~~~ open rehearsal recap~~~

On April 20, DOTL’s 2020 "Emerging Commissioned NJ Choreographer," (ECNJC) Amber Sloan, for the first time ever, presented her "Open Rehearsal" using the Zoom platform.  We are all following the governmental guidelines to shelter-in-place.  Because of COVID-19, this is our  new normal, and Amber took the charge to present this year's "Open Rehearsal" with different prompts for her dancers and prompted the online audience from Drew University (with instructor and Director of DOTL's ECNJC initiative) class, students from a Montclair State University choreography class and many other guests.  The "Open Rehearsal" has become an annual spring tradition, bringing together DOTL’s "Emerging C NJ Choreographer" with dance students and dance enthusiasts in around the local Montclair community.
​
Watch the "Open Rehearsal" on Facebook Live here

Amber’s emphasis on creating different ways to dance apart and together was an exciting way to drive the conversation. The afternoon's event was a chance to share how she is working with her dancers currently, and to hear responses from the audience. For DOTL, the "Open Rehearsal" is part of our core mission to connect the various dance communities in New Jersey, on our way to presenting the annual fall festival.

SAVE THE DATE!
Amber’s commission will premiere at Dance on the Lawn –
Saturday, September 12 at 3:00pm.

DOTL's "Scenic Summer Gathering" with Savion Glover

7/27/2019

1 Comment

 
Top Tapper Savion Glover and his 14-year-old son Chaney joined us on Thursday evening, July 25, for a conversation in support of Dance on the Lawn. The “Scenic Summer Gathering” was the fourth in a series of outdoor social events marking DOTL’s Sixth Season Campaign.
 
Savion, who made his mark as the lead in Broadway’s “The Tap Dance Kid,” each summer teaches young students at the NJ Performing Arts Center Arts Intensive Program, where he also serves on the organization’s board. NJPAC will present the students at Glover’s revival of “The Tap Dance Kid” in three days of performances beginning Sept 15.
 
“It’s my duty to tell them what’s outside these walls, and give them permission to be free, that it’s ok,” said Glover. According to Laura Marchese, DOTL Managing Director, “This is why we do arts education." Right now, according to Glover, “I am happy to be figuring out my why.”
 
The evening was a fitting celebration of dance as we gear up for the fall festival in September.  Thank you to our hosts Barbara White and Lennon Register, and to the many DOTL supporters who came to this special event.
