Through this two-day event, students will go through the rigors of a professional style dance production in an active dance theater. Each group will be assigned to a morning technical time where they will work directly with our professional lighting designer and the theater’s own technical director. Dancers will learn the steps necessary for setting lights for the performance as well as stage directions from the technical staff while having an opportunity on stage to rehearse their work. They will become the “professional dancers,” learning all the elements of a professional performance experience.
The tech times will be followed by a dress rehearsal. During the dress rehearsal all dancers will have the opportunity to watch the other pieces being presented. Dancers will then break for dinner, returning for a warm-up class onstage. The day concludes with a formal performance showcase for an adjudication board, as well as peers, families and other audience members featuring some of the best of what the Northeast US has to offer in today’s youth dance scene. The adjudication will be a non-scoring evaluation designed for the self-development of all participants.
Following the performance, each group will receive confidential comments and critiques from our adjudicators. Directors and choreographers can choose if they would like to share these comments with their dancers or keep them for their own use.
