Dear Arts Center Friends,

Welcome to the spring course and events catalog. This edition announces classes and workshops beginning in March through May, exhibitions during that period, and audi-tions for summer shows. Also, we are thrilled to introduce a quartet of visual artists whose show VIM (as in vim and vigor) runs into March. Ben Ahlvers, Archie Scott Gob-ber, Lisa Lala, and Kent Michael Smith are also headlining our benefit auction exhibition. Don’t miss the April 13 benefit.

In late 2012, we learned that the Lawrence Arts Center had received a National Endow-ment for the Arts grant in the area of Artists Communities. With this award, the NEA has acknowledged our commitment to supporting the work of artists through our performance, exhibitions, arts education, and artists-in-residency programs. In mid-January, we learned that we have been short-listed for a national creative placemaking award from ArtPlace.

Our vision includes the most vibrant connections with our partners from private, non-profit, and community sectors. We believe that financial, human, and artistic investment in creative places animates public and private spaces, improves livability and safety, enhances the economy, brings diverse people together, and makes a place a better place to live. Thank you for being part of this work.

D E F I N I N G M O D E R N D A N C E In this explosive age of dance, there are as many styles of dance as there are names. The Lawrence Arts Center School of Dance has chosen to use the terms “contemporary modern” because we feel it better reflects the purpose and creativity we want for our program. We encourage the “new dance” to emerge from every child combined with rigorous technique to give them strength and flexibility to articulate their movement. With this new vision, we are finalizing a contemporary modern curriculum for danc-ers and parents to view as they choose what classes will best fit their needs.

Modern dance has a long tradition of innovation, forward thinking, creativity, and at times rebelliousness. Over the past decade modern dance has been redefined. In an article in this December’s Dance Magazine, many influential dancers and chore-ographers of our time discuss contemporary dance as a stronger term for today’s innovative dance forms. Today, the term “modern dance” actually refers to the works of Graham, Horton, Cunningham, Limón, Nickolais, and other early innovators in the field. Martha Graham, while considered one of the world’s foremost modern dancers of her time, always called her school Martha Graham School for Contemporary Dance. She understood that her art was new, what was happening now.

COMPREHENSIvE TECHNICAL TRAINING based on the major disciplines of dance: ballet, modern dance, jazz, and tap.

SuPERIOR INSTRuCTION that builds the knowledge, strength, flexibility and coordination appropriate for each discipline.

EXPLORATION AND ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS during the summer and throughout the year, developing dancers as thinking artists.
