Cat Coury will teach a Gaga warm-up followed by repertory from a recent evening length piece, ALANDA (choreography by Mario Bermudez Gil). The movement language combines elements of Hofesh Schecter, Ohad Naharin, Flamenco, and Floor Work. See November 4 for more information on the Modern Lab Series. This dance master class repertory series is co-sponsored by the EXCEL Program.

Each Modern Lab session features a different guest artist teaching a master class and sections from their repertory. This panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the students’ awareness of potential career possibilities. Each guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class.

In the final 15 minutes, faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q & A with each artist, discussing their career; their recommendations for transitioning from student to professional, and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects.
