Contemporary
If I could tell you what it meant, there would be no point in dancing it. – Isadora Duncan
Classes offered
Contemporary at Off the Wall Dance Productions
The label of Contemporary is a very controversial subject as of late. Dance, being an art form that is interpretive in nature, should be open to endless input from all sources. In comparison to Ballet, a more structured and precise form, Contemporary or Modern dance is a freeing movement. Just as life is complex, dance, as an interpretation of life should be diverse. The study of Contemporary dance should include a complete study of the mechanics of muscle control to achieve the story of each choreographed piece. At OTWDP dancers will explore the Modern Dance techniques of Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham, and José Limón (to name a few) and their influence on the choreography of today.
Wikipedia
Contemporary dance is a genre of concert dance that employs systems and methods found in modern dance and postmodern dance. Contemporary dance draws on modern dance techniques as well as newer philosophies of movement that depart from classical dance techniques by altogether omitting structured form and movement.
