ADT SUMMER INTENSIVE 2011
Australian Dance Theatre is holding its first ever Summer Intensive dance school from January 17 – 21, 2011. Designed for students interested in gaining an insight into the workings of a professional contemporary dance company it is also great way to improve dancing technique for those contemplating further study in dance at secondary or tertiary levels.
Based on the working week of an ADT dancer, students will be taught daily class, skill development and repertoire sections from Garry Stewart’s famed productions Birdbrain and G. Each day will begin with a warm up, followed by two technique classes of either contemporary, ballet or tumbling. After lunch (provided by ADT) students move on to conditioning, creative composition, or discussions about how to take care of your body as a professional dancer. At the end of the week there will be an open rehearsal for family and friends to see the culmination of all the new skills in action. The week will be led by ex ADT dancers Shannon Anderson and Chris Aubrey.
Megan Futcher, a highly acclaimed performer who has spent many years with the Royal New Zealand Ballet, West Australian Ballet, and Expressions Dance Company, will teach ballet technique. She will be sharing her wealth of experience in this technique, as well as the art of partnering and some of her own repertoire.
Additional guests throughout the week include ADT’s physiotherapist Michael Heynen who will discuss nutrition, injury prevention and management as a professional. Lina Limosani will take a class on choreography and composition as one of Adelaide’s pre-eminent independent choreographers and performers. She will also be on hand to talk about the independent dance scene internationally and life as an independent performer.
Book early as numbers are strictly limited. There is the opportunity for students to attend single day and casual classes, but only after the full course applicants have been processed.
