Modern Dance Technique
Each day begins with a 1.5 hour modern dance class with live accompaniment in the state of the art dance studio at the Chicago
Cultural Center.  The class focuses on performing movement with clarity and articulation; moving through space with command and
with awareness of self and others; exploring focus and use of imagery to shape movement; and, applying principles of dynamic
alignment, breath flow, and the body’s relationship to gravity to all movement.

Repertoire
Participants will learn excerpts from Hedwig Dances’ current repertoire with particular emphasis on developing partnering skills.

Improvisation/Composition
Dancers will explore and apply improvisational and compositional tools and techniques towards the creation of short dance studies that
will be performed on the last day of the workshop.  Emphasis will be on developing a discerning choreographic eye.
