FBF - Masterclasses at Copenhagen Contemporary Dance School and a new interview. /  by Charlotte Boye-Christensen

Flashback Friday:

I thoroughly enjoyed teaching at the Copenhagen Contemporary Dance School when I was back in Copenhagen a couple of weeks ago. It is exciting to see the constant creative evolution of this institution.

As part of NOW-ID's ongoing interview series Ne Plus Ultra that shares the stories of artists and designers creating extraordinary, inspiring and impactful work, I was delighted and honoured to interview and share the thoughts of Brian Wakelin.

Brian is an architect and co-founder of design firm Public Architecture, based in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Inspiration. /  by Charlotte Boye-Christensen

I was so impressed and inspired by these beautiful young artists and thoroughly enjoyed working with them over these past two weeks. We premiered this new work CYCLIC last Thursday and Friday at the Rose Wagner Theatre in Salt Lake City.

Thank you and congratulations to Ballet West, Ballet West Academy and Artemotionusa!

I found some much needed inspiration in Cholula, Oaxaca and Mexico City earlier this month... /  by Charlotte Boye-Christensen

Returning to some of my favourite places in Mexico earlier this month was inspiring!

Having worked in Cholula/Puebla and in Mexico City over several years and having developed close friendships and collaborations with local artists, makes going back to all three places incredibly meaningful.

Thank you to our wonderful friends Carlos Arias and Rip Parker for hosting us so beautifully in Cholula.

Mural Installation. /  by Charlotte Boye-Christensen

A cool mural installation created by the tech arts company Future Arts using the inspired choreography by our students at Cornish College of the Arts. The choreography was generated in a collaborative project with the Fine Arts Department.

LINES DRAWN /  by Charlotte Boye-Christensen

A new work that premiered this last weekend at Cornish Playhouse in downtown Seattle.

The work was choreographed in collaboration with my students at Cornish College of the Arts.

Lines Drawn was conceived as if a ritual for an imagined community to move through daily, to repeatedly define their world over and over as if movement created the world, and vice versa.

AND SO WE SOW! /  by Charlotte Boye-Christensen

Cornish. /  by Charlotte Boye-Christensen

I have thoroughly enjoyed this first month of teaching at and heading the dance program at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle. Super engaging and committed students and a wonderful faculty. Cornish has an incredible history with the likes of Merce Cunningham and John Cage setting a tone of interdisciplinarity and collaboration and I am excited to see how we, as a program can lean into that legacy as we are moving the program forward this year…
