Education Programs
Artistic Director Olivia Davis will give a core group of 12 Neighborhood Studios teen apprentices the leadership-building opportunity to be mentors for younger members of the 55-children summer program that culminates in an original production based on a children’s book. The Neighborhood Studios apprentices will be immersed in their own age-appropriate and level-appropriate studio work in dance, but also be part of a team that helps guide younger children in the development, rehearsal and production of an original full-length children’s ballet which will include a discovery of Hartford. Apprentices will learn choreographic principles, processes and structures, apply analytical and evaluative thinking skills, explore dance in various cultures and eras, and make connections between dance, other artistic disciplines, and daily life. A presentation of the children’s ballet will take place at the end of week five and a performance by the Neighborhood Studios older teens will be showcased at the end of week six. The Apprentice Application is available here as well as on the Greater Hartford Arts Council's website: www.letsgoarts.org Instruments of Culture is a six-week summer dance intensive beginning June 27 through August 5, 2011, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The student performance will take place on Thursday, July 28 at 6 p.m. The Apprentice Showcase will be on Thursday, August 4, also at 6.
