FORM offers 2014 Choreographic Workshop

For the second year, FORM Dance Projects will present its Choreographic Workshop in partnership with Sydney Dance Company. The program will provide Year 9-12 Dance students with the unique opportunity to develop their choreographic skills under the guidance of industry professionals.

Led by Sydney Dance Company dancers, the practical workshop will introduce choreographic tools and tasks taken from the company’s most recent productions. Students will experience new ways to generate interesting movement material and will develop their confidence and creativity in composition.

The immersive one-day workshop will include a short demonstration performance by the company dancers and the chance to discuss composition and the choreographic practice with Sydney Dance Company’s Artistic Director Rafael Bonachela.

The Choreographic Workshop is particularly valuable for HSC dance students and students who would like to participate in Fast+Fresh Dance later in the year.

The workshop will be held twice – first on Tuesday, May 27 at 10 a.m. and again on Wednesday, May 28 at 10 a.m. – at Connect Studios and Rafferty’s Theatre, Riverside. Tickets are $25 per student. To register, head to www.form.org.au.
