Shenandoah Conservatory and DanceWorks Chicago Create Collaborative Virtual Performance That Speaks To Our Times PRESS RELEASE

Shenandoah Conservatory’s Dance Division has teamed up with internationally renowned Chicago-based repertory company DanceWorks Chicago to create and present a virtual performance featuring selections from the iconic work “Rosas Danst Rosas” by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. The work premieres online on Shenandoah Conservatory’s Facebook page at 2 p.m. EST on Friday, May 8. A live interview with the artists and collaborators will follow.

The project features students from the conservatory’s advanced modern dance class, two recent Shenandoah Conservatory alumni and a cohort of professional dancers from DanceWorks Chicago. Co-produced by Assistant Professor of Dance Matt Pardo, M.F.A., and Co-Founder/Artistic Director of DanceWorks Chicago Julie Nakagawa, with film and editing by cinematographer Devon Donis of Adonis Visuals, the project is one of many examples of how the conservatory has partnered with industry artists to create new digital content during the COVID-19 crisis.

“A time of challenge can inspire innovation,” said Nakagawa. “Shenandoah University’s invitation to DanceWorks Chicago to build on our existing relationship demonstrates its commitment to innovative partnerships, forward-thinking programs and creative energy.”

The project was initially designed to offer students a chance to continue developing high-level performance skills even while under quarantine, but, as Pardo explains, “it has also given our dancers an opportunity to collaborate with some of the country’s best early career professional artists.” Pardo continued, “Shenandoah Conservatory values collaboration, and this project will help nurture our relationship with a company whose expressed mission is to help young artists further develop into their best artistic selves.” In addition to serving the needs of current students, the project also engages alumni in a meaningful way and at a crucial time. “Artists will continue to be especially hard hit as a result of this pandemic,” Pardo said “By incorporating two of our many amazing alumni, SU continues supporting and cultivating its community in an effort to help them grow further despite the challenges of this global crisis.”

Originally choreographed in 1983 by world-renowned Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, “Rosas Danst Rosas” was a natural choice for the project as it allows room for adaptations and interpretation. The dancers will perform the second section from the work, which features dances with and on chairs. There are four movement tracks in the original work and the 20 dancers have been given specific tracks to learn. For the final performance, the dancers will be positioned on a digital screen based on what track they have learned and each dancer will perform the work from their own location. The 20 dancers will perform the original movement score of the work and will also re-imagine the choreographic score in smaller sections, giving them an opportunity to collaborate with each other in the redesign of De Keersmaeker’s iconic choreography. Dancers will be performing the work from their home locations all over the world, including sites along the east coast, Chicago and as far west as Hawaii. “It’s exciting to bring this work to life in a virtual, but socially connected performance,” Pardo said. “The work allows us to perform alone – together.”

Ultimately, Pardo and Nakagawa see this project as more than just a performance: it is an expression of their shared mission as artists and educators, and that mission has never been more important than it is now. As Pardo explained, “this project demonstrates that the more we engage and support each other — even while apart — the more we can continue our shared push for excellence in the arts.”

Nakagawa, expanded on what makes this particular partnership and project so meaningful. “Our organizations share values around being compassionate citizens who are committed to making responsible contributions within a community, a nation and the world. This project is a powerful demonstration of those shared values.”

Others in the dance world appear to agree — this is an important project and partnership. In addition to the online premiere, the project will be highlighted in an upcoming feature by Jennifer Edwards of The Dance Enthusiast, an acclaimed digital news site and arts organization that serves the dance community by engaging audiences, artists and writers in conversations about dance.

Shenandoah Conservatory and DanceWorks Chicago’s “Rosas Danst Rosas” premieres online at 2 p.m. EST on Friday, May 8, and audiences can access the free performance by logging onto Shenandoah Conservatory’s Facebook page. The performance, which is approximately 10 minutes, will be followed by a live interview with the artists. Audiences are invited to submit questions via the Facebook comments section. For more information visit ConservatoryPerforms.org or join us on Facebook.

A Rosas Collaboration

Dance Film Premiere Presented in Partnership with DanceWorks Chicago

Shenandoah Conservatory and DanceWorks Chicago unveil an original dance film featuring selections from Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s 1983 landmark work Rosas Danst Rosas. The project, developed during the COVID-19 crisis, features 20 dancers, including students from the conservatory’s advanced modern dance class, two recent Shenandoah Conservatory alumni, and six professional dancers from DanceWorks Chicago. The 12-minute film features the original second section of Rosas Danst Rosas and new sections created by the dancers based on De Keersmaeker’s original movement score. The dancers rehearsed virtually from their home locations throughout the United States.

Audiences can access the free performance by logging onto Shenandoah Conservatory’s Facebook page at 2PM EDT on Friday, May 8. The unveiling of the dance film, which is approximately 12 minutes, will include a live interview with the project leaders and comments from the dancers. Audiences are invited to submit questions via the Facebook comments section.

Undergraduate Curricula Boldly Reimagined at Shenandoah Conservatory PRESS RELEASE

After an intensive two-year process of analysis and review, Shenandoah Conservatory announces newly redesigned undergraduate curricula across all 17 undergraduate degrees in music, theatre and dance. The redesigned programs combine top-level industry preparation with increased focus on collaboration, entrepreneurship and student well-being.

“Shenandoah Conservatory faculty have revised programs to offer our students enhanced rigorous training in their field,” said Associate Dean for Faculty and Academic Affairs Jeffrey Marlatt, Ph.D. “With an eye to innovation and 21st-century career preparation, our graduates will gain a competitive advantage in the changing career marketplace.”

In the fall of 2018, the Shenandoah Conservatory Futures Group, consisting of conservatory leadership along with a group of faculty representatives, began an intensive process of reflection, critical review and information-gathering. Building on the work done by this committee, and in conjunction with feedback from students and alumni, the full faculty then embarked on a sweeping 18-month-long initiative to boldly reimagine the undergraduate curriculum. That process included guidance from industry leaders in the arts and arts education, as well as in-depth discussions during faculty retreats and an analysis of data collected via surveys and focus groups.

As a result, bold enhancements have been enacted in all undergraduate degrees. Those enhancements have not only strengthened Shenandoah’s long-standing commitment to excellence in industry preparation and to providing students a uniquely nurturing and supportive community, but have also further positioned the conservatory as one of the country’s leading centers for collaboration, even while increasing the financial sustainability of offerings.

“Over the past decade, employers worldwide — both within and beyond the performing arts — have demanded new levels of skillfulness in collaboration, which is professional shorthand for ‘must, above all, be able to work well with others,’” said Dean of Shenandoah Conservatory Michael Stepniak, Ed.D. “Shenandoah Conservatory is responding to this new workplace orientation, one that requires our graduates to be simultaneously empathetic, entrepreneurial and resilient.”

As part of the sweeping new curriculum redesign, some programs have strengthened their commitment to collaboration, entrepreneurship and student well-being by making small, but impactful, changes to courses, performance opportunities and capstone projects. Other undergraduate degrees have undergone major overhauls, resulting in curriculum at the cutting edge of arts education.

New across all undergraduate programs is an unprecedented initiative: All entering undergraduate conservatory students will begin their studies as a multidisciplinary cohort with a four-semester course sequence called ShenCoSKILLS. With semesters focusing on the topics of engagement, resilience, identity and collaboration, the ShenCoSKILLS program means that, within the first two years, all undergraduate students will build the foundation needed to craft a distinct personal and professional digital and social media footprint; create a personal wellness plan; develop an artist statement; and design a multidisciplinary project that incorporates students from the music, theatre, dance and academic divisions. The course also integrates practice-based components, such as mindfulness and guided meditation. Ultimately, the goal of this initiative is to help students situate themselves within the conservatory; build their mental, emotional and physical well-being; create their individual artistic paths; and support collaboration across disciplines. These skills — so critical to 21st-century career success — are further developed by the conservatory’s annual ShenCoLAB, a first-in-the-USA initiative launched two years ago devoted to student-driven collaboration and creative work.

Shenandoah Conservatory’s new undergraduate curriculum will launch in the fall of 2020 when it welcomes hundreds of new students to its community. Dr. Stepniak, reflecting on the milestone stated, “Shenandoah Conservatory has always provided students and faculty with a special community. But this takes things to a new level. Through these curricula changes, Shenandoah Conservatory provides students with the rigorous training expected of a world-class conservatory, while also offering them best-in-the-nation opportunities to build skill sets in managing well-being, and developing as artists, teachers and clinicians who are skilled collaborators.”

America’s ONLY Performing Arts Schoolwide Student Festival Returns to Shenandoah Conservatory! ShenCoLAB: Festival of Arts, Ideas and Exploration features 22 original student projects involving 200+ student collaborators at seven venues across campus in daylong festival

Shenandoah Conservatory’s unique commitment to cross-disciplinary collaboration and student-led innovation will be on full display when ShenCoLAB returns for a week of unbridled exploration and creation, culminating Saturday, Nov. 2, with a daylong Festival of Arts, Ideas and Exploration.

Now in its second year, ShenCoLAB stands apart as the only student-led festival in the nation to span either an entire conservatory or university performing arts unit. During the week of Tuesday, Oct. 29, through Saturday, Nov. 2, 2019, the conservatory cancels classes and rehearsals across all its music, dance and theatre programs, and turns over its facilities to students who work across disciplines on self-directed, time-limited projects fueled by their own passion, drive and curiosity. The week culminates Saturday, Nov. 2, with a Festival of Arts, Ideas and Exploration, featuring a wide variety of innovative and provocative performances and presentations.

This year’s festival includes 22 projects supported by 200+ student collaborators.

Projects are being presented in seven venues across Shenandoah University’s main campus from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Local food trucks are serving audiences and the festival concludes with a celebratory after party.

“ShenCoLAB was started as a radical experiment to support great learning by giving our students the time and space to develop and lead collaborative and innovative projects,” said Dean of Shenandoah Conservatory Michael Stepniak, Ed.D. “Put simply, ShenCoLAB enables students to do work that deeply matters and to sharpen the very skills that employers demand: teamwork, perseverance, creative thinking, courageous risk-taking, comfort with innovation, and rapid problem solving.”

Originally referred to as Student Performance Week, the idea for ShenCoLAB began in 2017 when Dr. Stepniak visited The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. At the time, both schools were in the midst of initiatives which effectively turned college instruction on its head, freeing students to interact and create in ways both new and completely of their own design. Excited about the possibilities of such a program existing at Shenandoah Conservatory, Stepniak assembled a small student/faculty task force and, thanks to funding from the Dean’s Circle, supported an exploratory return trip the following year. After a four-day whirlwind tour in early 2018, the group returned to Shenandoah with a positive recommendation for creating a similar initiative at Shenandoah Conservatory; albeit with the important caveat that it must include students from across the entire conservatory — music, theatre and dance, as well as the academic and research-oriented departments. Since gaining approval, the taskforce has shifted to planning and promoting this massive project.

“Collaborating with other artists leads us to make creative decisions we wouldn’t make by ourselves,” said Andy Herring ’18, ’19 (Bachelor of Music in Composition, Master of Science in Performing Arts Leadership & Management). “[The week] allowed us five life-changing days to focus our time and energy on a project that has added immense value to our education.” Herring co-led “Explorations in Improvised Dance and Music,” a project that brought 11 collaborators together to draw from improvisational norms in music and dance to create a performance in which the two disciplines were treated as equal partners and the artists reacted spontaneously to both motion and sound, during last year’s festival.

The daylong festival offers audiences access to a wide variety of live performances and presentations. Wristbands are available for a suggested donation of $10 ($5 for students and youth). Proceeds support ongoing ShenCoLAB efforts. Festival wristbands and information are available at the Shenandoah Conservatory Box Office at (540) 665-4569, located in the lobby of Ohrstrom-Bryant Theatre and online at conservatoryperforms.org.

Reflections: Invited Choreographers Showcase

Reflections features works by invited guest artist choreographers Kimberly Field, Ilana Goldman and Lucinda Childs, an internationally acclaimed artist revered for her collaborations with Philip Glass, Sol LeWitt, Andy Warhol, Wendy Whelan and Robert Wilson.

Ilana GoldmanIlana Goldman premieres a new work for six women inspired by, and featuring, Bach’s unaccompanied cello suites and the artwork of Kandinsky, Severini and Boccioni. Solo, duet, trio and ensemble sections showcase the dancers’ individual talents and personalities, creating a rich vocabulary of movement.

Kim FieldKim Field’s “Verve Remixed” pays homage to jazz pioneers while weaving a contemporary thread throughout. Timeless tracks, remixed by contemporary electronic music producers and DJs, adds an exciting and dynamic spin to the timeless sounds and choreography of classic jazz styles.

Lucinda ChildsAward-winning choreographer Lucinda Childs is internationally renowned for her post-minimalist movements. Her work “Concerto,” which premiered in Portugal in 1993, draws inspiration from Henryk Górecki’s Concerto for Harpsichord and Strings. Childs’ choreography revels in the work’s variations in intensity and baroque-like melodies; and is hailed as “nine minutes of absolute rigour, a kind of mini masterpiece to record in the choreographic diaries of the 20th century.” (Dominique Frétard, Le Monde, November 1993).
