Collaborative Dance Composition Toolkit
Tuesday, August 11 from 12-3 p.m.
Instructor: Amanda Selwyn
Level: All
Price: $75, $50 for professional dancers and teachers
Amanda Selwyn's Collaborative Dance Toolkit Workshop will focus on two components of dance creation – phrase making and dance structures. First, Selwyn will guide participants through a series of functional exercises for creating focused and dynamic phrase work — prompting efficient and clear choice making and specificity of space, time, and energy. These solo, partner, and group activities will harvest a collective movement vocabulary. The second half of the workshop will focus on working with the vocabulary to compose cohesive and resonant choreographic structures. We will experiment with spatial design, pattern, repetition, pathways, direction, dynamics, speed, order, and groupings. This workshop is for dancers, choreographers, and teaching artists of all levels interested in expanding and freeing up their creative process.
