Summer Workshop Behind The Performance Series -- Lecture/Demonstration

Without theatrical lighting or costumes, live excerpts from the Company’s repertory illustrate Doug Varone’s discussion about how work is created from idea to stage. The evening offers an initial glance into the history and development of this NYC-based modern dance company. Learn a few of the details about some of your favorite pieces of repertory from the company’s 25 years, while gaining an up close and personal look at Doug Varone’s dancemaking process. This Lec/Dem will take place on June 2nd at 12:30p.m. located at the Dance Theater Lab, Conservatory of Dance at Purchase College. Free admission, no reservations required.

The NYC based Doug Varone and Dancers returns to Purchase College from June 1-20 for their 16th annual Summer Workshop, with over 80 pre-professional and professional dancers joining us from around the world. As part of the workshop, the Company will offer a series of free informal performances in the Dance Theater Lab. All showings are free and open to the public, and no reservations are necessary. Purchase College is easily accessible from NYC via the Metro North Railroad. More information on this series can be found on our website at http://dougvaroneanddancers.org/calendar_perf.php.
