Dance Repertory as Shared Knowledge:
The Individual and The Community
Sundays: November 8, 2020, January 10, 2021, March 14, 2021
11am - 12:30pm USA Eastern Time
All sessions on Zoom
After a moving and stimulating pilot version in the summer of 2020, the Dance Repertory as Shared Knowledge mini-course returns with a new edition for the 20-21 season entitled, "The Individual and The Community." Our treasured trio—Carolyn Adams, Mary Anne Santos Newhall, and Julie Adams Strandberg—will again lead participants through the viewing and investigation of iconic dances. Studying five 20th century works, the mini-course will examine how choreographers integrate text, music and the visual arts into their work; how dance can help to build, demonstrate, and sustain community in myriad ways including the relationship between vernacular dance and concert dance; and how choreography has been crafted to represent the individual in the city. The underlying theme across the three sessions will be: finding common ground in a time of great change.

an all-day celebration and investigation of Battleworks Etude, choreographed by Robert Battle, arranged by Erika Pujič
Master Class with Erika Pujič
11:00am - 12:00pm
Erika Pujič is a nationally recognized master teacher who has been staging Robert Battle's choreography for over twenty years. While students at Juilliard, Erika and Robert began collaborating and Erika helped Robert realize his choreographic voice. While Robert's own organic way of moving is lyrical and lush, he found the Erika's compact, feisty, intense style fascinating. Erika's hard-hitting, percussive attack became a defining feature of Robert's choreographic style.

learn excerpts of Robert Battle's choreography
Lecture Demonstration
2:00pm
presentations and performances of "Battleworks Etude" by a range of populations: members of the Dancing Legacy Ensemble, students from Brown University and Central Falls High School, members of the DAPpers (the Dance for All People program for people of all ages and all abilities), and participants from the Battleworks Etude Workshop for Dormant Dancers
