Class Descriptions and Bios
RoseAnne Spradlin
"Consciousness and Dance"
This week of classes will explore resonance, vibration, cellular consciousness, and the
autonomic nervous system as aspects of ourselves that lie below the normal realm of conscious decision and action. These classes will serve as an introduction to one's conscious/unconscious dialogue in movement; with this information individual patterns, preferences and blocks can begin to be explored. Information given in the classes is based on the Body-Mind Centering® work.
···RoseAnne Spradlin is a choreographer and teacher based in New York City. Spradlin has studied and taught Body-Mind Centering® for many years and is a core faculty member of the school's training programs. Spradlin is also a practicing licensed acupuncturist and herbalist. Spradlin's choreography has been seen in many NYC venues; she won a Bessie for her work "under/world" in 2003. She has received many grants and fellowships and continues to develop her creative work.
Chrysa Parkinson
Contemporary technique
The focus of this class is the relationship between what you do and how you do it. We will use improvisational scores, written/set phrase material, and coordination exercises to approach performance. Through self observation and dialogue we will identify movement habits (or skills) and use them to broaden the range of experience, for both the viewer and performer. The emphasis will be on authoring (vs modeling), sensing (vs searching), and doing (vs interpreting).
···Chrysa Parkinson is a dancer and teacher in Brussels and New York. This year she is performing with Deborah Hay(US), Thomas Hauert/Zoo(BE), and Jonathan Burrows (UK). She has been a member of Tere O'Connor Dance since 1986. Her teaching is influenced by Irene Hultman, Jennifer Monson, Barbara Mahler, Roseanne Spradlin, David Zambrano, and the people with whom she is performing. Since 98, Chrysa has been involved in an ongoing investigation of performance, technique and improvisation with AT DeKeersmaker's company Rosas, and with the training program P.A.R.T.S. She has also taught Sasha Walz's company, Ultima Vez and at the Bates Dance Festival, Impulstanz (Vienna), and at Movement Research in NYC. In 1996 she received a Bessie (NY Dance and Performance Award)
for sustained achievement.
Martin Kilvady
Martin Kilvady’s teaching is coming out of his own experience and his joy of dancing. In his class, he wants to improve stability, strength, flexibility and coordination, to build them up simultaneously, making them basic body tools ready to be applied in any kind of movement. He wants to extend the range of possibilities and find other ways of moving, to use the supporting body structure in the most efficient way, to develop the consciousness of every part of the body, to coordinate and unify its action. Dance sequences are taught from the very beginning of his class are are used as a warm-up, as a technical exercise, as a full dance experience together with music. Music is an important inspiration in his dancing and he wants the dancer to find his own technique through observation and intuition.
How to become better dancer? Just dance!
···Born in Slovakia, Martin was a member of the Torzo Ballet Company in Bratislava from 1992 to 1996. In 1997 he became a member of Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker's Rosas dance company in Brussels. He danced in Woud, in the reprise of Mikrocosmos and Achterland, and contributed to the creation of Just before, Drumming, I said I, and In real time. Since 2003 he has been a member of Thomas Hauert's company ZOO. For the last few years he has been teaching and preparing training programs for dance companies Rosas, Ultima Vez, and Charleroi Danse, guiding workshops at the schools of P.A.R.T.S and CDC Toulouse and teaching open classes at Impulstanz Festival Wien.
Janet Panetta
This workshop focuses on the deconstruction of movement into technical basics that dancers from varied backgrounds can understand. Everyone learns. We work from the bottom up, from foundation to anatomically sound, honest movement. We work on the specifics of how one learns, how to analyse movement with the tools of weight, shape, space, rhythm and time. It is the investigation of working from the inside out, from placing the bones where the muscles are allowed to function effortlessly and efficiently, thus discouraging muscular overuse. We remove all artificial affectations, leaving just the core technique, the pure physical architecture of the body. The ultimate goal of this study is to appreciate function as beauty. To understand, for example, that legs and feet that work correctly become beautiful, and not to strive for beautiful from an outside source. Another very important goal of this workshop is to carry this knowledge into immediate application. This is a practical, technical course, not just a theory lesson. Everything discussed gets reconstructed back into movement. Participants see results from the work and can easily apply it to other forms of dance.
···A classical dancer from American Ballet Theater who later become a modern and post modern dancer, Janet is a favorite teacher in the European contemporary dance world. She currently works with Pina Bausch, ROSAS, PARTS and other companies and festivals in Europe. Janet’s New York studio Panetta Movement Center is dedicated to the exchange of ideas and information between dancers from all over the world.
K.J. Holmes
Body-Mind Centering (BMC) (tm) is an eclectic and dynamic approach to somatic training and reeducation developed by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen. These classes will look at the application of BMC into dancing through investigations into body systems (skeletal, organ, muscle, nerve, fluid, cells) and repatterning (developmental/evolution) with an emphasis based on each of the students' individual interests and questions. We will learn basic anatomy and physiology, getting familiar with the interior of our bodies and ideas and find pathways to the exterior of space, time and place through improvisational scores that allows us to both witness and participate. ALL LEVELS OF EXPERIENCE WELCOME.
···K.J. Holmes, an independent dancer, singer, poet and bodywork, has been exploring improvisation as process and performance since 1981. She teaches and performs throughout the world and has been honored to collaborate with Simone Forti, Karen Nelson, Lisa Nelson and Steve Paxton, among others. K.J. is a 1999 graduate of The School for Body-Mind Centering and has a private practice in Dynamic Alignment and reintegration in Brooklyn, N.Y. where she lives. She is currently adjunct faculty at NYU/ETW, teaches regularly through Movement Research and is currently making a new dance based on the writings of Julie Carr.

Damien Jalet
The workshop will focus on the very physical and fluid dance material developped with Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. Exploring different qualities of movments, using intuition and personal background, each participant will be invited to devellop and transform some taught repertoire phrases and compose around certain physical concepts and imagery develloped in previous pieces (rien de rien, foi, d'avant , tempus fugit).
···Damien Jalet is french and belgian.
