Contemporary Dance Class | Cunningham based technique (full class live stream)

In this video you can follow along with our 3rd year students' contemporary dance class. Live streaming of Kate Price's first year undergraduate Cunningham Based Technique class, accompanied by Giuliano Modarelli and Stefano Ancora.
The technique emphasises clarity of form, coordination of torso and legwork, rhythmic accuracy, spatial awareness and virtuosity. You work on flexibility of the spine and legs are used either in coordination or opposition to one another.

Yes the Place. I was there in the 80's. Cunningham technique was wonderful as was Merce.

I loved the music used in this class!!! Great Class as well!

[@theplace]

Glad you enjoyed it!

@@theplace Yeah, I accompany classes as well -- this is mellow and a great vibe. Well done.

[@NYCHeartandSoul]

Really nice combinations and dancing. Lovely to watch. Why the change in the traditional bounces on 8 warm up?

[@theplace]

Hi Stephan thank you so much for your comment! This is a 'Cunningham-based' technique class, so it moves away slightly from the tradition.

[@karenmaciver1369]

I'm always interested in the 'feel' from straight to swing rhythm. There's one tiny push on percussion during the intro that SO subtly changes the feel of this music. When I'm teaching improv (in music for dance) we often discuss this finer point. Any thoughts anyone?!

Meravigliosi !!!

[@theplace]

Thank you!

[@zoesolanki961]

The video skips a lot, it must have been buffering when recorded maybe?

[@theplace]

Hi Zoe sorry about the buffering! This is a recording from a live stream so potentially there are points where it does that. We hope it's still useful for you!

[@zoesolanki961]

@@theplace Super helpful!! Would love more Cunningham recordings if available...

[@ironfront9573]

Can anyone recommend a playlist of atmospheric music like this for dancing to ?

[@oliviadavis3071]

This is a wonderful class! Is there a reason it keeps skipping bits throughout the video?

[@theplace]

Hi Olivia glad you are enjoying this video! This is an unedited live stream of a full class so there shouldn't be any bits missing. Perhaps try pausing the video to let it load a little? Hope that helps!

[@emmawilliams9493]

hello! can you let me know what music it is you're playing? thanks so much!

[@theplace]

Hi Emma thank you for your comment! All LCDS classes are accompanied by live musicians in this case the musicians are Giuliano Modarelli and Stefano Ancora.

[@xavierf.s.9969]

Amazing technic! How's the name of the first song? 🤔

[@theplace]

Thank you Xavier! Our classes are accompanied by live musicians who play a mixture of their own written work and improvised music. The musicians playing in this video are Giuliano Modarelli and Stefano Ancora. Sorry we couldn't answer your question directly! :)

[@rocioayllon3935]

so upsetting trying to follow this class, while the editing of the video make jumps constantly

[@theplace]

Hi Rocio sorry that you are having trouble with this video. This was a live stream so it may be jumping because of that. If you go to this playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PL6Uiuyw6SX8oiwfr_U1Q7JJ5v51ey7Mfd you will find all our classes and taster sessions that have been recorded for online use and hopefully you will be able to find something that you like in there! :)
