BURLINGTON, ON

School for the students starts September 7th – for those who want to expand their dance experience there is a class starting Monday, August 22, 10:00am through to Friday, August 26, 4:00pm

This is a one‐week contemporary dance and movement intensive for dance artists to explore training, performance, dynamic movement and choreography.

The week will conclude with an informal in‐studio performance. This 5 day intensive is intended for emerging professional dancers, professional dancers, and dance students who are interested in contemporary dance and Form CDT.

They ask that dancers be at least 14 years or older and have had a minimum of 3 years technical dance training. The day will begin with a morning contemporary technique class and lead into improvisation, exploring dynamic stage presence and exciting physicality. The afternoons will be spent exploring and learning a new collaborative choreography created by Form CDT artists.

Participants that commit to the full week will be given priority. Space for enrollment is limited in order to offer the best experience.

To register please email info@formcdt.ca with your your name, age, contact information, a very short statement of interest (150‐500 words), fun video link (youtube, vimeo, etc.) or photo (be creative). We will get back to you quickly!

A little bit about Form:
Form CDT is a Hamilton/Burlington/Toronto based collective founded in February 2014. Their aim is to excite curiosity in their audiences. The goal is to have each audience member contemplating their work long after the performance. They seek to expose hidden truths (our fears, our weaknesses, and our happiness, etc.) within the work they create. In order to expose the truth of ourselves they encourage and value vulnerability as a key aspect of our creation process. As Gary Smith from the Hamilton Spectator said when writing about Form: “Think cutting‐edge…It challenges notions of what dance ought to be.” We would love for you to join us in an exploration of movement and truths.
