Theatre Junction GRAND welcomes Australia's Splintergroup to Calgary with their unbelieveable production of 'roadkill' (running Feb.17-20). As part of our ongoing 09.10 Masterclass series, Gavin Webber of Splintergroup will be teaching a workshop on contemporary dance in The Studio at Theatre Junction GRAND on Saturday, February 20th from 1pm-4pm.
Choreographer and performer Gavin Webber has been working professionally in dance theatre for over ten years. After completing his degree at the Centre For the Performing Arts in Adelaide, Australia, he joined Meryl Tankard Australian Dance Theatre with whom he danced for 6 years, touring through Australia, Scandinavia, Europe, Israel and North America. After moving to Europe he studied with Maguy Marin in Lyon before joining the company Ultima Vez in Brussels. He continues to work extensively in both Europe and Australia, teaching and performing in his own work as well as for Wim Vandekybus.
During his time in Calgary, Gavin will bring a masterclass of contemporary technique which includes a technical class dealing with floorwork and release, and then will move on to ways to build choreography through the exploration of the themes of a work using his distinctive brand of aggressively physical dance and the company's work with roadkill as a reference. Gavin will be assisted by company members Grayson Millwood and Gabrielle Nankivell.
This class is open to the professional community and senior dance students.
Cost: $45
