Performance driven program for emerging and experienced dancers looking to deepen their artistry that ends with a filmed video project.
The ASTC Method Pre-PRO summer intensive experience is designed to expand your artistry and cultimates with a dance video to develop on-camera skills in an on shoot environment. You’ll be challenging your body and mind connection with Alternative Yoga, choreography, contemporary and street dance techniques such as Popping and Animation.
Get ready to embrace all elements of the “Alternative Synergy'' working very closely with company director Amanda Spilinga and company members. The program aims to reaffirm yourself as a highly productive and active artist to help you stand out, find new ways to express yourself, and hone in on your unique craft. In addition, the ASTC Method is about high technical standards in terms of technique and choreography. You will get to learn different dance styles and how to approach new learning territories as well as new working experiences.
Video Project
Pre-PRO students will work towards a dance video project at the end of the eight weeks. The experience is designed to develop your on-camera skills in a team and high-paced rehearsal environment. Whether you want to professionally be in front of a camera or not, this added layer to developing your artistry will bring your dancing and ‘you’ to another level. Performance is a very important focus of the ASTC Method because we consider performance a core discipline of dance such as choreography and technique. By learning through the practice of performance, you will learn to acknowledge, understand and embrace your own power in communicating your message to an audience while inspiring them with your authentic self expression. Our aim is that you will have fun in the process too.
