Culminating in a performance by CDDC and participants for the community at large, SummerDance allows you into the world of dance as never before!
Schedule:
Monday through Friday 9:15 am - 4:15 pm, students will be immersed in modern technique, repertory and composition classes with the professional artists of CDDC learning to create and perform.
Each day a featured artist will teach a master class/workshop followed by Dance Dialogues, a brief recap of the day with artists and participants
At the conclusion of the residency, the participants and CDDC’s professional dancers will perform work explored, learned, and created for friends, family and the public.
In Class:
CDDC’s class structure is based on technically demanding work that challenges dancers to balance their own individuality and the work of the ensemble. With an emphasis on center-driven movement, weight transfer, breath phrasing, musicality and strong technique; dancers are given a class that develops the body, mind and spirit. The teaching artists will draw from CDDC repertory and students will learn, perform and create in the style of the work.
Faculty:
“As an artist, my work is about people and life experience. As a company we celebrate our heritages, legacies, diversity and, most importantly, our common humanness. At the core, our work is about dance as a universal language and a metaphor for the delicate balance between the individual and the community”.
