“Composing//Sensing the Stage Space”
Free workshops with Donna Jewell and UNM ARTSLab
Saturday, April 26 at 10am at UNM ARTSLab

Donna Jewell will lead participants through exercises exploring how the stage space can be used to create dynamic dance works. Professional dancers will demonstrate improvisational prompts, and attendees will have the opportunity to create their own improvisational scores.

ARTSLab Director Stewart Skylar Copeland and graduate researcher Sarah Bennett-Davidson will demonstrate innovative technology used at the NM Dance Hackathon. Participants will learn how to access and utilize real-time data for live collaborations with dancers and explore the potential for future dance and technology projects.

This event is free and open to the public. New Mexico Dance Hackathon is sponsored by UNM ARTSLab. This project is supported in part by New Mexico Arts, a division of the Department of Cultural Affairs, and by the National Endowment for the Arts.

Risky Moves is the Spring Student Choreography Concert featuring new dance works by UNM students. The Student Choreography Concert provides emerging choreographers a chance to put their training to the test and experience the vulnerable and empowering process of sharing their work with the public. Students also develop various skills involved in producing dance performance, including leading a rehearsal process, working with lighting designers, writing about their creative work, and participating in marketing.
