October 7th Dance of the Month: Millicent Hodson and Nijinsky’s JEUX
Where: Mark Morris Dance Center, 3 Lafayette in Brooklyn
When: Part I, 3:30-4:30 Power Point Lecture on dance and design elements of Jeuxby Kenneth Archer, followed by cultural context of Jeux by Millicent Hodson.
Part II, 4:45-6:30
in STUDIO B, Practical class learning choreography re-imagined by Hodson
DESCRIPTION: Nijinsky’s 1913 ballet, Jeux, depicts athletic and amorous games under threat by premonitions of World War I and it is a ballet of manners that, not unlike its Baroque predecessors, reveals social mores through codified gestures. After working with Hodson at the NYBDC summer workshop, Turocy feels experiencing Hodson’s approach to reconstruction could be a revelation to students of Baroque dance which is why Hodson has been invited to October’s Dance of the Month.
Participants can attend both the Power Point Presentation and the Class where they will be dancing Jeux excerpts or choose to do one or the other. Participants from Part I will be able to watch Part II if they do not wish to dance.
Must Pre- Register for Class: Please email cturocy@gmail.com to register for the class.
The class size is limited to 30 students and is filling up fast..
Tuition is a flat rate of $30 whether you take one or both classes. Instructions on payment will be given after you have registered.
Please call Catherine Turocy at 214-563-8978 if you have any questions.
