Since its inception in 2006, Naganuma Dance has won praise for the dynamic vision, innovative movement, and evocative visual imagery it brings to the stage. In August, the company performed for over 500 New Yorkers in a split-bill SUMMERSTAGE performance with Taylor II.In this workshop, dancers will join Ms. Naganuma as she generates new phrase material for the company’s spring premiere. 1-2 workshop students will be cast in this project.Class DescriptionFusing elements of release technique, ballet, street dance, martial arts, and Japanese dance, Naganuma’s students enjoy full- bodied movement that is at once aggressive, sensuous, virtuosic, and spirited. Approaching movement from a skeletal level, students are challenged to move with less tension and greater efficiency—without losing the dynamic bite that has become her trademark. Naganuma encourages a warm, friendly classroom community, where students feel comfortable taking risks and pushing themselves to their own outer limits. Her classroom is a place where solid technique and artistic invention exist in active interplay.Oct 12, 2010 - Oct 21, 2010; Tue, Thu10:00 AM - 11:30 AM
