Summer at COMMON: Create & Perform Session 2
COMMON invites pre-professional and serious contemporary dancers (ages 18+) to join for a transformative two-week intensive with Alysia Johnson (Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, BOOM CRACK! Dance Company).
Program Dates: June 26 - July 8, 2023 (no class or rehearsals 7/4/23)
Location: COMMON, 1535 N. Dayton St., Chicago, IL 60642
Tuition: $900 (If invited to attend, $250 due at the time of registration on May 12, 2023)
This intensive will focus on helping dancers understand their strengths, improve choreography retention, master contemporary partnering, and bring storytelling to life through dance.
Alysia Johnson's instruction and choreography bridge the gap between Hip Hop, Ballet, Jazz, Modern, African, and Dance Theatre. Dancers will have the opportunity to delve into improvisation as composition and explore new techniques to enhance their craft. With a focus on humor and humanity, dancers will come together to play, risk, and push the boundaries of their artistry.
