NEW COURSE TO BE OFFERED THIS SUMMER 2012!!
THERE WILL BE AN INFORMATIONAL MEETING REGARDING THIS COURSE FRIDAY APRIL 6 AT 2PM IN CARLISLE
PLEASE NOTE THIS COURSE IS FOR UPPER-DIVISION AND GRADUATE STUDENTS
For three and a half weeks, students will be immersed in a vibrant arts community that includes the American Dance Legacy Initiative (ADLI), the New York State Summer School for the Arts (NYSSSA), Skidmore College and the National Museum of Dance. Students will arrive in New York City on Thursday July 19. They will spend July 20-21 visiting Lincoln Center, the Juilliard School, the Martha Graham Center for Contemporary Dance and The Ailey School. On Sunday, July 22, they will travel to Saratoga Springs, NY, for a three-week residency. While in Saratoga, they will have direct contact with ADLI repertory and philosophy in the studio and through the extensive library of ADLI-generated materials. They will have daily classes taught by a renowned faculty that includes ADLI founders Carolyn Adams and Julie Adams Strandberg. And they will be exposed to the work of major choreographers, especially the artistic director of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Robert Battle, through the Battleworks Etude. They will also take part in an evolving dialogue that asks big questions such as “Is there an ideal model for educating dancers, choreographers and teachers?” “How is dance transmitted within the field and to the broader culture?” “How do theory and practice intersect in dance study?” “Can dance have significant impact on society?” and “How can the ideas generated through this intensive continue to resonate for each student, at UNM and in the larger field?”
While encountering an embodied dance history through work in the studio, students also will visit historic Jacob’s Pillow on July 28th to see a performance by contemporary choreographer Bill T. Jones. They will consider the impact and notion of “place” and “space” as they explore the locale of Saratoga Springs and its history in the context of dance history during the weekend of August 4-5. Meanwhile, studio and theoretical work based on the ADLI methodology are the core of study and will continue through the final concert and the end of the intensive and course on August 11.
This course is for upper division and graduate students and space is limited. Scholarships are available. Students will be selected by application. Applications should be sent to Mary Anne Santos Newhall at marianew@unm.edu. Applications should include name, email address, year in school and major and/or minor, resumé or bio, and a brief statement (no more than one page) on why you wish to enroll in this course and what you feel you have to contribute to the larger discussion of modern concert dance as an important part of American culture.
The deadline for applications is Friday April 27.
