Summer Intensive 

Practice and Performance Intensive for Emerging and Pre-Professional Dance Artists

Two-week intensive in Philadelphia with Leah Stein, Company Members and Guest Artist Faculty

This two–week intensive welcomes dance artists looking to immerse in creative process, practice, performance and practical skill building in the field today.

Grounded in the body, the voice, improvisational practice, and inquiry, participants begin the day with morning class. The afternoons offer an opportunity to engage in a collaborative process with Leah Stein that concludes with an informal studio performance. Evenings are for participants to generate activities reflective of their interests including conversations, showings of their own work, as well as special guest visits, attending performances, and master classes in a range of professional development offerings from Vocal Improv to Creating Financial Stability as an Artist.

 

Certificate and Post-Intensive Mentorship

All students who successfully complete the intensive will be a granted a certificate of completion and the assignment of a specially paired artist mentor who will continue to work with the student over the following months either in person or from a distance. The backbone of LSDC's Intensive is to not only immerse emerging artists in the creative process unique to the company, but to offer valuable resources to support their success as professionals in the complex performance world of today.
