MONTCLAIR, NJ: CONCRETE, a 3-week immersive theatre summer intensive
Company:
Stefanie Batten Bland
Founded by choreographer Stefanie Batten Bland, CONCRETE is a three-week intensive that explores the hyphenated dance genre of physical theatre and how these techniques function inside kinesthetic awareness in immersive theatre settings.
Rigorous and artistically invigorating, the intensive facilitates career development and connects professional and pre-professional dance artists to current directors and dance-makers in the US and international physical and immersive theatre scenes.
CONCRETE is designed for professionals and college students 18 years and older. It includes exposure to clowning, partnering, ensemble-devising, voice in movement, material/prop approaches, performer perception in physical space, and interrogating the cultural biases housed inside proximity-based performance. The intensive will culminate in an immersive production.
The faculty includes artistic director Stefanie Batten Bland, directors Leslie Kraus and Dan Safer, and teaching artists Jamal Abrams, Heather Benton, Raphaël Kaney Duverger, Kayla Farrish, Peter Flynn, Jordan Morley, David Parker,Guillaume Segouin, Kelly Ashton Todd, Joy-Marie Thompson, Amadi ‘Baye’ Washington and Sam ‘Asa’ Pratt, and Isadora Wolfe.
All classes and activities will take place at Montclair State University in New Jersey. Housing, meal plans, and college credit are available. Tuition includes tickets to see two theatrical experiences from Emursive Productions. For details and admission process information, visit www.concreteimmersive.org.
