This week is definitely Mocean and so much moore!

After a day in the theatre setting the lights with designer Leigh Ann Vardy and smoothing out the edges with our wonderful tech team, lead by Marcel Boulet -I ran over to the King's University dance studio to lead a master class for the King's Dance Collective.

Live Art Dance and Mocean teamed up to offer a master class and ticket combo deal for the King's Dance Collective members. I taught an advanced contemporary dance class, gave a little intro about the upcoming production and Live Art Dance offered tickets to see the performance, plus free beer!!!

Griffin McInnes, an intern with Live Art Dance worked his magic at the Wardroom student pub and the master class participants finished their evening with a nice tasty refreshment. The combination of being in the old university architecture and the student's raw energy I felt like I was brought back in time to the enlightenment era. Discussions on art, embodiment and how dance supports the world's natural rhythm quickly spilled onto the table.   I also had the pleasure of seeing "the pit"- the working grounds for the the king's theatre society. 

Through my enthusiasm for the evening, I might have convinced all the collective members to change their majors to dance, or at least encourage the journalism students to become dance writers and critics. But all and all it was a successful evening, new ties were made and I am excited to be able to share Mocean and Moore with these promising individuals.
