#Workshop Types

ADC provides a range of workshops to teachers and students in the areas of technique, choreography, improvisation, repertoire, contact duo work and dance on film.

Contemporary Technique /

Contemporary Technique workshops give your students an opportunity to focus on their alignment, strength and dynamic control, as well as safe floor work and spinal articulation.

Contemporary Repertoire /

Contemporary Repertoire workshops provide students with the opportunity to learn a short piece of choreography from either ADC’s established repertoire or from repertoire currently in development.

Choreography /

Choreography workshops ensure students are taught multiple choreographic methods and skills in order to create their own contemporary dance works.

Contact and Duo /

Contact and duo workshops introduce students to contact improvisation and working collaboratively in pairs. These workshops provide students with the necessary skills to practice and perform contemporary dance in a safe and professional learning environment. These workshops require two ADC teaching artists.

Improvisation /

Improvisation workshops give students tools to improvise in movement and think creatively on the spot.

Dance on Film /

Dance on Film workshops focus on the process of creating dance for film. From storyboarding to editing, students will be introduced to foundational concepts, learn how production elements can be used to enhance meaning, and encouraged to explore the possibilities and their creativity when choreographing for film.
It is suggested that students have access to an iPad and iMovie, or a similar video editing app, for this workshop.
