EDUCATION
Repertory Performance Project: Widow’s Walk
Students have the opportunity to learn a section of Dušan Týnek’s Widow’s Walk and perform alongside Dušan Týnek Dance Theatre for a local professional engagement. A company member would arrive in advance of the engagement to audition dancers and then lead approximately one week of rehearsal to teach the material prior to the company’s arrival for final studio rehearsals followed by tech and dress rehearsal.
Production Master Class/Workshop
Specialized master class or workshop series with a focus on single or multiple areas of collaboration: composer, musicians, lighting/
production, costume design, etc.
Live Music Performance Project for Conservatory/Music Department or Local Music Ensemble
Music students learn a repertory music piece (in its entirety or an excerpt) and perform live to accompany a Dušan Týnek Dance Theatre performance. Once the music score has been learned, approximately 2-4 days of studio rehearsal (depending upon schedule) are necessary in advance of the performance dates. This is a wonderful option for presenters seeking to present live music and dance together through a rewarding educational experience. Works available through the Live Music Performance Project include:
- TRILOGY *with this work there is the potential for composer, Aleksandra Vrebalov, to lead rehearsals or conduct a master class with the music students
in advance of rehearsals with the company.
Discussion with the Artists
Dušan Týnek Dance Theatre is available for Post-Performance Q&A sessions with audiences. Dušan Týnek and company members are also available for discussion with young artists surrounding numerous topics including:
- Creative Process & Inspiration
- Choreographic Collaborations
- Professional Career Advice
- What to expect when transitioning into the world of professional dance
