Modern Dance Technique II - COCO Festival - Performance

http://jorgeluismorejon.blogspot.com/2012/03/fragments-coco-dance-festival.html

This class has a performance component linked to a community event, a primary or secondary school program or an interdepartmental initiative. This particular event brought the Modern Dance Technique class to the COCO Festival. The students went through a process of auditioning for the directors of the festival in order to be included. They had to organize themselves around a common objective, collaborate in the choreography, select the music, rehearse outside of the class schedule to audition the piece and finally perform it. These are all important components of dance making and performance that they were able to accomplish and apply to an actual cultural event as a result of their participation in the class.
