  • Contemporary Dynamics with Tim Rubel

    Contemporary Dynamics with Tim Rubel

    Move with virtuosity and curiosity! In this contemporary/modern dance master class series, participants will enrich their dancing bodies through meditation, mindful technique, and invigorating choreographic sequences. We will begin each session by noticing how our bodies make contact with the floor underneath us and the air around us. Using the breath as our guide, we will move into a technical practice that combines the postural awareness of classical yoga with the bold release of postmodern dance. Before you know it, you will be moving athletically across the space, diving in and out of the floor. We will sometimes use improvisation as an entry point into this dynamic movement and you will also contribute your own movement ideas to each session. Dancers of any level and style are welcome but the series will be geared mostly towards intermediate and advanced contemporary movers.

    Adult Choreography Intensive 2023

    Stretch your body and your mind as you learn and perform three short pieces in our Adult Choreography Intensive 2023! At the end of the weekend, you will be a stronger and more versatile dancer.

    During the intensive, you’ll work with three different choreographers of three separate genres. ArVejon Jones will guide you on a journey through jazz. He has a fierce passion for the style and an encyclopedic knowledge. Katie Roy will share her process for creating contemporary movement, understanding your organic impulse, and tapping into your innate creativity. And Victor Talledos will open your world to contemporary ballet, demonstrating how traditional movement can be broadened to make fresh, new artistic statements.

    Our Adult Choreography Intensive 2023 culminates in an in-person showing in one of our studios, a great opportunity to perform for friends, family, and peers.

  • Repertory and Kinesiology Workshop with Nol Simonse, in Partnership with Devon Chen

    Repertory and Kinesiology Workshop with Nol Simonse, in Partnership with Devon Chen

    In this workshop, Devon Chen PT, DPT, OCS, and Nol Simonse will lead dancers in a fun, engaging process designed to deepen our awareness of our bodies and artistic capabilities.

    Nol will teach material from his piece “clown cage,” created and performed with Miche Wong in a residency at Deborah Slater’s Studio 210. This material is challenging, and designed to increase memory, stamina, and performative qualities. The workshop is open to dancers at any level, but the phrases being taught are geared towards intermediate dancers.

    Devon will guide dancers in an exploration of movement to gain a better understanding of the anatomy and bio-mechanics of dance. Each class will focus on a different topic that will enable dancers to break down barriers that have been holding them back. 

    Approach your body and dancing from different points of view—grow and stretch your knowledge and capabilities with these two wonderful teachers!
