The students are then invited to divide into groups and create their own piece based upon one particular style or characteristic. Follow up sessions are available, which could focus on one particular aspect, e.g. Fosse, Rogers and Hammerstein, Stephen Sondheim, international styles, creative movement, or a specific performer such as Gene Kelly or Fred Astaire. These workshops can be adapted to meet the requirements of the client. Period Movement (for students of all ages, half-day) This workshop is particularly relevant for a performing arts group from mixed disciplines, and examines dance/movement through the ages, considering the effect of sociological and political events on dance and movement, and relating the movement to the musical form (e.g. Minuet, Gavotte, Sarabande etc) |
