“One of the Hottest Dance Companies in America” -- Portland Stage Reviews Sarah Slipper FOUNDED IN 2004 BY ACCLAIMED DANCER, MENTOR, AND CHOREOGRAPHER SARAH SLIPPER, NORTHWEST DANCE PROJECT IS DEDICATED TO THE CREATION AND PERFORMANCE OF INNOVATIVE, CONTEMPORARY NEW DANCE WORKS FROM ESTABLISHED AND EMERGING DANCE MAKERS CREATED IN AN OPEN AND ARTISTICALLY STIMULATING ENVIRONMENT. Our dedication to providing dancers and dance makers the resources and creative room needed to realize new, inspired dance works led Dance International Magazine to proclaim that we were “changing the way dance is created” and established Northwest Dance Project as “a laboratory, factory and repository for risk-taking new works from the next generation of choreographers from Europe and North America.” In order to produce the next wave of significant dance works, we are also committed to advancing dance education and community involvement. Northwest Dance Project established our beautiful Creative Center in the heart of Portland’s vibrant and historic Northeast Neighborhood where we lead dance education for adults and children through our various projects, intensives, workshops and classes as well as opportunities for established and emerging dance makers to choreograph and refine new works set on our company of classically trained, fearless contemporary company dancers. ABOUT Because dance cannot survive without new audiences and deepened appreciation of the art form, we strive to engage individuals and communities with dance through accessible performances by our Company, studio sessions, dance samplers, outdoor performances, special events, master classes, collaborations with artists of other performing arts and visual genres and conversation with artists. We even do the unexpected bringing performances to the streets, coffee shops, hospitals and the occasional escalator in shopping malls! We also love offering the experience of dance to youth of all ages (from 4 to 80!) through our interactive Dance Moves community outreach program. “ONE OF THE HOTTEST DANCE COMPANIES IN AMERICA” -- PORTLAND STAGE REVIEWS SARAH SLIPPER “SARAH SLIPPER IS TRULY GIFTED. THIS IS WHAT DANCE SHOULD BE... SHE FOUND THE POINT AT WHICH THE FORM OF DANCE (STEPS, TECHNIQUE, FEET, PERFORMANCE) COMBINE TO CREATE A WORK OF ART.” — THE NEWS RECORD Sarah Slipper was born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, and received her professional training at the Royal Ballet School in London, England and the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School. In 1980, she made her professional debut with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet as a corps de ballet member, and became one of the company’s leading dramatic ballerinas. Ms. Slipper worked closely with many internationally renowned directors, choreographers and teachers, including Arnold Spohr, Rudi van Dantzig, Hans van Manen, Jirí Kylián, Agnes de Mille, Galina Yordanova, and Alla Savchenko. Ms. Slipper was noted for her classical line and dramatic abilities, dancing the principal roles in classical ballets such as Swan Lake, Les Sylphides, Giselle, and The Nutcracker. In addition to the classical repertoire, she received worldwide acclaim for her performances of contemporary ballets, most notably Nobert Vesak’s The Ecstasy of Rita Joe and the award winning Belong pas de deux. After Ms. Slipper left the stage, she continued her passion for music and drama, studying theatre at the honours level at University of Winnipeg, and in Oxford, England. During the 1996/97 season, she served as ballet mistress of Alberta Ballet, and from 1997/99 as ballet mistress of Oregon Ballet Theatre. Ms. Slipper’s command of classical and contemporary styles is demonstrated in her active role of teaching and coaching younger dancers. As a guest master teacher, Ms. Slipper has worked with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, Washington Ballet, Ballet Austin, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, The Jefferson Dancers, and Dance Departments of University of Utah, Cornish College of the Arts, and University of Iowa. An award-winning independent choreographer, Ms. Slipper is presently based in Portland, Oregon, creating dance worldwide. She has worked with prominent dance companies including the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, Cincinnati Ballet, Oregon Ballet Theatre, Nashville Ballet, Washington Ballet, Ballet Jorgen, Louisville Ballet, Ballet NY, Alberta Ballet, Ballet Pacifica, Cornish Dance Theater, Northwest Dance Project, and The Jefferson Dancers. She was awarded the Grand Prize for Choreography at the International Choreographic Competition Saint Sauveur 2000 for her ballet Shattered Night, which was created on the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. During her choreographic residency at Festival des Arts in Quebec, Canada, her ballet, A River In A Dry Land, was described by the Montreal Gazette as “one of the finest choreographies produced in residency.” Ms. Slipper’s works have been described as “absolutely remarkable... grippingly pits breezy romanticism against a sinister undercurrent.” (The Oregonian) and “... a complete, enclosed world, a somber yet hopeful winter landscape across which the three couples thread in a long, smoothly unfolding skein of dance.” (The New York Times) A Fine Balance, her pas de deux created during Northwest Dance Project’s inaugural year, was a finalist for the prestigious Benois de la Danse award in 2006 and was performed at the Bolshoi Theatre as part of the award’s gala celebration. Ms. Slipper is the founding Artistic Director of Northwest Dance Project and has created over thirty original works for the company to date. “ARTISTIC DIRECTOR SARAH SLIPPER’S DANCERS JUST KEEP GETTING BETTER - SHARPER, MORE ELASTIC, MORE SELF-ASSURED.” -- THE OREGONIAN DIRECTOR ARTISTIC DANIELLE AGAMI Danielle Agami was born in Israel in 1984.

After 8 years with the Batsheva Dance Company, Danielle relocated to New York, where she functioned as senior manager of Gaga U.S.A. In 2011, she created original works at Rutgers University, Boston Conservatory, and Springboard Montreal. After relocating to Seattle, Agami founded Ate9 dANCEcOMPANY as her first longitudinal project - a discovery of her artistic voice as a dancer, choreographer, and teacher. Danielle created her first work for Northwest Dance Project, This Time Tomorrow, in 2013. LUCAS CRANDALL Lucas Crandall began training in dance at the age of 14.

  • Types of Dance Styles
    Types of Dance Styles International Standard Ballroom Dances Ballroom Dance: Ballroom dancing is one of the most entertaining and elite styles of dancing. In the earlier days, ballroom dancewas only for the privileged class of people, the socialites if you must. This style of dancing with a partner, originated in Germany, but is now a popular act followed in varied dance styles. Today, the popularity of ballroom dance is evident, given the innumerable shows and competitions worldwide that revere dance, in all its form. This dance includes many other styles sub-categorized under this. There are many dance techniques that have been developed especially in America. The International Standard recognizes around 10 styles that belong to the category of ballroom dancing, whereas the American style has few forms that are different from those included under the International Standard. Tango: It definitely does take two to tango and this dance also belongs to the American Style category. Like all ballroom dancers, the male has to lead the female partner. The choreography of this dance is what sets it apart from other styles, varying between the International Standard, and that which is American. Waltz: The waltz is danced to melodic, slow music and is an equally beautiful dance form. The waltz is a graceful form of dance, that requires fluidity and delicate movement. When danced by the International Standard norms, this dance is performed more closely towards each other as compared to the American Style. Foxtrot: Foxtrot, as a dance style, gives a dancer flexibility to combine slow and fast dance steps together.

    SHAKING MEDICINE WE KNOW IT’S GOOD TO MEDITATE, BUT WE’ve oVERLOOKED THE HEALING POWER OF ECSTATIC SHAKING . UNTIL NOW. By Bradford Keeney n November of 1881, a Squaxin Indian log- ger from Puget Sound named John Slocum became sick and soon was pronounced dead. As he lay covered with sheets, friends proceeded to conduct a wake and wait for Ihis wooden coffin to arrive. To everyone’s aston- ishment, he revived and began to describe an encounter he’d had with an angel. The angel told Slocum that God was going to send a new kind of medicine to the Indian people, which would enable them not only to heal others, but to heal themselves without a shaman or a doctor.

  • Examining the Functions of Infant Musicality Within A
    EXAMINING THE FUNCTIONS OF INFANT MUSICALITY WITHIN A CHILDCARE COMMUNITY by Nita Chandru Baxani Dissertation Committee: Professor Lori Custodero, Sponsor Professor Susan Recchia Approved by the Committee on the Degree of Doctor of Education Date May 16, 2018 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Education in Teachers College, Columbia University 2018 ABSTRACT EXAMINING THE FUNCTIONS OF INFANT MUSICALITY WITHIN A CHILDCARE COMMUNITY Nita Chandru Baxani The purpose of this case study was to explore and understand the function of music in an infant community. By observing the musical behaviors of seven children under the age of two in both childcare and home settings, I sought to gain new insights that can inform parents, caregivers, and educators about the engagement with and possible functions of music for infants. The theories of Communicative Musicality and psychobiological needs informed this study and provided the lenses through which I observed infant musicality. Data collection comprised semi-structured interviews with parents at home, interviews with teachers, weekly infant room observation fieldnotes, weekly infant music class video observations, parent and teacher diary entries, and artifacts such as memos, videos, and photos from the childcare and home settings. Data analysis involved identifying infant musical behaviors and their possible functions with respect to the child’s musical experience, framed as episodes. Through the use of portraiture, the individual music making of each infant was described within the contexts of the home, school, field observation, and music class settings, and relationships that developed through musical interactions were highlighted within the infant community.

  • The Miseducation of Hip-Hop Dance: Authenticity, and the Commodification of Cultural Identities
    The Miseducation of Hip-Hop dance: Authenticity, and the commodification of cultural identities. E. Moncell Durden., Assistant Professor of Practice University of Southern California Glorya Kaufman School of Dance Introduction Hip-hop dance has become one of the most popular forms of dance expression in the world. The explosion of hip-hop movement and culture in the 1980s provided unprecedented opportunities to inner-city youth to gain a different access to the “American” dream; some companies saw the value in using this new art form to market their products for commercial and consumer growth. This explosion also aided in an early downfall of hip-hop’s first dance form, breaking. The form would rise again a decade later with a vengeance, bringing older breakers out of retirement and pushing new generations to develop the technical acuity to extraordinary levels of artistic corporeal genius. We will begin with hip-hop’s arduous beginnings. Born and raised on the sidewalks and playgrounds of New York’s asphalt jungle, this youthful energy that became known as hip-hop emerged from aspects of cultural expressions that survived political abandonment, economic struggles, environmental turmoil and gang activity. These living conditions can be attributed to high unemployment, exceptionally organized drug distribution, corrupt police departments, a failed fire department response system, and Robert Moses’ building of the Cross-Bronx Expressway, which caused middle and upper-class residents to migrate North. The South Bronx lost 600,000 jobs and displaced more than 5,000 families. Between 1973 and 1977, and more than 30,000 fires were set in the South Bronx, which gave rise to the phrase “The Bronx is Burning.” This marginalized the black and Latino communities and left the youth feeling unrepresented, and hip-hop gave restless inner-city kids a voice.
