I had the most incredible time at Moberly Arts and Cultural Centre last Friday with an energetic crowd of twenty Langara students, about to complete the Recreation Leadership Program. Within two hours, I was to be their insight into what a community dance artist needs and expects from a Programmer or recreational/community facility. After a sharing of thoughts, experiences and questions, we got down to the real business—some fun and dancing! We began with some cardio warm up to some hip hop tunes to get us in the mood…In no time, these brave participants (and Vince, their instructor) were flying across the room on hands and feet, improvising through different tasks and discovering new movement pathways. A bunch of games and dances later, we split off into smaller groups to create pieces of choreography to show each other. Turns out, these students are all choreographers in the making…
It was such an honour to be able to share some of my perspectives with this group. Many thanks to Cyndy Chwelos for inviting me in to meet, work and play with these bright individuals on route to successful and fulfilling careers.
