Beacon Dance Specializes in:
Beacon Dance has a proven track record:
Beacon Dance Touring & Residency Program Beacon Dance is a professional performance organization presenting classes, workshops and performances to the general public. Our work is a series of projects linked to the basic elements of dance: The body, time, space and energy. We design our projects to be interactive experiences with our audiences, to reflect the realities of our time, to occur in unusual spaces and with passionate attention. The programs of Beacon Dance are offered throughout the year. We are based in Decatur, GA, and tour extensively throughout the Southeast. Classes/Workshops The artists of Beacon Dance represent a wealth of experience and expertise in the realm of contemporary dance and performance. We can work directly with you in planning your class(s) or workshop(s), tailoring our services to your specific needs. Listed below are a sampling of just some of the possible classes or workshops that we could bring to your community:
Fee Structure-Classes and Workshops Classes (one instructor): 60 minute-$150 90 minute-$200 Class size is limited to no more than 25 students. Classes are intended for students with a moderate level of dance experience. Workshops (two or more instructors): 30 minute-$150 45 minute-$200 60 minute-$250 90 minute-$400 Workshop size is limited to no more than 40 students. Workshops are intended for students with no or some dancer experience. Performances Beacon Dance is primarily a performance-focused organization. The exciting and innovative performances we can bring to your community fall into two main categories, Current Projects and Recent Projects. Current Project (July, 2006-present) 1906/2006 Beacon Dance seeks to further civic dialogue within the Atlanta metro area around the subjects of oppression and truth-telling, through the act of creating and performing art. Oppression continues to be an ongoing issue facing the Atlanta metro community. Over the course of nine months, Beacon Dance will develop a new evening-length movement-based performance piece entitled 1906/2006. Through a lengthy period of research, creation, development and performance, 1906/2006 will contrast the events leading up to the 1906 Atlanta Race Riot with more current events surrounding the conflict in Iraq. Our project will culminate with an evening-length dance work presented at the Schwartz Center for the Performing Arts, on the Emory University Campus. Recent Projects include: The Mapping Project: You are Here! This multi-year Project investigated the many ways that maps affect our lives, and how we form the maps of our communities. In it’s final year, The Mapping Project brought site-specific performances to twelve parks and nature centers throughout DeKalb County, Georgia. Each performance was video taped and later edited into a twelve-minute dance for the camera. All twelve video pieces are intended to be screened simultaneously in a gallery-like setting as an installation performance. The Elemental Project This four-year project took inspiration from the four elements of water, earth, fire and air, with the focusing of our creative attentions on a specific element in each of the four years.
From Site to ScreenIn this project, commissioned by the Arts Festival of Atlanta in it’s final year at Piedmont Park in Atlanta, GA, the artists of Beacon created a new performance piece incorporating site-specific dance, video-taping of the dance and editing of the videotape into an art installation dance-for-video piece.Fee Structure-Performances: Low-tech school or community performance (approximately 45 minutes) - $500 Evening length (approximately 90 minutes)-$1000-$3500 ResidenciesThe ideal way to experience the creative talents of Beacon Dance involves both class/workshop and performance activities.
