Members of the Teen Exchange have begun developing choreography for their second Teen choreographed piece of this year's end-of-the year performance.

 

In this gallery Molly Barth leads her peers through choreography she created for a piece about Beauty, which is being directed by Teen Exchange co-captain Talia Mason. Also, the group rehearses work made in a previous workshop wherein each teen has shared their own choreographic contribution to the larger piece.

Images in this gallery are from the creative convening workshop hosted by the Teen Exchange on Saturday December 11, 2010. 

Lead artist Wayles Haynes and I worked together to organize an all day workshop with the Teen X-change, at the Dance Exchange studio in Takoma Park.  Teens participated in art making, editing/shooting video for their TX website, dance improvisation and composition work and we worked together on designing and brainstorming plans for some of the collaborative garments that I have begun to explore in my Creative Project for MACA.

 

Please view the Teen Exchange's Tumblr for more images and updates.

Tool training with Dance Exchange (DX) Company member Shula Strassfeld. She spent two hours working with Anne  Kotleba and I working through DX Tool Box activities. She focused on one called “Detail: a tool which focuses on drawing movement ideas from concrete physical evidence by observing the immediate environment and by conjuring details of a scene from memory and imagination. Rather than a fixed procedure, Detail is a set of practices for observing, imagining, discerning, and organizing information that can be a rich source for movement.”
Shula led us through a series on movement improvs and visualizations to create solo material and material that we fused together. I really enjoyed dancing with Anne! As we have begun to co-facilitate at Dr. Rayner Browne we are developing and sharing some great activities together and this training strengthened this relationship for sure!!
