"RHYTHMIC REPERTOIRE"
"Rhythmic Repertoire" workshop provides the rare opportunity for the artist to learn a piece from the repertoire of a company that they wouldn’t typically connect with. This allows the artists to learn first-hand about the history of the ballet, see the original footage of the ballet, receive feed-back while executing the movement, and possibly use for the development of a reel. The artist will also have the opportunity to meet the artistic director of the company via the platform.
Rhythmic Repertoire is offering two phenomenal experiences this year:
First, our Spring Rhythmic Repertoire session provides high level training from a variety of SD|Prism Faculty. This supplementary training is highly recommended for those wanting to attend our next offering.
Second, two weeks at the renowned Nacho Duato Academy in Madrid. The Spanish Experience includes travel, accommodations in Spain, and day trips to some of Madrid's cultural offerings.
