Well, it is that glorious time of year again here in NYC... SUMMER!! A time when people travel from not just all over the Unites States, but the entire globe, to take class and train from some of the most influential and challenging teachers in dance today. Growing up and travelling to New York, I remember the awe and mystique that came along with taking a class at Broadway Dance Center or STEPS. Boy, did I have to build up the courage to even walk in the door, much less stand (and dance) beside the lead in Broadway shows or the principal soloists from Contemporary Companies I had long admired. Needless to say there is a history and prestige that comes from taking these classes, and now that I am on faculty teaching at STEPS with my own classes, I realise the responsibility and honour it is to be among such an incredible lineage.

Over the years of working in so many different genres of dance, I always found comfort in the fact that at any time and in any place, I could find a dance class to take. In that room I went back to being a student and remembered all the incredible reasons why I loved what I do. The freedom, the artistry, the passion, the hunger, the desire to move and inspire those around me. It was a perfect place to get revitalised when I was feeling down or exhausted from daily life. Better yet, I found a new motivation to try something I have never done before! African, Swing, the multitude of Hip Hop, etc. I never even entertained the idea of not taking class, especially in an art form that is ever changing and developing. I express in every class I teach, the reasons why I am so drawn to CONTEMPORARY dance as my ultimate form of expression. No, it isn't because it is trendy, that is just pure circumstance. It is because it's a form of dance with NO RULES, NO BOUNDARIES, NO LIMITATIONS, AND EVEN NO "NO'S". If you know what I mean!! A perfect blend of past, present, and future movement, utilising all kinds of music and sound, or even none at all... SILENCE. How often do we stop and listen, just listen, without comment or judgement? That is the endless world of Contemporary dance to me. The only way to stay in this magical realm is to train, study, communicate, and exchange with other artists in our world. This is class, and it is always there for you. When you are lonely. When you are sad. When you have just recovered from an injury that could have possibly taken your entire career away and you at only 20. When you are the happiest you have ever been because you just got that audition that 1000 other people showed up for. When you are in love. When you are hungry for new inspiration. When you want to relive the 80's. When you haven't gotten a gig in months. When you want to learn the latest steps. When you hear of a teacher that has the gifts to change your life with just a few words. When you can't think of any other way to express yourself from the inside out! The list is endless and so are the amount of opportunities there are to take class. So search out those teachers and facilities that provide this treasure to you, and the next time you are in NYC, grab that eternal student within you and come to CLASS!! I will be waiting ;)

I will be at STEPS on Broadway for the next 6 months but also teaching in many parts of Canada and the U.S. Don't think I have forgotten about you Sydney!! I will hopefully be back in Jan. '09 so keep up to date by checking out my web page for dates and details. http://web.mac.com/wintersjason

Construct is a sharp, rigorous and curious look at the concept of ‘building'. It starts with an empty theatre full of possibility - a space in which to construct. Effortlessly shifting between the physical act of building and the emotional construction of lives, Liedtke explores with wicked humour the curious connections between building a home, a life, a relationship, and a future.

construct was choreographer Tanja Liedtke's final work, It was commissioned by London's Southbank Centre and premiered there to critical acclaim in May 2007 followed by a U. K. tour; and sell out performances at the 2008 Sydney Festival.

The work won two Helpmann Awards in 2008: Best Choreography (Tanja Liedtke) and Best Male Dancer (Paul White).

In August 2007, at the age of 29, Liedtke was accidentally killed in a road accident. She had been about to take up the prestigious position of Artistic Director of Sydney Dance Company.

As a child, all I had my eyes set on was being a professional dancer. It's always been my chosen profession and it's kept me earning cash for the last 12 years. What I had no idea to expect though was the thrilling, and unusual nature of the lifestyle that comes with.

As an independent contemporary dancer in Australia I have a life that I love, and I wanted to share with you a little about this exciting way of living.

To start with, the contemporary dance industry is very different from the commercial scene. Most contemporary dancers don't have agents to represent them and employment is usually based on reputation. As an example, even though I've been working almost non-stop since, the last audition I went to was in 2004 in Paris for DV8 Physical Theatre in London.

Mostly a choreographer will see you performing and contact you to be in their next show. Projects and shows are scheduled months, sometimes years in advance. At the moment I am scheduled to work with six different choreographers, on seven different shows, in four different countries all the way up until January 2010!

A show can take up to six months full time to create, and can be spread out over a year or two. Currently, Meryl Tankard and I are making a solo work that won't be performed until May next year, which we started work on in April this year!

Shows are mostly funded by the government, and are approved by an application process. Each year there are a number of funding rounds. Approval can sometimes take months and is never assured, so juggling one's schedule to have consistent work can be an art in itself.

We train a lot. Most projects are run on a full time schedule. Sometimes up to 46 hours of dancing a week. For contemporary dance, we train in classical ballet, modern, acrobatics, yoga, and quite often specialist classes in a particular martial art or dance style.

We also travel more than most professionals I know. Up until two months ago, I hadn't signed a housing lease since 2003! I'd been living in hotels and accommodation all over Australia and Europe. For example in May and June of this year, I lived in Scotland whilst creating a show with a company there. Depending on the contract, employers usually pay for my accommodation, travel, and also pay my wage plus a daily allowance for food etc. Pretty good deal huh!

Although it's exciting to travel so much and work with many different people, it can take it's toll. My suitcases wear out, I sometimes get sick of not being able to cook in my own kitchen, or use my own laundry and I am always having to say goodbye to great friends. Now I still travel all the time, but I have a great house to come home to.

I hope this has given a little insight into what it's like as a professional contemporary dancer. If you want to know anything else - just be in touch.

Until next time,
Paul White.

Ikin Dance is a well established organisation owned and directed by SYTYCD star Anthony Ikin. It provides dance and fitness programs for young people, industry professionals, and for those who just love to dance and get fit for life.

Our next On The Couch With Christine interview was with the ever so talented STEPHEN PAGE from Bangarra.

Australia's most successful Indigenous dance company, the critically acclaimed Bangarra Dance Theatre is celebrating its 20th Anniversary in 2009 with a national and international program of electrifying and innovative contemporary dance.

To celebrate Bangarra's 20th Anniversary milestone, Stephen has created a retrospective work called FIRE, featuring the most memorable and compelling elements of the company's repertoire during its extraordinary 20-year journey. The work traces Bangarra from its modest beginnings to its current status as an enormously respected and lauded dance company around the world.

Visit http://www.bangarra.com.au for more details. Show kicks off in Wollongong on 20th August.

Born in Brisbane, Stephen is a descendant from the Nunukul people and the Munaldjali clan of the Yugambeh tribe from southeast Queensland. Stephen danced with the Sydney Dance Company until 1991 when he was appointed Artistic Director of Bangarra Dance Theatre. With his works, Praying Mantis Dreaming, Ninni, and Ochres, Stephen established milestones for Australian dance. In 1996, Stephen made his creative debut with The Australian Ballet, choreographing Alchemy. The following year, he brought The Australian Ballet and Bangarra together in Rites, to Stravinskys Rite of Spring. The following year Stephen choreographed Fish for Bangarra, with its world premiere at the Edinburgh International Festival.

Stephen choreographed the flag handover ceremony for the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games and co-directed segments of the ceremonies of the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. He also created the ceremony that opened the Olympic Arts Festival. Stephen also choreographed Skin, which premiered at the festival and won the coveted Helpmann Award for Best New Australian Work and Best Dance Work. Stephens triple bill Corroboree toured internationally, in a sell-out tour of the US with appearances at BAM in New York and Washingtons Kennedy Centre. This work earned Stephen the Helpmann Award for Best Choreography. The following year, Stephen was honoured with the Matilda Award for his contribution to the arts in Queensland and choreographed Totem for The Australian Ballets principal dancer, Stephen Heathcote. 2002 also saw the world premiere of Bangarras double bill, Walkabout which Stephen co-choreographed with Frances Rings.

Stephen and Frances Rings later co-choreographed Bush for Bangarra that sold out on its Australian tour as well as its 2004 tour to the United States. Also in 2004 Bangarra returned to the Sydney Opera House with another sell-out production co-choreographed by Stephen and Frances, Clan. The following year Stephen choreographed Boomerang for a sell-out Australian tour.

As Artistic Director of the 2004 Adelaide Festival of the Arts, Stephen was praised for reinvigorating the event with an impressive and highly successful world-class program. Stephens film and theatre credits include the contemporary operatic film Black River, numerous music video clips and most recently directing his own brother David Page in the highly acclaimed one-man show Page 8 which toured the UK.

In 2006 Stephen and The Australian Ballet created Gathering, a double bill consisting of a reworked Rites and Amalgamate. Also in 2006, Queensland Art Gallery director asked Stephen to create a new dance work for the opening of the Gallery of Modern Art. Stephen, along with his son and nephews, created Kin, a special project that opened Asia-Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art.

In 2007 Stephen directed a spectacular traditional smoking ceremony in honour of the historic celebration marking the 75th anniversary of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Later this year, during Bangarras True Stories season, Stephen directed Victorian Operas Orphee and Eurydice in Melbourne and presented another sell-out season of Kin at the Malthouse Theatre.

In 2008 Stephen was named NSW Australian of the Year, receiving the award from Deputy Premier John Watkins in a ceremony at the Art Gallery of NSW.

In 2008 Stephen Page created for Bangarra a brand new, full-length work Mathinna (Best Dance Work and Best Choreography 2009 Helpmann Awards); an engaging production inspired by a young Tasmanian girls journey between two cultures.
Later in 2008 Stephen set off for Broome, WA as Choreographer on the film adaptation of Bran Nue Dae.

In 2009, after taking the dancers to Arnhem Land for cultural reconnection, Stephen celebrates Bangarras 20th Anniversary with Fire A Retrospective.

Hello DanceLife Readers,

Clint has asked me to join DanceLife as a blogger so to kick it off I thought it necessary to introduce myself and give you a little background info on where I've popped up from.

I am a 25 year old performer, choreographer, and lecturer. I grew up in Mackay Queensland and did most of my dance training with Lynette Denny at Theatre Arts Mackay. I've now studied Classical Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Contemporary, National Dance, Acrobatics, and Voice for twenty one years.

In my twelve years of professional dance I've worked in many different fields. From the commercial industry with Robert Sturrock and Jupiters Casino in my early years, to more recent employment in physical theatre companies like DV8 Physical Theatre, London.

Other career highlights include international touring with Australian Dance Theatre, performing a DV8 theatre piece at the London National Theatre (Madonna who loved it so much bought one of the duets for her tour!) and collaborating and performing around the world with my dear friend Tanja Liedtke who was last year appointed the director of Sydney Dance Company, not long before she passed away.

Aside from performing, teaching is another of my passions. In the past few years I've taught for ADT, Bangarra Dance Theatre, Ausdance NSW, Australian College of Physical Education and many more including teaching workshops alongside So You Think You Can Dance star, Anthony Ikin.

This year has been a chocka-block, great year for me. For a show named construct which I performed at the Sydney Festival, I was awarded the 2008 Helpmann Award for Best Male Dancer in a dance or dance theatre production, and for a piece named Honour Bound the 2008 Australian Dance Award for Best Performance by a Male Dancer July 2006 - December 2007.

The rest of my 2008 and 2009 are already scheduled with some exciting commercial and theatre projects which I will be sharing about in future blogs.

Also in my blogging I'll be keeping you up-to-date with some of what's going on in Australian contemporary dance, sharing about the process of creating theatre works, as well as interviewing lots of Australia's best contemporary choreographers and dancers!

Until next time,

Paul White

DanceLife spoke with choreographer and dancer Stephen Agisilaou one year ago just before he headed over to the States. Stephen, one of Melbourne's most sort after Contemporary Jazz teachers has created his own dance company ‘Vertical Shadows. Vertical Shadows a contemporary jazz company is Australia's newest company dedicated to giving work to the contemporary jazz industry. Using the word contemporary jazz very loosely Vertical Shadows explores many different styles and entertainment avenues.

Having worked in the USA and Canada with professional contemporary company's Stephen is in heaven being able to bring VS to the forefront of Australian dance. "Through the company I am dedicated to giving the dancers of Australia a challenging place to expel their uncontrollable need to perform and create" Stephen said.

Vertical Shadows next show ‘Foreign Contaminant' is the second show from the company this year, a full-length contemporary piece about the environment's ever-changing problems. The story is about the environments struggles with a sci-fi twist. "We are guided by the theme of nature, humans and aliens". This show recently won 2 awards including the Ian White Management award for BEST CHORRYOGRAPHY.

The Show is premiering August 5th and runs for 3 nights. For information about Vertical Shadows, Auditions and tickets please visit www.verticalshadows.com

Following on the success of his first production SKIN in February this year, 'OM!' is the brain child of Director & Choreographer Robert Sturrock, who conceived the show as an avenue to showcase and highlight the talents of the Melbourne contemporary and lyrical dance community. Under the umbrella of his successful company Industry Dance, (which incorporates a full time professional development course for adult performers , junior school for youth and booking agency for floorshows and commercial/corporate work) Robert held various auditions in April this year to find an assortment of Melbourne's hottest dancers for the second instalment of what he hopes will continue as regular dance theatre events. The long term aim of the experiment is to create a dancers company that will stage various showcases and performances each year while creating paid work for dancers in a very competitive industry and allowing them to share their passion with the wider community.

The Cast of OM! Includes: Alexander Bryan, Rebecca Cardamone, Danni De Rose, Bec Fairey, Fran Grossi, Emily Hall, Lauren Heeney, Mauro Melim, Reid Monks, Natalie McIntosh, Clinton Pearce, Mandy Savickas, Ryan Schrader and Hayley Uberti

Contemporary dance works by Martin del Amo and Vicki Van Hout and a film by Eva Fernandez Adan/Rachael Brown.

In response to the need for rehearsal venues and regular opportunities to create and perform, this unique collective of professional Sydney-based dancers came together in 2005 to form DirtyFeet. The company continues today as a Not for Profit organisation driven by two of the founding members, Anthea Doropoulos and Sarah Fiddaman.

DirtyFeet represents a new form of Dance Company: Designed by dancers, about dancers, for dancers. Sydney's independent dance scene is getting its feet dirty! DirtyFeet's sold-out debut season in 2008, Under the Weather, was nominated for Australian Dance Awards in three categories. Following the success of the season, DirtyFeet now presents Tipping Point. The show will feature new short works by acclaimed choreographers Vicki Van Hout and Martin del Amo and a film by Eva Fernandez Adan/Rachael Brown.

Vicki Van Hout, known for her signature fusion of indigenous dance and contemporary techniques, returns to DirtyFeet with Pack, a piece exploring the dynamics surrounding animal packs and the comparisons we can draw in our own lives.

Independent dance artist Martin del Amo is probably best known for his full-length solos integrating idiosyncratic movement with intimate storytelling. In his first work for DirtyFeet, The Reset Quintet, he has created an intriguing dance piece for 5 performers that looks at what happens when we start a fresh, wipe the slate clean so to speak. Or do we only think we do? Won't there always be traces of
what has gone before?

Founding DirtyFeet member, Eva Fernandez Adan and video artist Rachael Brown have collaborated to create the latest chapter of Pieces of Mind (featured at "Short Sweet and Dance" and "Under the Weather") for film. A powerful work that features Adan's passion for high energy dynamic dance combined with Brown's intricate understanding of movement on screen, Pieces of Mind creates a physical language for a personal journey that will resonate and remain with every audience member.

Tipping Point is an exciting foray into the world of contemporary dance, enabling the realisation of new Australian dance works and showcasing the talents of Australia's independent dance artists.

Performance Space present the premiere in Sydney of Bromance as the final work in our You Are Here May-June season at CarriageWorks from 2-5 June 2010. Bromance is a full- length dancework co-choreographed by Alisdair Macindoe and Adam Synott which explores the life-long negotiation of trust, rivalry and responsibility that is built from childhood between brothers.

The work draws from the experiences of Macindoe and Synott growing up in Australia, and questions why the platonic love between brothers, which so powerfully defines a child's relationshipto the world, is not often celebrated in art and literature. In Australia where men's relationships are generally depicted as romantic affairs or business interactions, Bromance explores how men are at risk when opening up a discourse on love between brothers.

Macindoe and Synnott are joined on stage by Jay Robinson and Lee Serle, who use movement to explore the memories and influences of having a brother, and the profound affect it has on young men entering adulthood.

Nominated for a Green Room award for his 2008 solo show, Pay No Attention To The Man Behind The Curtain, Macindoe studied dance at Victorian College of the Arts and has worked with Leigh Warren and Dancers, Lucy Guerin Inc. and Chunky Move. Co-choreographer Adam Synott has toured extensively throughout Australia, New Zealand and the US since graduation from the Adelaide Centre for the Arts in 2004, working with the Australian Dance Theatre, Barebones Collective, Leigh Warren and Dancers and numerous other high profile companies. He is currently performing in Chunky Move's Mortal Engine at the Sydney Theatre. Bromance taps into the memories of these two young artists, asking "What is it like for two men to simply love each other?"

Choreography: Alisdair Macindoe and Adam Synnott, Director: Alisdair Macindoe,
Performed by: Alisdair Macindoe, Jay Robinson, Lee Serle and Adam Synnott,
Sound Design: Alisdair Macindoe ,Video Effect Designer: Adam Synnott,
