Brooklyn Arts Exchange Student Performances

Dance Performance Workshop II

Friday May 13, 8:00 pm

Year-end concert will feature Unspoken and Losing Necessity. Both works investigate techniques of generating raw ‘source material’ from personal gesture and writing to craft pieces that deal with individuality, loss and personal discovery. Choreography by students will also be presented.

Dance Performance Workshop I

Saturday May 14, 8:00pm

Collaborative dance piece Flight is woven from the images and concepts that arose from rich discussions and improvisations exploring the various interpretations of the word flight.

Theater Performance Workshop

Friday and Saturday May 20-21, 8:00pm

This year, director Jose Joaquin Garcia used the poetry of Carl Sandburg, Walt Whitman, Langston Hughes, and Robert Creely as a spring board for voice work. This year end performance will incoporate the breadth of theater they have been exploring within the theme of conflict resolution.

Dance Performance Workshop III

Friday and Saturday June 3-4

Will present original works by student choreographers as well as a new work, Wind, by guest choreographer Mollie O’Brien. Wind creates a lush emotional and physical landscape through O’Brien’s rich and diverse movement language. Students will also perform Some of My Best Friends are Dancers.
Exploring the more theatrical side of the group, this hilarious work examines personal shortcomings and pokes fun at our desire to focus on inadequacies over triumphs.
