VIM VIGOR SUMMER INTENSIVE: 
AUGUST 7-18, 2017

https://www.vimvigordance.com/summer-2017

VIM VIGOR's SUMMER PROGRAM is in response to the need for contemporary dance-theater based education in the greater NYC area. The PROGRAM is anchored in the company's commitment to activate the whole of the performer, from the extremes of virtuosic dance to the fluid awareness of emotion and experience.

This PROGRAM will include classes that focus on contemporary dance with VIM's signature full-bodied aesthetic in combination with complex floorwork, partnering, acting, improvisation, awareness, dance-theater methodology, roundtable community discussions, creative exchange with the company, and an experiential sharing at the end of the two weeks.  

To Apply: 

Send a letter of interest along with these supporting materials: Summer Program Form, resume, headshot, and video links. Video links should include two consecutive minutes of your dancing (choreographed phrasework and improvisation are both acceptable, but no editing please). There is no in-person audition for this program, so please share footage that best represents you. All materials should be emailed to: info@vimvigordance.com, with SUMMER 2017 APPLICANT in the subject line.

Dancers must be at least 18 years old, but there is no age limit. All dancers should be advised that this is an advanced training session.a??

Location: 

VIM VIGOR's creative home is with New Jersey Dance Theatre Ensemble in Summit, NJ. As artists in residence we have found that this incredible facility provides not only world-class studios, but a quiet and focused place in which we are able to dig deeper into our work. In this light, we are very pleased to host our Summer Program at NJDTE in August 2017. A direct train ride from NYC, the studios are a five minute walk from the station, and the town center is a safe and friendly area with coffee shops, restaurants, and more for relaxing (and recovering!) after the day's work. a??

Scholarships:

Scholarships are only available for the full program. We have three scholarships available this summer, one full and two partial. To apply please send a letter of recommendation and a letter of financial need along with your application materials. Scholarship candidates will be notified of financial aid status on or before June 15th, 2017.
