June 21-24, 2012 at the Utah Arts Festival
SALT LAKE CITY - After 47 years of building community through the creation, performance, and perpetuation of modern dance, Repertory Dance Theatre (RDT) is asking the community to help build a dance. The RDT dancers are creating choreography using movement phrases donated by the community.
RDT is inviting the community to become a partner in our creative process. Each day at the Utah Arts Festival, RDT will be filming willing participants performing 8 second movement phrases. This could be anything from a walk across the stage to eight consecutive pirouettes.
With the collection of these 8 second fragments, the RDT dancers will have a movement bank of material which they will explore, embellish, and de-construct to create a new movement language. This language will be developed into a new piece of choreography that will premiere on RDT's 47th season concert, EMBARK, October 4-6, 2012.
RDT invites you to contribute EIGHT SECONDS of movement.
WHEN: June 21-24, 2012, 1:00-2:00 pm
WHERE: Utah Arts Festival on the FESTIVAL STAGE
WHAT: Contribute movement of any sort: pedestrian actions, gestures, shapes, dance-moves....use your imagination
WHO: Anyone! Any age, any ability.
WHY: Help RDT dancers create a new movement language that will be developed into a new dance work featuring your "eight seconds" of inspired activity.
