Thursday, April 15, 2010
6pm
Applications available now - contact jbasi@aquinas-sta.org or call (954) 513 2272

Pilobolus began, in 1971, as an outsider dance company, and quickly became renowned the world over for its imaginative and athletic exploration of creative collaboration. Nearly 40 years later, it has evolved into a pioneering American cultural institution of the 21st century. This class is an opportunity for participants to discover, explore, and research their own movement vocabulary and how movement and emotion relate to others on stage, and through collaboration, improvisation and play, create dance and demystify the creative process. 

This is a rare opportunity for dancers to try something new, hone their skills, and enjoy movement. Pilobolus-like techniques and principles will be taught by current members of Pilobolus Dance Theater. This workshop is designed to bring dancers to the next level while having a lot of fun.

Space is limited and dance students must apply for admission. Application info is listed above.

First coming to prominence in the early '90s Charlie Hunter has since become one of the leading names in jazz, recording 17 albums. Hunter is noted for playing custom-made seven and eight-string guitars, on which he simultaneously plays basslines, rhythm guitar, and solos. Critic Sean Westergaard describes Hunter's innovative guitar technique as "mind-boggling ... he's an agile improviser with an ear for great tone, and always has excellent players alongside him in order to make great music, not to show off." He has a style that has to be heard – and seen - to be believed.
Charlie has recently collaborated on recordings with Norah Jones, John Mayer, and Jon Scofield.   

"…a man who [has] built his reputation by conquering hairy bass lines and heady post-bop melodies simultaneously on custom eight-string instruments… Hunter is still a musical beast." -Guitar Player

"…Hunter rips through the air with superrock fuzz and fusion mettle." - Rolling Stone
