The mainstage event Diavolo

Friday, January 23, 2009   8 pm More information about the show

Diavolo offer a movement-oriented professional development workshop geared to help the teacher take dance and kinesthetic learning into the classroom, bridging the gap between the arts and other school subjects. A professional development workshop, in conjunction with a school performance or an in-school workshop, can be a valuable aid to the teacher in understanding the upcoming performance. Handouts to help take dance and kinesthetic learning into the classroom will also be available.

Founded upon the principles of trust, teamwork, and collaboration using basic trust theater game exercises, this workshop takes dance off of the stage and into the classroom. By class end, children will work together to create a simple choreograph piece. As Diavolo Artistic Director Jacques Heim says, “building a team that allows for complete trust has been essential to creating a kind of work where dancers are inspired to leap, fly, and fall.” Discover the same magic in your classroom through this workshop. Depending on artists’ schedule, as many as three in-school workshops with Diavolo will be available.

Gymnasts, martial arts practitioners, and other athletic bodies are invited to challenge their physical and emotional limits. Diavolo’s approach combines athleticism with conditioning exercises that address body toning, injury prevention, partner stretching, and relaxation exercises. Open to high school students and older.
