Manfred Fischbeck narrates and
performs live music to this energetic and engaging look at how modern
dance reflects everyday movements, emotions and activities. Students
will see how athletic activities such as shooting a basketball,
umpiring a baseball game and swimming laps can be interpreted through
dance. There's lots of interaction as students join the dancers on
stage for the "mirror dance" and a lesson in sculpting techniques. The
program concludes with an original piece choreographed by the dancers
and set to a story. The concluding piece will vary from school to
school as Group Motion is continuously building on its renowned
repertoire of innovative choreography.
