9:00 AM - 10:00 AM
For ages 3 - 6
Much
of Pilobolus's creative work has emerged from a response to nature, and
this year's summer camp will take its inspiration from a close
observation of local flora and fauna. Ranging from the amazing
symmetries of leaf morphology, to the locomotion of insects and the
particular gaits of farm animals, the workshops will explore the
connection between natural phenomena and the development of choreography
that has so inspired Pilobolus's signature style.
The camp is meant
for kids entering Kindergarten through 6th grade of all levels of skill
and experience. Sessions will take place at the Washington Club Hall on
the Green in Washington Connecticut where Pilobolus develops its own
work, as well as in local natural areas such as Steep Rock Nature
Preserve.
All classes are based on the company's unique collaborative
creative process, though for younger children we emphasize the balance
of raw imagination with group cooperation and physical freedom with
self-control. For older students, the work more completely investigates
the process of composition and decision-making. Participants in these
workshops need no previous dance experience, but should come prepared to
move enthusiastically.
In all cases the program ends with an
informal public show and tell of a brand new work made by the dancers
themselves! Fee: $55.00, to enroll download the registration form and mail in or contact Emily Kent at ekent@pilobolus.org.
