MAY Workshop
4 Week ROGUE Contemporary/Modern Intensive:
May 22nd 2011 - June 12th 2011
Sundays 3-5pm Dance Arts Academy
Artistic Director Hassan Christopher leads this 4 weekend intensive focusing on the fundamentals of hyper-physical contemporary movement. Develop seamless floor work, confident inversions, and ease dancing off center to create power, momentum and exaggerated moments of flight. Participants will follow Christopher in taking risks outside their comfort zone to achieve next level athleticism in their dancing. While the focus will be on developing a more aggressive hyper-physical approach dancers will also be challenged to balance virtuosity with expression inside a dynamic range of richly textured phrase work to strengthen performance intention, subtlety and clarity of movement.
Every workshop will begin with a warm up designed to increase mobility, core strength and body awareness while reinforcing proper alignment for longevity and injury free performance. The conditioning series will progress to inversions and off center play before moving into more dynamic expressions emphasizing coordination, musicality and precision. Christopher will integrate basic partnering and structured improvisation toward the end of class giving participants the opportunity to play and discover more of their performance range and potential inside the movement. The 4 week series will culminate with an informal showing for guests invited by the participants (optional)
Workshop rate $125
Advanced registration $99*
Students $80*
*DEADLINE MAY 15th
LOCATION:
Dance Arts Academy 731 South La Brea Avenue Los Angeles, CA 90036.
