Amy Chavasse will teach a section of a solo entitled: Conspiracy Going, (Amy needs a lot of empathy) that she toured with SOLA in 2014-15.

Sola is an evening of solo dances choreographed for and by women. Curated by University of South Florida assistant professor Andee Scott and sponsored by the USF School of Theatre and Dance, the performance showcases the work of choreographers from around the country, including Amy Chavasse (MI), Tzveta Kassabova (VT), Pam Pietro (NY), Mary Williford-Shade (TX), and Bliss Kohlmyer and Andee Scott (FL).

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
