Join us for our summer intensive/audition at the Mark Morris Dance Center, August 21 to 24 from noon to 2PM. We will be teaching a four-day Intensive for dancers and future company members who want to benefit from Giordano TECHNIQUE and ALIGNMENT and learn excerpts of MCGD REPERTORY. The company is looking for 4 DANCERS (diversity a plus) for season 2018/2019 for a total of 10 paid performances.
The workshop will serve as an immersion into Giordano Alignment. It develops a powerful core in dancers by strengthening the muscles of the trunk, granting them the freedom to explore the full potential of their physical and artistic expression.
Space is limited! You will be working in group of 15 dancers to allow plenty of personal attention.
Please send a headshot, resume, and video clip if available to dancers@mcgdance.org.
"Ms. Giordano is clearly a choreographer committed to constructing a personal dance vocabulary.” -Gia Kourlas, The New York Times.
I am drawn to the visceral movement quality of your work and its attention to detail and precision. I admire the strong importance placed on understanding your specific technique in order to allow your company to have a collective basis in which they move and develop material from. The Giordano technique uses the pelvis, abdominal wall, torso, and trunk muscles as a control center to guide and inform incredibly nuanced movement of subtlety and surrender while also holding the power and stored energy to be explosive and dynamic in range. –Alexa Bender, dancer from Canada
Working with Marie-Christine Giordano and her technique has been one of the most challenging and rewarding dance experiences I have had. The work is raw and comes from an honest natural place while requiring extreme control and accuracy. The movement is not anticipated but rather a result of momentum and design. –Brooke Jones, Former Company member
