Eiko & Koma Performance Project
F05
Dana Reitz
Eiko and Koma, internationally acclaimed choreographers and performers whose work has been dedicated to finding the connection of humans to landscape, will conduct intensive workshops (alternately and together), involving students in the making of a new work to be performed at the College and two other sites within the region. The team has developed ways of working in a variety of venues, indoor and outdoor; the visual and kinetic aspects of their work are finely interwoven. Students in other disciplines are encouraged to participate. Through guided sessions that will help develop movement vocabulary, each member of the ensemble will create movement material that will ultimately contribute to the whole presentation. Dana Reitz will coordinate the project and conduct additional rehearsals and class sessions.

This project, sponsored by the Dance USA National College Choreography Initiative, will take place during the first seven weeks of the term. Students are expected to work on material outside of class times.
