Course Descriptions
Modern Technique I (Intermediate/Advanced Level)
Incorporating LMA/BF, Somatics, and a dynamically rich pallet of movement experiences designed to invigorate, inform, and inspire. KT Warm-Ups will be a part of this experience. (Kista Tucker)
Modern Technique II
This course will be included if there are enough participants. (TBA)
Issues in Dance
Workshop participants will bring their own concerns to the course. They can include physical participation and/or intellectual discussion. The course can include concepts and details relating to choreography, but it can also include (though are not limited to) topics such as: how to promote oneself; how to get a job; what are dance related kinds of work that actually pay a living wage; what does the term “professional” really mean; when should a dancer quit dancing; what are today’s trends; how can I get my leg higher; how do I determine my own range of motion; what kind of music is best for… ; the plight of the adjunct professor; what does it mean to collaborate; where is the best place for dance in the U.S., in Europe; why (for the most part) don’t women get the good jobs in dance; and more?
Lab
This course brings Laban Movement Analysis, Conditioning Principles, Pilates, and Somatics together to create individual conditioning programs.
Repertory
A work from the KTD, Inc. repertory will be reconstructed and taught to workshop participants. Or, an entirely new work will be created on a group of summer intensive participants. This work will be performed by Repertory course participants in the Saturday evening concert.
LMA/BF (Laban Movement Analysis/Bartenieff Fundamentals™)
Introductory theoretic principles of LMA and BF™ are offered with a practical application approach. Movement will be observed, analyzed, and if time permits, prescribed. BF™ will be taught, practiced, and applied to movement used throughout the Intensive, within the KT Warm-Ups in particular. This course is taught by a Certified Movement Analyst.
Note: The LMA/BF™ Course will emphasize Bartenieff Fundamentals™. The content is designed to satisfy the 15-hour prerequisite BF requirements of the Laban/Bartenieff Institute of Movement Studies program in NYC. Bartenieff Fundamentals ™ and their component parts will be explained, explored, and applied to movement throughout the summer intensive.
"Intro to Bartenieff Fundamentals™” is taught by Kista Tucker (CMA, RSMT, BS, MA, MFA).
Ballet
This ballet class will be taught from a somatic approach. It will focus on the value of body/mind connectivity and how it can be applied to develop technical strength, increase anatomical awareness and enhance individual perfodrmance quality.

Participants are encouraged to send an audition DVD by April 15 of works they would like to have included in the concert. DVD’s can be sent earlier so that participants can plan their own rehearsals prior to the KT’11SI. There is no specific time limit for the work, but it would work best if the piece was no more than 10-12 minutes in duration. Shorter is fine. We want to include as many dances as possible without making the concert too long. Contact KTd, Inc. at admin@kistatucker.com if your work is longer than 12 min.
There is no audition fee.
Both KT’12SI Repertory classes will perform in this concert.
Full-time participants can attend the concert for free.
Ticket price for non-full-time participants is $10.00
