Hearing What's In the Music For advanced ballet students and junior company members age 14-21 Monday, July 31 – Saturday, August 12, 2017 Enhance your current ballet training and explore music and the choreographic process to move Beyond Technique this summer! This unparalleled two-week summer dance intensive will be held at the internationally-renowned Peabody Conservatory. The program is designed for motivated, soundly-trained classical ballet students, company apprentices, and junior company members age 14-21 who are responsive to other dance forms and arts disciplines and inspired by the opportunity to apply their dance training in an enriching, exploratory setting. Morning technique classes, taught by an esteemed guest faculty, will concentrate on ballet, pointe, men’s class, partnering, and modern dance. The afternoon workshops will include: learning existing ballet and modern dance repertory; music for dancers; improvisation/composition; and finally, the setting of an original ballet on the Beyond Technique dancers by the gifted young choreographer Durante Verzola. Applications Students must apply for acceptance; applications will be available from the Peabody Dance office starting on March 1, 2017. Interested students will also be required to submit two photos (first arabesque and tendu croisé devant) and one letter of recommendation from a current teacher or artistic director. Those accepted from the pool of Beyond Technique applicants will be asked to complete an audition in person at Peabody’s dance studios, or, if necessary, to submit a video audition. Tuition, Room & Board Housing will be available on Peabody Conservatory’s secure campus with supervision provided by Resident Assistants.
