One dancer shows us a movement phrase. We laugh at the nickname
another dancer gives to a variation on the same phrase. We see
how those movement phrases are put together and transformed to
make a dance. We hear about the happy accidents that send a dance
spinning into a wonderful direction its creator never intended.
We see the close camaraderie of dancers and experience how music
gives a new dimension to the movement. We're participating in Making
Dances, the company's open rehearsal that invites the audience
to experience a shared creative process. We leave smiling and invigorated
because we've laughed and learned and experienced creativity first
hand.
In preparation for our annual concert, the
company hosts a free open rehearsal at the intimate space of
Café Dance,
providing an informative and entertaining glimpse into the process
of making
dances. A casual atmosphere, honest answers and plenty of banter
make this one-hour sneak preview an audience favorite. |
