Aspen Community Theatre is offering a free dance workshop on August 23rd from 10 am to 3 pm hosted by Marisa Post, the director and choreographer for Aspen Community Theatre’s fall musical, “Chicago.”
Synonymous with the show “Chicago” is the name of its brilliant director and choreographer Bob Fosse. Highly stylized, this dance class will explore the essential ingredients in the choreography of Fosse, including his dance roots in vaudeville, burlesque and jazz. The workshop will include a film history of vaudeville and burlesque, a session on how to follow choreography, culminating in a dance class designed to pull it all together. This class is perfect for actors, singers and dancers of all experience levels.
Marisa Post received her theatre training at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, NYC and is currently the Director of Education at Theatre Aspen. She has worked as a professional actress, in New York and nationally. As a director and choreographer, Marisa has created new and published works for the stage, including Umbrella Man, Little Shop of Horrors, A Little Night Music, I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change and The Sound of Music.
Enrollment is limited. Please call Carol Bayley @ 920.3937 to register.
