2010 Summer Intensive

FROM LIZ: FWDC welcomes Vicki Millar to facilitate this year’s Summer Intensive Week July 26-30. I’ve known Vicki for many years and I am so excited she will be here to share her vast knowledge of dance. The week’s focus is to share a variety of ways to teach movement and rhythms to people with disabilities but in addition her love for choreography will be shared in evening classes. We hope that local dancers will take advantage of this great opportunity!
Class Description
Shedding Light: New ideas on teaching people with disabilities
This dance workshop will explore levels of cognitive development;, modality based learning, teaching approaches, and lesson plans for special populations.
Choreography: Seeing Through New Eyes—A different Perspective
Many choreographic ideas are hidden in plain view. These workshops will draw attention to our environment and life occurrences that often escape our awareness, and shape these into improvisational events and compositional works. Participants should keep a “dream” journal several weeks prior to the workshop and bring with them to class (Class meets Monday through Thursday night with an optional informal showing on Friday night at 6:00 p.m.)
