Space, Shape, Time: A Merce Cunningham Dance Camp
June 15th - June 19th 
Levels I - IV (7 -12 year olds)
Step into a world of creativity, curiosity, and pure movement exploration! This contemporary camp introduces dancers to the innovative ideas of Merce Cunningham, a pioneer who reshaped modern dance through chance, space, and unexpected pathways. Throughout the week, dancers will experiment with Cunningham-inspired technique, precise footwork, and dynamic torso work while exploring how movement can stand on its own—separate from music, story, or expectation. Students will collaborate, improvise, and create phrases using chance methods that spark imagination and individuality. The week concludes with a unique Friday performance where dancers share their own original Cunningham-influenced choreography, celebrating fearless artistry and creative freedom.
