Duke Dance Program

Open auditions for the Dance Program's Modern Dance Repertory. (Dance 412) Former Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company member, Shayla-Vie Jenkins, will re-stage "Power/Full," the rigorous and thought-provoking choreography of MacArthur winner and world-renown choreographer, Bill T. Jones. After auditions during the first week of classes, the semester will begin with a 10-day intense rehearsal period with Ms. Jenkins. Duke Dance Program faculty, Andrea E. Woods Valdés (also a former Jones/Zane Company member), will continue to rehearse the work during the regularly scheduled Modern Repertory course time (Tu/Thurs @ 6:15-7:45 PM in the Ark). Woods Valdés will act as rehearsal director for "Power/Full" until the November Dances concert in Reynolds Theater. Classes will include video viewing and discussion of other seminal Jones/Zane works. This will be a unique and valuable experience offering a personal connection to the work and Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company creative process.

Final performances: November Dances, 11/18 and 11/19.
