ProviDANCE Camp

ProviDANCE Camp 2008
Organized by CFA and Singapore Dance Theatre (SDT)
2-4 Jun 08
CFA Studios

The holidays have started but CFA Studios is still busy since early 8am! That was because on 2-4 June, 18 dancers from our various dance groups have gathered to participate the ProviDANCE Camp! This is part of the collaboration between CFA and SDT, and the camp aims to teach various skills to be a choreographer!

Since it's early at 8am, the dancers started the day with an hour long warm up! Here are some of the snapshots...

...and of course, horizontally...

Silvia, (Lady in black, centre) was one of the trainers for this camp.

Dancers said, "Her warm-ups were definitely no-joke!"

And some hopping and jumping...

Our Director, Christine and Deputy Director, JuLi also joined the dancers for lunch to support this event!


CFA has such nice views? Neh... the dancers were fortunate to have a trip down to SDT training studios, and therefore, here they were at Fort Canning Park!


The other two trainers from SDT summarized what they have learnt so far!

Then, our dancers were so excited to meet David Dawson (in blue) to exchange ideas on how to create strong and impact choreography work, that is meaningful to both dancers and the audience.

We also had a chance to witness the rehearsal for A Million Kisses to my Skin by David Dawson. We were sitted real close with the dancers (and decided that it was not nice to take photos). Our dancers were so impressed with the professionalism of the SDT dancers - "I believe I've never been as tired as the SDT dancers in my whole life!"


Day 3 was the result time! These were the works by our student choreographers.
