Compositional Improvisation Workshops
(age 18+)
These monthly workshops were developed to give dancers regular opportunities
to hone their creative skills in making dance. In a supportive atmosphere,
students, as soloists and eventually as an ensemble, will focus on the intentional
and compositional shaping of spontaneous material, giving attention to the
aesthetic and poetic consequences of their choices. The artistic value and
integrity of one's "voice" is sharpened in conversation with the
whole and a dialogue emerges as individual aesthetics meet, interact and
expand. Limit 14 students.
