Summer Intensive 2005:
Come join Julie Rothschild, Ray Eliot Schwartz, and members of the Zen Monkey Project for a unique approach to intensive dance training. Since its inception in 1995, the Zen Monkey Project has been consistently exploring the boundaries of somatic movement education and contemporary dance forms. Our style is rigorous, experimental, and alive. Investigating the body, developing dynamic presence, and supporting curiosity are hallmarks of our distinctive synthesis. 

Our practice draws from a variety of methods and approaches for questioning the body and embodying questions. Our curriculum melds these influences into creative work. As contemporary movement artists we combine a reverence for tradition with respect for the individual’s voice. As educators we support the student's current process while presenting them tools for enriching their potential. This intensive invites you to investigate and embody your own working process, learn with a diverse group of artists, and share your experience with others.


Overview of Scheduling:

We will open the intensive in Studio 11 at McGuffey Arts Center at 9am on Sunday June 19th. Class will run till 5:30 p.m. every day with evenings devoted to optional rehearsals and other special events (including an all night Authentic Movement practice).  Sunday the 26th will be a day off.  Monday the 27th will be dedicated to investigating the interface of art and nature in and along meadows, rivers, and forests at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The workshop will end at noon on Saturday the 2nd.
