WILMINGTON DANCE ACADEMY
Join us for The Click's 2023 Mini Clinic Series at Wilmington Dance Academy this April 18-20, 2023! This year's clinics will focus on exploring professional repertory and student choreography, thus giving students the opportunity to experience a variety of creative voices (including their own!).
In this three day repertory intensive, students will have the opportunity to experience three distinct voices in the field of contemporary dance and, in the process, continue to uncover and refine their own creative voices.

APRIL 18 with ANGIE
Bring a journal and pencil and be ready to improvise! Angie will guide students through somatic warm-up and class to warm up not just their bodies, but their creative flow. We'll use a variety of improvisational, writing, and compositional prompts to generate movement as individuals or in small groups. We'll incorporate student choreography into pre-existing repertory that Angie has set on The Click for their upcoming show in May.
APRIL 19 with KATRINA
In this jazz based contemporary workshop, Katrina will explore literature and movement with students, using her recent work-in-progress “Green Eggs & Ham” as an example and guide for choreographing in this way. Students will use words, cadence and rhythm to create phrase work that brings text to life, before learning a section of Katrina’s repertory.
APRIL 20 with RACHEL
In this workshop, Rachel will share a glimpse into her new project inspired by Mieczyslaw Weinberg, a Jewish-Polish composer who created brilliant classical compositions with clear Jewish (Yiddish) themes. At 20 years old, when the Nazis invaded, Weinberg fled to the Soviet Union and was the only member of his family to survive the Holocaust. With his music, he kept alive a whole world of his family and culture that had perished. On account of antisemitism in the Soviet Union, his work with these Jewish influences received heavy pushback, preventing it from ever reaching the level of global recognition it should have had. As part of the CJP & JArts Community Creative Fellowship, Rachel will be creating contemporary dance with these same Yiddish themes as a way to honor Weinberg’s story, celebrate the influences he kept alive in his work, and attempt to restore a small piece of deserved legacy to his name.
During this workshop, you will be taken through a somatic based contemporary warm up, learn a bit more about this important history, learn one of many traditional Yiddish dances, and then learn some new contemporary phrase work inspired by those influences.
This research into Weinberg’s story and Yiddish dance will culminate into the newest dance film under ZACHOR, Rachel’s ongoing series that seeks to preserve the memories of WWII Holocaust Survivor’s through dance. If you are interested in learning more beyond this workshop, there will be opportunities to participate further and be part of the dance film project!
