MASTER CLASS | LESLIE SCATES
Saturday, June 4 | 10:30-12pm | $5 |
ENSEMBLE THINKING is a group improvisation training system consisting of rigorously structured movement scores focusing on a group's use of time and space. These scores provide limitations, which are the foundation for comprehensive group connectivity. AS a group discovers cohesion during the practice of the score, the limitations are removed, leading the group into an open improvisation that is supported by the established deep connectivity. Dancers trained in Ensemble Thinking are able to create dynamic and cohesive group improvisational performances.

MASTER CLASS | SUCHU DANCE
Saturday, June 18 | 10:30-12pm | $5 |
SUCHU REP/WEIRD SKILLS, led by Suchu Dance founder and choreographer Jennifer Wood, is a class that will investigate the smallest possibilities of movement as well as the broader strokes of dancing. Through the expressive articulation of the back and limbs, dropping weight and focusing on initiating movements from the core of the body, the unique movement style of Suchu Dance will be explored beginning with a warm-up based in creating a foundation of breath, strength, dynamic lyricism and humor. The class will progress into short movement combinations addressing specific elements of technique and functional anatomy, and then conclude with learning a section from the Suchu Dance concert repertory. Students will focus on quick assimilation and exploration of movement in terms of quality and personal expression. |
