Cori’s Corner: Collaboration Cal Anderson Park 4th of July, collaboration, Jody Kuehner, Shannon Stewart, Velocity Dance Center

Collaboration with the community and all its doers and thinkers is at the center of any The Adventure School event. On July 3, 2010, 25 neighbors who attended our community Independence Day Celebration in Cal Anderson Park in Seattle found themselves participating in a dance research project with dancers Shannon Stewart and Jody Kuehner. These 25 people agreed to be part of a new research project about dance and were the first pool of specimen. “Raw data has not yet been fully analyzed for new movement discoveries, but initial observations are promising”, said Shannon Stewart. Watch the results of this exciting new research.

Some more information about the two investigators/instigators of this dance investigation: Jody Kuehner is a dance artist and choreographer living in Seattle. Currently, she is exploring a new character named Cherdonna who is one half of a duet called The Cherdonna and Lou Show. Jody joined the Pat Graney Company in 2008. She has presented choreography at On The Boards, Velocity Dance Center, University of South Florida and the Joyce SoHo NYC. Modern dancer and community leader Shannon Stewart is currently CEO at Movement Projects and Development Director at Velocity Dance Center. She has recently been the Founder, and Past Director at All-ages Movement Project, as well as the Co-Founder, Program Director & Talent Buyer of the Vera Project.

Cori’s Corner: Adventures in Photoland! Velocity Dance Center

Aviva and Erin have hit the road to hang with their families and the rest of the team is here in the 206 keeping it real adventure-y. This week we worked long and hard. For example, I reformatted all the events in the events section. Check ‘em out. They are all thumbnail-y now. So, with photo-formatting on my mind please admire the beauty and grandeur of the Velocity Dance Center community in the following photos by James Moes. See many many more photos on our Super Secret Client Back-end.
