<h2><strong>Upcoming Workshops</strong></p>
<p><strong>Dance Workshop with Deborah Whelan</strong></h2>
<div>
Circle Modern Dance presents a weekend workshop with Deborah Whelan March 16 and 17. Deborah’s teaching, performing and choreographic experience spans 4 decades.  She has taught and designed dance curriculums across the east coast at universities including Penn State,  Meredith College and the University of Tennessee.<br />
Deborah is currently directing the dance program at Beaumont Magnet Honors Academy and the childrens dance company Beaumont Dance Works.  The recipient of many awards and accolades, her teaching philosophy is shaped by years of study with Bill Evans, Ann Green Gilbert, Liz Lerman, and Naima Prevots.</p>
<p>Deborah will be exploring the question of what an intimate life is through the use of improvisation, Bartinieff based technique, choreography and journaling.</p>
</div>
<div>Questioning, responding, observing and reflecting on our intimate lives through dance as movers and human beings, how do we respond to the big questions of an intimate life? Such as:</div>
<div>What does co-dependence look like? Why do we need to be still? How do we build bridges to get where we want to go? How do we keep ourselves from falling? How do we protect others?</p>
</div>
<div>All this will be explored through the practice of a Bartenieff Fundamentals driven technique, with improvisation and choreography centered on questioning, responding, observing and reflecting. In our choreography, how can we embrace the beauty and satisfaction of repetition and theme and variation?</div>
<div>
There will be some journaling, so notebooks are recommended.</p>
</div>
<div><strong>Fees (You can reserve your spot via Paypal on our website)</strong><br />
Workshop fee, pre-registration: $40 on site $50<br />
Single class fee, pre-registration $25, on site $30</div>
<h2>Joy Davis Countertechnique Workshop</h2>
<div>Former CMD Artistic Director, Joy Davis, will be leading a dance workshop at UT-Knoxville on March 8th through the 10th at the Alumni Memorial Building Dance Studio.</p>
</div>
<div>The Countertechnique® class is a contemporary dance technique class. It stretches, coordinates and strengthens the body, making the dancer sweat, build stamina and really move. The class starts with a recurring set of exercises, allowing dancers to investigate the Countertechnique® principles in detail. The second half of the class consists of changing components, working towards luscious movement combinations and jumping at the end. The Countertechnique® class results in dancers using less energy, losing their fear of taking risks and gaining speed in changing direction.</div>
<div>
*Classes are structured for advanced dancers with experience in contemporary/modern technique and/or ballet.*</p>
<p>For more information on the workshop, class times, and pricing please contact Joy Davis at <strong><a href="mailto:joydmoves@gmail.com" target="_blank" data-cke-saved-href="mailto:joydmoves@gmail.com">joydmoves@gmail.com</a></strong></div>
<h2>Save the Date</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>Circle Modern Dance will be performing again this year at The Knoxville Opera&#8217;s Rossini Festival and International Street Fair on April 27th.  Once again we will be showcasing works on the Market Square Stage, 7:30-8:15pm!</div>

<p>Upcoming Workshops</p>
<div><strong>Dance Workshop with Deborah Whelan</strong><br />
In March, Circle Modern Dance will host a weekend workshop with local dance education Deborah Whelan.  Deborah has been the director of Beaumont Elementary&#8217;s dance program for over 20 years.  Many dancers may be familiar with her technique classes she has offered over the years in Knoxville.  The receipiant of many awards and accololades, Deborah&#8217;s teaching philiosophy is shaped by years of study with Bill Evans, Ann Green Gilbert, Liz Lerman, and Naima Prevots. Whether you are new to dance or have studied for many years, this workshop has material for everyone!</div>
<div>Dance Workshop with Deborah WhelanMarch 16 and 17, 2013</div>
<div><em id="__mceDel"><br />
</em>Sat. 16th 2-4:30pm and Sun. 17th 2-4:30pm</p>
<p>At the Emporium Building Annex Dance Studio, 100 S. Gay Street</p>
<p>Title:<strong> Questioning, responding, observing and reflecting on our intimate lives through dance</strong></p>
<p>As movers and human beings, how do we respond to the big questions of an intimate life? Such as:</p>
<p>What does co-dependence look like?</p>
<p>Why do we need to be still?</p>
<p>How do we build bridges to get where we want to go?</p>
<p>How do we keep ourselves from falling? How do we protect others?</p>
<p>All this will be explored through the practice of a Bartenieff Fundamentals driven technique, with improvisation and choreography centered on questioning, responding, observing and reflecting. In our choreography, how can we embrace the beauty and satisfaction of repetition and theme and variation?</p>
<p>There will be some journaling, so notebooks are recommended.</p>
<p><strong>Fees</strong><br />
Workshop fee, pre-registration: $40 on site $50</p>
<p>Single class fee, pre-registration $25, on site $30</p></div>
</div>
<p><strong>Joy Davis Countertechnique Workshop</strong></p>
<p>Former CMD Artistic Director, Joy Davis, will be leading a dance workshop at UT-Knoxville on March 8th through the 10th at the Alumni Memorial Building Dance Studio.</p>
<div>The Countertechnique® class is a contemporary dance technique class. It stretches, coordinates and strengthens the body, making the dancer sweat, build stamina and really move. The class starts with a recurring set of exercises, allowing dancers to investigate the Countertechnique® principles in detail. The second half of the class consists of changing components, working towards luscious movement combinations and jumping at the end. The Countertechnique® class results in dancers using less energy, losing their fear of taking risks and gaining speed in changing direction.</div>
<p>*Classes are structured for advanced dancers with experience in contemporary/modern technique and/or ballet.*</p>
<p>For more information on the workshop, class times, and pricing please contact Joy Davis at <a href="mailto:joydmoves@gmail.com" target="_blank">joydmoves@gmail.com</a><br />
We Hope to see you soon!</p>
