American Contemporary Jazz Summer Intensive

My American/Contemporary Jazz Summer Intensive will focus on the musical/lyrical aspects of jazz, which pulls from the inspirations from studying with Mary Brienza, Troy Powell, Sharon Wong, Fred Benjamin, Christian von Howard, and the late Luigi.

 

We will focus on the angles, lines, and use of the pelvis, and hips from center, across the floor, and in the combinations. Also, we will work on supporting ones center(core) when moving by using the breath to allow the liberty of movement through ones body to complete your lines when moving from slow to fast by being grounded so you the dancer, can make the smallest movement/gesture take on the biggest meaning. And, most importantly, how to find or define your character choices in the choreography through coaching you the dancers.

 

Objective of Each Course

Both the American Jazz and Modern Contemporary courses will focus more on the choreographic aspect of each styles, by us working on a set phrase for each respective week. From which I will be inviting a select few dancers to take part in my upcoming show for the premier of my company in October. The individuals I like to work with is not chosen solely on their technical abilities but mainly on how they embody and show forth their artistic approach of the material given to them. This is why the courses will be taught at an Open Level, giving each participant of the workshop an equal chance to come in and share their voice through movement.

 

This Summer Intensive will be held in english.
