Each day students spend an hour on technique, an hour on composition and improvisation and two hours rehearsing for a final, fully produced dance performance. The first two weeks of the workshop take place in the beautiful Betty Toman Dance Studios at Iowa State University's Forker Building. The third week is spent in the Ames City Auditorium. The students learn more about dance technique as well as gaining strength, flexibility, coordination and control. Balls, planets, the circle of life, spheres of influence are among the ideas that will in inspire the performance this year.
Spheres is about round objects and round thinking.
The Kids' Co'Motion workshop teaches more than dances to students. Kids' Co'Motion builds choreographers, helps students gain confidence in their own ideas and teaches them to organize those ideas and structure them into dance. Students not only study with master choreographers and teachers, but compose dances by themselves and with other students, taking advantage of everyone's ideas. This year's Kids' Co'Motion workshop is July 9-28, 2001. Spheres is about round objects and round thinking.
