Solo Dancing with Dawne Carleton 


10 weeks - $500.00 (3 participants per class)
Saturdays September 27 - November 29, 2014: 10 am to noon
IGAC Studio at Artscape Youngplace
*Special CADA-ON Price of $475.00*

"The class…was helpful for me in many ways, on many levels.  It felt like an engagement with pure creativity.”   - Former participant
 
In this masterclass-format intensive we use the pared-down structure of unaccompanied solo improvisation to discover what each participant is doing when they improvise, clarify what they would like to be doing, and practice staying connected to their intention, or score, in performance.  Beginning with one-minute improvisations, students will be led in a focused process involving dancing, reflecting, observing and more dancing as they build toward 10-minute improvisations in the final class.  Additional exercises will be introduced to elucidate specific concerns and interests as they arise.  Each class will begin with 30 minutes of silent self-directed warm-up/practice.  An optional informal showing of work will take place at the end of the session.
 
This class is designed for dancers interested in moving beyond habitual blocks and limitations, developing presence, skill and impact in improvised performance and establishing their own body of improvisation-based work. Practitioners in related fields seeking advanced study are also welcome.
 
For more information and to register, please contact dawnecarleton@yahoo.com.
 
Dawne Carleton’s work as a dance artist, instructor and creative process facilitator is rooted in an improvisation practice that spans over 20 years.  She received a Canada Council grant for Masters-level studies at the European Dance Development Center in The Netherlands.  She is a choreographer who “enhance[s] our understanding of who and what we are as embodied creatures” (The Dance Current).  She brings a deep sense of listening to one-on-one creative process facilitation work with artists from diverse fields.  In addition to Solo Dancing Carleton leads Group Practice, a weekly space for movement-based practice and dialogue.
 
*$100 non-refundable deposit due upon registration; remainder of fees must be received by Friday, September 5 2014.

Beginners can enrol in our Fundamentals of Dance I which serves as an ideal starting point to take your first steps in dance. If you want to learn something new with others who have never taken a dance class, this is the class for you! 


Fundamentals of Dance II builds on the skills developed in our Fundamentals of Dance I class. This class is perfect for dancers who are ready to move beyond the beginner level and to take on more complex and challenging movement material. 


Dancers who already have some experience in contemporary dance will enjoy more of a challenge in our Contemporary Technique class, which can be taken on a drop-in basis. You can save both time and money by purchasing a class card. 


All of our classes feature live accompaniment and are taught by inspiring teachers who have the ability to engage students and instill in them the joy of movement. www.schooloftdt.org
