Afro-Contemporary (Intro to Wade in the Water)
12:00 PM - 1:15 PM
Pierre Batiste
This class celebrates a variety of Afro-Contemporary movement styles. Drawing inspiration for Kathryn Dunham's Afro-Contemporary technique which features spinal fluidity and undulation, Talawa technique, an Afro-Polycentric dance style that focuses on isolations and West African-based movement, this class emphasizes the importance of the small details that make a dance like Wade in the Water dazzling to watch.
Improvisational Scene-Building
1:30 PM - 2:45 PM
chloe ilene misner
This class brings together tools of movement composition, theater, improvisation, and play in order to pique curiosity and generate ideas. From this act of discovery, we can then create material for dance and theater performance. The class will begin with basic concepts for scene building and move into practice with improvising scenes. After a quick pause for verbal discussion about what surfaced and what inspired us, we will begin to set a repeatable performance that mixes choreography with scores for improvisation. At the end, we will perform for each other. Class will involve working all together and in small groups.
