DELving Mini-Workshop: Merce Cunningham & Blondell Cummings
This interactive movement workshop explores the work of modern dance choreographers Merce Cunningham and Blondell Cummings. Both Cunningham and Cummings engaged in ground-breaking choreography methods: Cunningham used the abstract concept of “chance” in his choreography and Cummings’ work centered around personal narrative drawing inspiration from “everyday movement.”
Led by Dance Education Laboratory (DEL) Facilitators Ann Biddle and Felice Santorelli, participants will:
– Explore the significant contributions of both Cunningham and Cummings
– Connect the creative process of these artists to dance-making, dance history, and dance education
– Engage in collaborative dance making and embodied research
Open to dancers and dance educators of all levels, ages 16+.
