Making Contact
Whether it's physical, emotional, or psychological, meaningful contact between performers transforms movement from an athletic exercise to something that reveals story and character. The work for this week's lab will be the exploration of how to intensify this contact through multiple means primarily through movement games. These games will bring into contrast the relationship between competition and cooperation, how focus can affect relationship, and the meaning of real strength.
Each session features a different guest artist who teaches a masterclass and sections from their repertory—this panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the student’s awareness of what career possibilities are out there. The guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class.
In the final 15-20 minutes faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q and A interviewing each guest artist about their career and what recommendations they have about the transition from student to professional and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects
