Contemporary dance is in the spotlight at a couple of upcoming workshops at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts.
The Shadbolt is offering a workshop called Dance Composition: sourcing from impulse, running three Sundays starting Jan. 20, from 1 to 5 p.m. each day. Instructor Donna Redlick will lead the course, which focuses on building a contemporary dance composition – exploring how to source movement material from creative impulse and then build a composition through methods of dance construction and Laban Movement Analysis. Students require some previous experience in contemporary dance, and it’s for dancers aged 21 and up. The course, which is held in Studio 100/101, costs $177, or $141.60 for seniors.
In February, dancers aged 18 and up can join in an open-level daytime dance class led by Amber Funk Barton. It’s geared to intermediate to advanced dancers who want to attend class during the day. The short-term class runs Mondays and Wednesdays, Feb. 4, 6, 11 and 13, from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in Studio 201. Registration is $69.90, or $55.90 for seniors.
