Dance Reach Mission Statement:
To provide students with access to high quality and culturally diverse
dance forms. To teach students about the process of creating movement
from the smallest of gestures to the biggest of leaps. Students
will be helped to discover the art of choreography by learning from
and working with choreographers on the cutting edge. They will also
explore the impact that music, costumes and lighting have on dance
and on it's audience.
|
The
creative team behind The Elan Awards consists of
Geoffrey
Doig-Marx
(Creator/Co-Executive Producer/Artistic Director)
Bruce Robert Harris
(Co-Executive Producer)
Kathleen
McAree
(Master Class Series Director)
The
team feels a deep sense of responsibility to acknowledge the previous
generations of choreographers who have paved dance history by inspiring,
educating and changing the way students and audiences perceive dance.
By
presenting the award as part of a dance festival, the team is bridging
the gap between generations and paying homage in the best way they
can: dance itself, depicting how each choreographer has used their
knowledge and reinterpreted it.
From
the Celtic tradition, the word "Elan" translates as "flight".
