Historical Dance Summer Workshop June 20-23, Mystic Fountain

May 2, 2019 by cturocy

Catherine Gallant

A few words from the director of the workshop, Catherine Turocy…

Livia Vanaver worked directly with Jane Sherman, the youngest dancer in the Denishawn tour of the Orient in 1925-26. Jane was so impressed with Livia and her company that she taught Livia White Jade, a solo of Ruth St. Denis.  We are so fortunate to have Livia teaching White Jadeand directly relaying inspiration from the legacy of Ruth St. Denis to our students.

Catherine Gallant has dedicated her teaching and performing career to the dances of Isadora Duncan. She will share her profound experience with Duncan choreographies and emphasize their musicality. She will also share her process of modern dance reconstruction. Here is a link to the choreography we will be learning:

Joe Williams has studied the movement theory of Delsarte and has practiced this theory as a teacher, performer and stage director. I have studied with him and found his keen eye to be uncanny in analyzing movement and guiding the student to a fuller expression of a pose or gesture. Delsarte is at the basis of early 20th century modern expression and is an important area of study.

Caroline Copeland and I will be teaching Pre-Delsarte expressive gesture and posture from 17th and 18thcentury masters in dance and in the art of declamation.  My choreography, inspired by Marie Sallé’s creation and performance of La Gelosia to music of Handel, will act as a template for our period dance expression exploration.
