This contemporary class hopes to awaken the athlete and artist in all of us. Rooted in clear technique practices it emphasizes healthy alignment, flexibility, stamina and artistry. These principles are used as points of departure for risk taking and investigation. Improvisational tools are utilized as a way to awaken the senses, challenge movement conventions, and find ways to navigate from feet to floor seamlessly. This high intensity class builds into learning excerpts of LED repertoire, giving dancers the opportunity to dig deep into the movement and investigate elements of dynamics, direction, size and texture. Be prepared to sweat and surprise yourself! Open to intermediate & advanced dance students from middle school to high school.
The workshop runs from 4-5:15pm.
About LED:
LED combines contemporary dance, original music, and film into breathtaking cinematic experiences. Founded in 2015, LED is a project-based arts nonprofit based in Boise, Idaho. LED’s innovative and accessible artistic experiences are created by the artistic trio of choreographer Lauren Edson, musician Andrew Stensaas, and filmmaker Kyle Morck. Every moment of an LED production is built from the ground up by this trio and a large contingent of extremely talented dancers, musicians, designers, and technicians. The group gathers on a project-by-project basis with a focus on narrative and a dedication to exploring many different mediums and forms through a combination of movement, music, and film.
