WINTER INTENSIVE
December 10 — 14, 2018
SFU Goldcorp Centre for the Arts (149 West Hastings Street, Vancouver)
The Winter Intensive will be led by Company 605’s co-directors, Lisa Gelley and Josh Martin, and special guest artist Alanna Kraaijeveld. Each day will be comprised of three parts: Technique Class, Repertoire, and a Creation Lab.
Technique Class will be led by Alanna Kraaijeveld (MTL), informed by her extensive experience as an improviser and Fighting Monkey practitioner. Lisa Gelley and Josh Martin will then teach Repertoire from Company 605’s past and current works, learning various excerpts and movement language from the company’s highly physical pieces. The Creation Lab will focus on investigating collaborative dance-making, with Company 605’s co-directors providing different concepts and starting points for explorations, and participants accessing their own choreographic interests and movement choices. Throughout the intensive, short collaborations will be attempted, where the group will practice and apply various approaches to shared process, experiencing negotiation and compromise, building a shared vocabulary, and forming a collective voice.

Technique with Alanna Kraaijeveld
Collaborative games and improvisatory tasks are employed to determine and stimulate those areas where mobility, coordination, and perception are limited or less integrated. Class is a dynamic practice that is physically and mentally rigorous.
Fighting Monkey movement situations will be offered, specifically FM practice ball work and principles of how lower body capacity influences kinetic potential. The proposed practice fosters strength, adaptability and softness.
