SUMMARY:SDCDA's Fundraising Nights of Theater (FNOT)
DESCRIPTION:FUNDRAISING NIGHT OF THEATER (FNOT) ~ Fri & Sat\, Oct. 2 & 3 @ 7:30PM\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat began as part of FREE Night of Theater in New York City grew into a national initiative organized by Theater Communications Group to introduce audiences to live performances and quickly became a beloved SDCDA tradition. \nThe larger program began as a pilot in 2005\, with just three cities participating. SDCDA proudly took part for many years\, and when the national program eventually came to an end\, we decided the tradition was too good to let go! \nToday\, our event has evolved into FUNDRAISING Night of Theater\, but our mission remains the same: to welcome our larger community into the theater and give everyone the opportunity to experience the magic of LIVE PERFORMANCE—FREE! Get your tickets today & set a reminder on your calendar! We cannot wait to see you at the theater!

SUMMARY:LAB: Graham-Based Modern (Beg)
DESCRIPTION:This beginning level modern dance workshop is rooted in Graham technique. We begin with a short warm-up to help lengthen and ground our bodies. We then introduce the codified Graham exercises\, beginning with floor exercises – bounces\, breathings\, spirals in 3s & 6s\, seated contractions\, deep stretches\, turns around the back\, pleadings\, etc. Transitioning to standing\, we move to center work – plies\, brushes\, changes around the ankle\, and a center combination. As time allows\, we’ll end with exercises and phrases across the floor – triplets\, prances\, jumps\, etc. Through focus on technique\, we’ll develop strength and deeper understanding of Graham technique\, which has its own unique movement language. \nThis class is geared towards both beginning dancers and more experienced dancers who are new to Graham technique. \n*Recommendation – If you have difficulty sitting on the floor with your back straight up and legs extended out in front\, we recommend that you bring a yoga mat or towel/blanket. These items may be folded and placed under the seat for floor exercise modifications.
