AIYF Dance Lab Summer School - 2009Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary Summer-School, Instruction, Practice. Contact organiser for times and further details. To book or for further details: Book, Info, Tel: +44 (0) 1224 213800. AIYF Dance Lab is a new development for the AIYF Dance Summer School. Dance Lab will be an opportunity to explore dance styles in depth with guest masterclass tutors from Scotland and abroad. Each masterclass will run over two or three days and encourage participants to extend their dance vocabulary and techniques. Dance Lab will have a strong emphasis on how the dancer creatively develops their own dance while keeping a strong technical reference point. Each day the dancers will have warm up classes concentrating on technical aspects of dance and then these will be developed by the different masterclass tutors through creative, improvisational and choreographic challenges. As well as classical ballet the masterclasses will explore contemporary styles of dance through body contact, improvisation, contemporary jazz and hip hop. Timetable: The course will start at 2pm on Wed 29th July and end after the sharing on Sat 8th August. Daily classes will run from 9.30am to 5.15pm. End of Course Sharing: At the end of course there will be an informal sharing of work, at 11am on Saturday 8th August, at Harlaw Academy. This event is free and open to friends and family of participants, AIYF staff and guests. Festival Events: Dance Lab participants will have the opportunity to participate in a number of festival events and see different festival performances, including the Welcome Ceremony, Festival Parade, dance shows at Aberdeen Arts Centre, HMT and the Lemon Tree. There will also be special entertainment nights at the festival accommodation, including cabarets by Festival participants, discos and concerts. (Attendance at these events will be in consultation with the dance tutors and Festival staff but is an important part of the AIYF Dance Lab experience.) |
