The first jam session of 2010!

Our constellation of dance plays - For the Love Of... - just closed and now we are back and ready to being Jam Sessions again!

In 2010 we'll be trying something new.

First, we're meeting on Monday nights in Spring of 2010.  We found that weekend days weren't always the best solution for scheduling jam sessions.  So we're going to try a weeknight format.  With that in mind, we're going to shorten the schedule.

7-7:30PM  OPEN STUDIO SPACE
We hope that our fellow artists and colleagues will take advantage of this time to do additional self-directed warm-ups or to work on a specific project and exploration.  The idea is to create a bunch of "mini-studios" inside the rehearsal space during this half-hour where artists and practitioners can work on their own or have extra time to transition into the jam session.

7:30-9:30PM  JAM SESSION
These sessions are based in movement and physical exploration and we also venture into voice and song.  They are generally led by Artistic Director Melissa F. Moschitto.  Other company members and/or artists may be invited to lead exercises or full sessions.

The first jam of 2010 will be on Monday, March 15 from 7-9:30PM.  Please RSVP so we know to expect you.  We respectfully ask for a donation of $5 to help cover space costs, but no one will be turned away.

For those who will be returning to jam sessions, we're curious to know what you'd like to work on.  Character development?  Gestural choreography?  Group song?  Improvisational techniques?  Let us know in the comments section!
