NEW 2009-2010 Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, Discovery Series collaboration with Young Audiences of Houston!
Travesty Dance Group, Framing Dance
Field Trip Performance & In-School Workshop
Grades 2-6
Kicking off storytelling month in February, the Discovery Series at the Hobby Center for Performing Arts presents “Framing Dance” with Travesty Dance Group. In “Framing Dance” students investigate dance answering the question, “What does it mean?” Using story telling as the launching pad, the students take a journey that starts with the story of Cinderella and ends in the abstract world of contemporary dance. Through viewing dance in a polished theater setting, students engage their own imaginations by considering meaning of dance through live performances by Travesty Dance Group. Students have the opportunity to discuss their reactions with the company members, as well as joining the dancers on stage in a performance. “Framing Dance” impacts art appreciation as the fundamental concepts can be adapted to music, visual art, and theater. “Framing Dance” is an exciting and unique multi-media interactive event that includes projections, performances by the company, narration by company director Karen Stokes, and an on-stage experiential event with the students.
