Taylor 2 Dance Company

Taylor 2 / Arden Court

THE 2009 WORKSHOP

From May 31– June 20, 2009, the Company will offer an intensive workshop for pre-professional and professional dancers at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York. Led by Director Andy LeBeau, the program will offer participants training in Technique in the Taylor Style, Taylor Repertory, Ballet, Conditioning, and Special Interest Classes. Students will enjoy Skidmore’s facilities while training and performing under the guidance of LeBeau and Taylor 2 company members.

Technique in the Taylor Style: established by Paul Taylor, this robust approach to movement calls upon varying degrees of power and agility and takes its primary impulse from the core and solidly grounded legwork with a focus on space, rhythm, and tone.

Taylor Repertory: movement vocabulary from chosen solo and group works addresses Taylor’s unique approach to architecture and the body in space with an emphasis on musicality,posture, and gesture.

Ballet / Conditioning: reinforces alignment, core articulation, and strength.

Special Interest Classes: options may include Partnering, Repertory Analysis, Audition Advice, Injury Prevention, and TeachingTechniques.
