Sophomore Coaching & Performance Project

SBDNY Teaching Cohort
Philadelphia, PA
This section of Sophomore Performance and Coaching Project, taught in a cohort under the direction of Sidra Bell Dance New York and company artists, emphasizes immersive collaborative models in which the sophomores gain insight into professional working practices and is designed to help students recognize the tools and methodologies used in both dance creation and performance.
CONTEMPORARY SYSTEMS -an interior & material approach movement SBDNY™️ encourages provocative thought and an immersive approach to the subject matter of the body. The work demands a high degree of physicality and input from the dancers, encouraging them to execute movement with intention, curiosity, rigor, care and empathy.
