Young Dance 2024 Annual Report (PDF) Text Only Version of 2024 Annual ReportDance & Photography Starts March 5
Experience the intersection of dance and photography! This class will explore the many shared principles of dance and visual art, like composition, texture, motion, emotion, perspective, repetition, shape, and more. Participants will engage in group photo walks—indoors or outdoors, depending on daylight and weather conditions—to learn photography fundamentals. These sessions will be followed by creating movement scores, allowing participants to apply these newly acquired skills to dance-making. A digital device with photography capabilities is recommended but not required. If possible, a digital camera is preferred instead of a cell phone if the dancer can access one.
Mini-Session March 5–May 11, plus an extra opportunity to perform in the Spring Performances.
