sensitivity within the body to create a stronger dialogue between physicality and imagination. In the first hour our goal will be to expand our own movement vocabulary to allow for new textures and finer details while strengthening physical coordination and creativity. The following hour we will investigate how to use our personal discoveries inside of phrase work and to generate our own choreography. Over the four days, we will work together to build something new that reflects the experience as a whole.
Workshop fee: $130
