Through improvisational prompts and exercises we will discover each others rhythms and intrinsic patterns while working on breaking our predictability. Contemporary by Bita Bell Class will explore relationships and space, focusing on releasing tension through bartenieff exercises and connecting with gravity. While developing momentum through space, class will investigate choreographic ideas and performance artistry. Repertory by DanceTheYard DTY’s directors have created an emerging body of work and a collective of professional artists who are committed to seeing the work presented in the local and national dance arena. Class will start with a short warm-up, followed by DTY dancers teaching company repertory. Afro Modern by Mojuba! Dance Collective Concepts in class will focus on the fusion of movement from the African Diaspora blended with modern and contemporary elements. Youth Master Classes Yoga by Elyse Morckel Yoga builds strength, stamina, and flexibility. Classes will incorporate Vinyasa (flowing movement sequences) with slow, sustained stretches, refinement of alignment in held poses, as well as breath awareness and mental focus. In short, it is a practice of moving meditation, which brings more clarity and peace. Yoga has been defined as ‘Awareness in Action’. We are reminded to listen to our bodies and enjoy the evolution of becoming fully present in the here and now. Contemporary by DanceTheYard Class will begin with a guided improvisation and transition to a formal warm-up that refines and defines the movement language used throughout the remainder of the class. Class will culminate in a group combination that challenges bodies and leaves space for the dancers own creativity. Song & Dance: An experimental movement improvisation by Bone & Fiddle Dance Collective Inspiration for movement derives from a variety of artist modalities, through the art of dance, these inspirations can be abstracted and morphed into new choreographic compositions. This experimental movement improvisation is based on participants vocalizations, favorite song lyrics, and expressive poetry. Class structure will include a full body and vocal warm ups. Improvisations will be directed by Mrs. Logan based on participants lyric choices, and playing with classic choreographic structures. Popping by Samuel McIntosh The street style Popping, is an umbrella term for many styles such as Animation, Tutting, Waving, Dimestops, etc. In this class dancers will touch on the many styles and how basic Popping foundation is used within them all. -- *Elyse Morckel* The Movement Project Company Member 330.962.9547

Berko review: THIS MUCH @ convergence-continuum
by Roy Berko 29 Oct '18

29 Oct '18

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule Judgment: “This Much” is a rather shallow script, which gets an acceptable production at con-con, is filled with forced dialogue and contains little about the true life of gay dating and marriage, and why we should care about these particular characters.* *To read the entire review go to: **www.royberko.info* <http://www.royberko.info>*. ** To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: **www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com* <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

Review of "Everything is Okay" at Cleveland Public Theatre
by Bob Abelman 28 Oct '18

28 Oct '18

Zeitgeist comedy ‘Everything is Okay’ gets world premiere at CPT Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, American Theatre Critics Association If the final episode of the NBC sitcom “Friends” was situated in a bar rather than Central Perk coffee house, revolved around Chandler’s funeral rather than some minor misunderstanding, and was set to music, you’d have “Everything is Okay (and other helpful lies).” This original though fundamentally formulaic work, written and composed by Melissa Crum and Caitlin Lewins, is receiving its world premiere production at Cleveland Public Theatre after being workshopped at CPT’s Test Flight and previewed at its Entry Point new play festival.
