"The Dance of da Vinci 2.0 Student Matinee" is a 60-minute dance broken into four sections that correspond to Leonardo"s work. Section 1 (Vitruvian Man, Vitruvian Quartet and Artists' Studio) focuses on Leonardo's work as a sculptor, painter and observer of human movement. Section 2 (Elephants and Dragons) is inspired by his observations of animals, not only for drawing purposes but also how they equate to human behavior and vice versa. Section 3 (War Machines and Clocks) draws from his work as an architect, machine builder, and inventor.
Section 4 (Taking Flight) brings it all together. The "Dance of da Vinci 2.0 Student Matinee" is performed by 6 dancers. It is supported with original music, Italian renaissance madrigals, projections and light. The in-school workshops are based on grade level curriculum. For example, grade 2 focuses on recognizing and physically making shapes (triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, etc.). Included in the workshop is phrase based learning to introduce students to the performance movement they will see. |
