SCDT and freeskewl present:TEEN CONTEMPORARY TECHNIQUES (ages 13+)Tuesdays, 5-6pm Eastern Time SPRING SESSION: March 29th-June 13thThis registration is for the 10 week Spring Session from March 29-June 13, 2021. The first five weeks will be with Nattie Trogdon and Hollis Bartlett, and the second five weeks will be with Sofia Engelman and Em Papineau. Reminder there will be no class during Spring Break April 19-25. FIRST HALF with Nattie Trogdon and Hollis Bartlett:Together we will practice. We will practice being our whole selves - practice moving into and through and with ourselves. We will practice feeling, questioning, writing, reading, (maybe) screaming and listening. Yes we will dance, we will sweat, shake and try out some old moves and some new moves. There will be technical exercises, improvisation scores, a little bit of anatomy, and maybe phrasework. We will at times rest and speak our thoughts about dance but also about our world and our lives and what we’re struggling with and where we find joy. But mostly we’re just gonna let go of any judgments we have or fears we face and be in our spaces - in our zoom spaces and home spaces and our together apart spaces - and we’re gonna practice together.​Hollis and Nattie are makers, performers, teachers, and partners. Their collaborative practice stems from a fascination with the form and function of the body – researching both the anatomical and fantastical. Currently residing in Brooklyn, their work has been presented at venues across New York and New England. As educators they co-facilitate open classes and workshops throughout the city and at various universities. Hollis has danced with Doug Varone since 2011 and Nattie is a freelance artist having performed most recently with Doug Varone, Keith Johnson, David Dorfman, and Peter DiMuro. They are graduates of NYU Tisch and SUNY Purchase respectively, receiving their BFAs in dance performance.SECOND HALF with Sofia Engelman &amp; Em PapineauLet's dance together on Zoom! We will warm ourselves and practice full, unapologetic embodiment through the practice of phrase work, improvisation, and follow-along exercises. Prepare to sweat, stretch, and listen to some good tunes.Sofia Engelman + Em Papineau are dance and life partners living on the homelands of the Canarsie and Munsee Lenape (Brooklyn, NY). They are two of the initiators of freeskewl and are both on staff at Contact Quarterly and SCDT. The duo have presented work at festivals including FRESH Festival, EstroGenius Festival, AS220's Providence Movement Festival, and Dancing Queerly Boston; music/DIY venues such as 10 Forward and Flywheel; and other spaces they love dearly including Judson Church, Green Street Studios, Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, SCDT, The Dance Complex, Ponderosa, and Smith College. As teens, they both had incredible dance teachers who cracked their worlds wide open and inspired them to keep dancing.For more programming through SCDT, please visit <a href="https://www.scdtnoho.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.scdtnoho.com</a>.For more programming through freeskewl, please visit <a href="https://www.freeskewl.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.freeskewl.com.</a>
