Master Class Series with Gwen Ritchie Hunter
The Kelly Strayhorn Theater presents a master class series to connect pre-professional and professional dancers with important contemporary choreographers. This is an opportunity for the Pittsburgh dance community to learn from local seasoned dance professionals and visiting artists presenting new contemporary work at the Kelly Strayhorn Theater. Designed for professional and pre- professional dancers to explore their fullest potential through movement, this series includes material from varied somatic practices and at times leaves space for improvisation, giving an opportunity to access and cultivate presence. Explore the use of weight and momentum, clarity of initiation, pathways of energy through the body and space, and breath as a vehicle for timing and phrasing. Special guest choreographers are announced throughout the season.
Gwen Ritchie Hunter received her dance training at SUNY Purchase, and graduated with a B.A. in Dance from the University of South Florida. She has danced with companies including: Dance Exchange (DC), Lower Left Dance (San Diego), Kevin Wynn Collection (NYC), and Pennsylvania Dance Theatre. Gwen was dancer and assistant to the director at Malashock Dance and Company (San Diego) before dancing with Dance Alloy, 1998-2003. She served as Artistic Director of Laboratory Company Dance (LABCO) until 2009. Dance Alloy Theater, James Madison University, and University of Pittsburgh have commissioned her choreography.
