Stop 2: The Collective
I also attended a new workshop offered by Break the Floor Productions/JUMP. It was held at Century City, CA and was a contemporary focused workshop featuring classes with Stacey Tookey, Teddy Forance, Peter Chu, Dee Casparay, Benoit Swan Pouffer, Mark Meismer, Ray Leeper, Mandy Moore, Andrew Winghart, Denise Wall, Kenny Wormald and a mock agency audition.
This workshop was geared toward older dancers as there were late evening rehearsals and early morning starts. Dancers rated their preference of choreographers to be cast in their respective piece for the end of week video shoot premiere. I was cast in Mandy Moore's piece...her piece was lots of fun and she is hilarious! Video of the Collective can be found on facebook under Jump Dance Convention - The Collective. They have been posting live feeds so check the site often for a peek at the video!
All dancers also attended Peter Chu's "Chu This" performance at the El Portal Theatre. It was of a series of performances as part of Dee Casparay's "Nvitational" event. It was an amazing show and I left so inspired!
