Description

The Summer Dance Institute (SDI) at Ohio University is a one-week rigorous yet non-competitive program designed for students ages 15 and up. The intensive will also serve as an audition opportunity for students interested in majoring in dance at Ohio University, where they can be considered for the Fine Arts Talent Awards. As a program that values the creative process through the study of choreography, Dance Composition is a key feature of the intensive. Students will develop their capacity for collaborative and creative problem-solving, learn how to generate new movement vocabulary and develop their individual and unique choreographic voice. Students' creative and performance skills will be further enhanced through daily technique classes and dance repertory, which will allow them to learn existing and new choreography from faculty members and guest instructors.
