Field Trip: "Joe Goode" Jan 25th

LPHS Dance Class Field Trip:

“Joe Goode” Matinee Performance

Friday FEBRUARY 24^th 10:00am 2012 at Kingsbury Hall in SLC

This Performance:

Junior high and high school students are invited to attend Joe Goode’s student matinee performance.

“[Goode’s work] does everything good art is supposed to do – touch viewers’ souls and minds – and make them want more.” -San Francisco Examiner

Joe Goode has created a genre of dance theater that combines text, gestures, and humor with his own deeply physical, high velocity dancing. With an emphasis on understanding, compassion and tolerance among people through the innovative use of dance and theater, each Joe Goode performance will not just entertain but also provoke and inspire.

For more information go to Kingsburyhall.org

Graded Assignment: Concert Critique (50 points)

It is a required graded assignment for students in Dance 1, 2, 3 and PDC to attend one university or professional level modern dance concert a semester and write a critique on it.  There are only a couple approved performances available, do not leave it until the last minute at the end of the semester!  This concert performance is approved to count towards the concert report assignment.

Through attending and viewing artistic concert dance, students are able to see professional dancers and professional choreography, thus enhancing their perception, understanding, and appreciation of dance.   Students see new possibilities for dance and what to aspire to when dancing, performing, and choreographing themselves.  There is so much that can be learned through watching.

Cost: $3

These professional concerts usually range from $20-$50 and we, as a school, have the great opportunity to see such companies at a reduced, or even free rate!  There is a minimal transportation charge for the bus at only $3.
