Among the Artist Development Fellowship recipients this year are two student dancers and one recent graduate: James Fuller ‘10, Julia Lindpaintner ‘09-’10, and Lauren Chin ‘08-’09. We’ll post a longer report on their activities at the end of the summer, so consider this a preview:
Lauren Chin ‘08-’09 is headed to two dance festivals this summer. In June, she’ll attend Springboard Danse Montreal, a three-week opportunity to collaborate with emerging choreographers and professional dance companies, culminating in a workshop performance. In July, she’s off to DanzFest in Cattolica, Italy, founded by Christine Dakin, former Radcliffe Fellow and Artistic Director Laureate of the Martha Graham Dance Company, as a professional-level intensive workshop in Graham technique and repertory, Paris Opera Ballet technique and repertory, Butoh, and Gyrokinesis.
Julia Lindpaintner ‘09-’10 will study the techniques of three different choreographers at their respective schools in New York City: José Limón, Paul Taylor, and Mark Morris.
James Fuller ‘10 will train at American Dance Festival in Durham, NC, which will involve attending six weeks of dance classes, as well as watching performances by over 16 dance companies in residence.
Check back in August for their reflections on these experiences.
