From phillypard at gmail.com Mon Feb 6 10:15:38 2012 From: phillypard at gmail.com (Philly PARD) Date: Mon, 6 Feb 2012 10:15:38 -0500 Subject: [PhiladelphiaDANCE.org Listserv] PARD classes the week February 7th-9th Message-ID: *This Week February 7th-9th * *Technique Classes at Philly PARD * * * * * *Katherine Kiefer Stark*** *Tuesdays ongoing starting Feb 7th* *10am ? Noon / $8* *Class Description*: Blending Kline Technique, Safety Release Technique, and release technique Katherine?s class is an energetic exploration of movement from the inside out. Emphasis is placed on the initiation of the movement and the path the various body parts take in space to discover how one?s own body moves within the movement. We embrace the space through phrases that move in and out of the floor and carry us in and out of balance. Class begins quietly and gradually builds in complexity, culminating in a dynamic phrase. Sleeves and kneepads or long pants are recommended. * * *Eleanor Goudie-Averill* *Wednesdays Ongoing* *6-8pm / **$8* *Class Description:** *In my largely Lim?n-based technique class, I use an exponential set of spinal exercises that breathe out of initial somatic floor work to help the student to fully arrive to class and give complete attention to our practice. I progress to thorough foot articulation exercises that begin to integrate the upper and lower body halves into simultaneity. Our warming from the inside out is followed by more complex and physically demanding movement phrases. Knowing the demands of today?s dance world, I work for a balance of strength and flexibility in my dancers and stress correct alignment to encourage injury prevention. I believe that active dance practice infuses our receptive bodies with needed reminders and further understanding of muscle patterning, rhythm, relationships to space, and anatomical structure. Ultimately, I want students to feel integrated in their bodies and aware enough to be fully thinking and feeling organisms able to learn and remember a variety of phrase material and analyze movement in depth, even while in motion. *Scott McPheeters** **Thursdays February: 9th, 16th and 23rd** **10am ? Noon / $8 * *Class Description:**? *This class will explore dynamic shifts in weight, skillful abandon, and energetic pathways in movement....among other things like lots of full-bodied, integrated dancing. Please bring a long sleeved shirt and knee pads if you like them. We'll be moving in and out the floor quite a bit. Come dance with me :)** * * *Improvisation at Philly PARD* *Manfred Fischbeck* *Tuesdays (Weekly)* *7:30 ? 9:30pm / $8* *Dance In The Moment:** An intermediate to advanced dance improvisation and composition class with live music. The course is dedicated to the processes of research, creation and performance of new solo or group works in dance and dance theater.* *Manfred Fischbeck* is the Artistic Director of Group Motion Dance Company and Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of the Arts. Fischbeck leads the class in collaboration with experienced Philadelphia contemporary music players. *Contact Improv Jam* *Facilitated by Loren Groenendaal and Benjamin Pierce* *Thursdays (Weekly)* *7 ? 10pm / $5 - $10, sliding scale* * * *"Contact Improv is a movement form where dancers move to follow the play of touch. Gravity and the floor are constant partners. Human touch unites the forces that act upon the body with the sensations they produce within the body." -Steve Paxton A jam is a creative space for open improvisation, governed by mutual respect and awareness. A jam is an opportunity to play, to research, to experiment, to express, to work it out, to connect with others. Dancing alone, in duets, or in groups, we stretch our capacity to listen and lead as we follow the dance. Newcomers welcome!* *Philly PARD at Mt. Vernon Dance Space* *1720 Mt.

When you?re lucky? For her first length full evening, Philadelphia dancer-choreographer Lindsay Browning (Scrap, Group Motion, Olive Prince, Idiosyncrazy Productions) presents an intriguing multi-media journey in and out of several lucky lives told through sweeping choreographed movement, stunning visual imagery, original music and a deeply personalized and powerful portrayal of Abraham Lincoln. The work is filled with metaphorical interplay between time, place, person, existence and remembrance. It pulls from the past, acknowledges uncertainties of the present, and imagines the future. Lindsay possibly discovered ?Lincoln Luck? when she was just a child. Her father, who is an actor, was preparing to create the image of late president Abraham Lincoln in the den of their home. Lindsay was 7 years old and witnessed her father recreate Lincoln right in front of her. Twenty-one years later, she has created a performance work with his image of ?Lincoln Luck? in mind.

Held on the 2nd Thursday of each month, October-May. Scratch Night is open to all, admission is free, and beer and snacks are provided, so join us for the social and interactive side of art-making! Please let us know if you are coming, and CLICK HERE TO RSVP: http://livearts-fringe.ticketleap.com/scratch-night-february-9/ Date: Thursday, February 9 Time: 7:00pm - 9:00pm Place: Live Arts Studio 919 N 5th Street Philadelphia, PA 19123 Featured Artists Luciana Achugar FEEL...FORM FEEL...FORM (or FEELingpleasuresatisfactioncelebrationholyFORM) by Luciana Achugar is a new dance quartet created for 3 dancers and Achugar with award-winning collaborators Michael Mahalchick (sound design), Carrie Wood (lighting design) and Walter Dundervill (costumes). FEEL...FORM is dance as celebration of experience, and of pleasure as the consummation of experience. It embraces carnality while resisting clich?s of sexiness/objectification, moving beyond a superficial relationship to pleasure in overtly sexualized bodies prevalent in mass media and culture. Inspired by the 60's psychedelic experience and its quest for enlightened interconnectivity and transcendence through altered states of consciousness, FEEL...FORM's all-female cast engage in Achugar's signature durational phrasing multiplying the dancers' movements to create an organic, nature-like form reflecting both rigorous formalism and corporeal excess. Luciana's Scratch Night showing is part of her visiting artist residency at the LAB. Jumatatu Poe vs. Jesse Zaritt This is the ultimate showdown - superhero vs vampire - infinity, perfection, chosen-ness... Egged on by a long series of live and virtual conversations with one another, Jumatatu Poe and Jesse Zaritt will charge and tackle looming propositions about their material selves, their bodies - and the rest. In valiant efforts to discover meaning through metamorphosis, these two dancers will explore remaking themselves, within one moment, and then within the next. Hosted by the LAB in a weeklong creative residency, Jesse and Jumatatu are excited to share their week's findings with you. Devynn Emory A horse is not a home Choreographed by: devynnemory/beastproductions Performed by: Margot Bassett, devynn emory, Jaamil Kosoko, Meghan Milam Hair design: Hayden Dunham *this piece is currently in development as part of New York Live Arts studio residency program, and will be presented there on Feb 24 & 25 devynnemorybeastproductions.com Brian Osborne THE FLORIDIANS 2011-2012 LAB Fellow Brian Osborne will present an excerpt of his research in the LAB. THE FLORIDIANS will be a modern day comic Guernica: it will imagine a world where golf carts, dark tans, cancer, Spanish, sugar barons, alligator wrestlers and tennis pros are all swept up into the spiritual bankruptcy ravaging a post-foreclosure America. In THE FLORIDIANS, Florida beomes a metaphor for the soul in crisis and the impending doom of the American dream. More about Scratch Night: Scratch Night is a monthly salon designed to foster the social, interactive, and accessible qualities of art-making while investing in artists' creation of new works of dance, theater, or cross-genre performance. Funding from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation's Knight Arts Challenge Philadelphia will underwrite the first two seasons of the program, which will run annually from October through May. Scratch Night invites audiences into the artistic process and plays a key role for artists who are testing, experimenting, and building new ideas. Derived from its predecessor the Live Arts 2nd Thursday Series, Scratch Night builds upon the core concept that candid audience feedback offers artists valuable insight as they work to develop new performance-based work. Artists will show brief segments of newly developed material, and audiences will offer feedback through various means, including a moderated talk-back. At the close of the season in May, nine Scratch artists will be asked to submit fellowship proposals and one will be selected by Live Arts programming staff to participate in the LAB Fellowship program for the following season.

Drawing its name from filmmaker Tim Burton's (Edward Scissorhands, Alice in Wonderland) book of short poems and sketches titled The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories, Oyster is a witty blend of ballet, mime, modern dance, physical comedy and acrobatics laden with the dreamlike qualities of Fellini, the keen intellect of Pina Bausch and the physical prowess of Cirque du Soleil. Oyster's choreography, costumes and set create a world that is "part surreal vaudeville, part circus, and part toy store after midnight... a delight for the eye" (The Village Voice) with wandering street acrobats, oddly striking creatures and enchanting dance. The cast of 12 performers in doll-like make-up, spiky blonde wigs and tutus alternately become puppets or puppeteers. In one delightful scene, a girl in a bouffant dress becomes a ringing bell. Recipient of Israel's Theater Academy Award, Oyster boasts a score as eclectic as its performers, spanning opera (Pagliacci), tango (Piazzolla), Harry James, Yma Sumac and Tuvan throat singers. Dance Celebration is presented by Dance Affiliates and the Annenberg Center. Performances take place Thursday, February 9, 2012 at 7:30 PM and Saturday, February 11, 2012 at 8 PM, 3680 Walnut St, Philadelphia, PA. Tickets start at $20. There are special discounts for students and DancePass holders. Visit www.danceaffiliates.org for outreach activities. For tickets or for more information, please visit AnnenbergCenter.org or call 215.898.3900. Tickets can also be purchased in person at the Annenberg Center Box Office. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

When do transitions happen; do they exist? Why do we sometimes feel lost in space, empty of inspiration? How does our body awareness and mind consciousness change when being watched? These questions accompany us on our afternoon outings as we investigate the compositional options available to us while improvising, especially when we feel overwhelmed by input and stumble upon the unfamiliar. As we become more comfortable with uncertainty and not-knowing, we shift our focus to exploring different aspects of our performance presence, including how to draw-deflect-redirect attention, and the connection between physical attitude and narrative intention. Finally, through broadening our pallet of options of how we approach reading and relating to our surroundings, fellow performers, and the audience, we increasingly become empowered to both create and allow opportunities for something to reveal itself in the void of nothing, or in the midst of overabundance. All to uncover what inspires-motivates-drives us to communicate emotions-thoughts-states with the outside world. Is anyone really watching? Why should they? INTO THE JUNGLE is for dancers, actors, performers and artists from all disciplines and training backgrounds, for beginners and professionals. ~ *2/15 ImageLab Composition Workshop* Making images throughout the afternoon?either quickly with reckless abandon or slowly with careful consideration?we experiment with elements such as movement, action, voice and object. The frame of our making process varies greatly as we continuously engage with these questions: What is an image? How many distinct components does an image have? Where are the boundaries of an image; when does it begin, end? Our pursuit is to deepen our awareness of the options at our disposal and choices confronting us during the making process, and, in so doing, gain a greater degree of freedom with our images and trust in ourselves. IMAGE LAB is for dancers, actors, performers and artists from all disciplines and training backgrounds, for beginners and professionals. * ~ 2/16 The Joy of Manipulation Contact Improvisation Class* In this class we discover how manipulating & and being manipulated can be an inspiring source for expanding our spectrum of movement and range of expressiveness. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Made possible with support from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through Dance Advance, the Company residency begins Saturday, February 18, with a Symposium on The Contemporary Performance of Sex, Gender and Embodiment. Events continue through the week. Performances of Fort Blossom Revisited (2000/2012) are Friday February 24 at 8pm, Saturday February 25 at 2pm and 8pm, and Sunday February 26 at 2pm in the Hepburn Teaching Theater in Goodhart Hall. Seating is limited. Bryn Mawr?s Campus is located at 101 N. Merion Ave., just 3 blocks from the Septa R5 line. Performance tickets are $20, $18 for seniors, $10 for students with ID, and $10 for Dance Pass holders. Tickets and more information are available online at http:// www.brynmawr.edu/arts/series.html or by calling 610-526-5210. Travel information and maps are available at http://www.brynmawr.edu/campus/visiting.shtml Fort Blossom, choreographed and designed by Jasperse, premiered as a 40-minute work in 2000. The work is being revisited and expanded with lead support from Bryn Mawr College into a 60-minute piece for four performers: Ben Asriel, Lindsay Clark, Erika Hand, and Burr Johnson. Fort Blossom Revisited (2000/2012) is a personal look at the body (alternately medical, eroticized and/or aestheticized) which invites the audience to examine contemporary notions of how we experience the body as both owners and spectators. The work contains nudity and sexual content. Until now, Fort Blossom, a gorgeous and challenging work, has only been performed four times. Deborah Jowitt wrote in the Village Voice, ?The contrasts in Fort Blossom are dazzling: black and white, color and neutral tones, men and women, nakedness and body coverings, intimacy in bloom and tough, blocky structures. Fort Blossom is more austere than Excessories [Jasperse?s 1995 breakout work], but no less brave, no less exquisite.? The work carries forward central themes of earlier works by Jasperse, who is considered one of the leading voices in contemporary dance today. The New York Times noted: ?When John Jasperse makes a new work, it should be seen: end of story.? The program essay written for this occasion by dance scholar Suzanne Carbonneau states: ?He begins by foregrounding body parts usually subsumed in western dance: the back, the soles of the feet, the genitalia. In Fort Blossom, Jasperse pays special attention to the buttocks and its interior. The resulting movement redefines beauty entirely: celebrating inelegance, awkwardness, unexpectedness In acknowledgment of the troubled history around the female nude in western art and pornography, where women have been objectified, co-opted, and consumed, Jasperse reversed expectations. He divided his cast by gender: the men would be naked, the women would be clothed. And he embedded this dichotomy in the movement, structure, and design of the entire work, bifurcating the compositional strategies and stage space, devising an antinomic title.? John Jasperse Company Residency Schedule (these events are free and open to the public): Saturday, Feb. 18, 1-5 p.m. Symposium: The Contemporary Performance of Sex, Gender and Embodiment Hepburn Teaching Theater, Bryn Mawr College, Goodhart Hall Symposium with Dr. Ann Cooper Albright, Professor of Dance and Theater, Oberlin College; Dr. Linda Caruso Haviland, Director of Dance, Bryn Mawr College; John Jasperse, Artistic Director/Choreographer of John Jasperse Company; Dr. Mark A. Broomfield, Post Doctoral Fellow at the University of Austin; RoseAnne Spradlin, New York City-based choreographer; and Gregory Holt, Philadelphia-based experimental dance maker.

Email: aclarke at brynmawr.edu John Jasperse Company aims to challenge and engage audiences in rich, innovative aesthetic and intellectual experiences, thereby expanding the form of contemporary dance. John Jasperse graduated from Sarah Lawrence College in 1985, and then moved to New York City to live and work. In 1996, he created Thin Man Dance, Inc., a New York-based not-for-profit organization which supports the work of John Jasperse Company. For the Company, Jasperse has created fourteen evening-length works including Canyon which premiered during the 2011 Philadelphia Live Arts Festival. Jasperse?s work has been featured in festivals and by presenting organizations across the United States, including the Walker Art Center, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and REDcat; in Brazil, Chile, Israel and Japan; and throughout Europe including the Venice Bienniale, TanzQuartier Vienna and Dance Umbrella in London. Jasperse has been honored with prestigious awards in the United States and abroad including a New York Dance and Performance (?Bessie?) Award in 2001 in recognition of his body of choreographic work, the 1999 Scripps/ADF Primus-Tamaris Fellowship, the Doris Duke Award (1998), the 1997 Mouson Award by K?nstlerhaus Mousonturm in Frankfurt, Germany; three prizes in the 1996 Rencontres Internationales Chor?graphiques de Bagnolet; and the Choreography Prize at the 3rd Suzanne Dellal International Dance Competition (1996) in Tel Aviv, Israel for Excessories. Under the umbrella of the Company, Jasperse has created several works for other companies: See Through Knot, commissioned by the Baryshnikov Dance Foundation for White Oak?s Dance Project (2000); The Rest, commissioned by the Batsheva Dance Company in Tel Aviv, Israel (2000); ? double face for the Lyon Op?ra Ballet, France (March 2002); missed FIT for The Irish Modern Dance Theater, Dublin, Ireland (October 2002), Highline, as part of the Montana Suite Project for Headwaters Dance Company, Missoula, MT, and most recently Spurts of Activity Before the Emptiness of Late Afternoon for Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company, Salt Lake City, UT (2010). The Bryn Mawr College Performing Arts Series has presented great artists and performances to audiences in the Philadelphia area since 1984, creating an environment in which the value of the arts is recognized and celebrated. Talks and workshops provided free to the public help develop arts awareness and literacy. The Series works to lower barriers to arts access through its partnership with Art-Reach, a nonprofit dedicated to improving arts accessibility for people of all ages and circumstances, and through its low ticket prices. Partnering in recent seasons with such organizations as the Baryshnikov Arts Center, the Bryn Mawr Film Institute and the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival, the Bryn Mawr College Performing Arts Series has presented performances and enriching events by such luminaries and visionaries as Meredith Monk, John Waters, Il Fondamento, the Khmer Arts Ensemble of Cambodia, and Urban Bush Women. The Bryn Mawr College Performing Arts Series gratefully acknowledges support for its 2011-12 season from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and from MainLine Media News, media sponsors. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
