The Choreography Intensives
Objectives
The primary objective of the program is to immerse students in a concentrated exploration of choreographic craft, practice and resources, with shared expertise from a group of master teachers and choreographers who are informed by the Limón/Humphrey heritage. Students will be enriched by the program’s location in New York City and will have discounted access to performances and workshops.
Description
The program will be comprised of three twelve-week workshops, each of which will be a complete thematic unit. Ideally the workshops would be taken consecutively; however due to visa restrictions for international students, individuals may participate in any sequence of the courses, or may elect to enroll for a single workshop. However depending on enrollment this may be limited.
Each workshop will examine choreographic craft and process through exploratory laboratories, craft practicum, and weekly work-in-progress showings. The participants are expected to develop a choreographic project which will be shown every few weeks for feed-back from the instructor and fellow students. Each twelve-week unit will have a particular focus for the Choreographers Lab and Craft Practicum, while the Projects sessions will focus on the students’ own work. Additional sessions will address navigating the resources of the New York dance scene and other pertinent issues for emerging choreographers, such as Performance spaces, funding opportunities, collaboration, and budgeting. A final session will present the student projects to an invited audience, with feedback provided by the full faculty.
A sample outline of course offerings for one session is attached. Since each teacher will develop an individual syllabus, this is only offered as a sample of what is envisioned at this time. Participants may also elect to take five weekly technique classes at Peridance at a reduced, but additional fee. These may be in Limón technique or other disciplines, including ballet, jazz, yoga and Pilates.
Participants
Applicants will be screened for participation in the program. A typical participant will have completed an undergraduate dance major at a college, university or academy, or have produced choreography independently. Students will be required to understand and speak English. In addition to a choreographic résumé, acceptance into the program will rely on videotapes of choreography, letters of recommendation, and where available, critical reviews. The course is limited to twelve students per session.
