Blog: Summer Intensive 2023!

BodyStories: Teresa Fellion Dance presents our Summer Intensive 2023!

Our Summer Intensive is open to all movers, as well as professional and pre-professional dancers. Classes throughout the intensive are taught by Teresa Fellion, BodyStories company members, and other guest artists! In addition to the various activities we have planned for you during our summer intensive, you may also have the time to be creative and work on projects of your own! During last year’s Summer Intensive, participants had a blast creating a dance film and their own choreography under Teresa’s mentorship.

This year, our Summer Intensive is planned slightly differently. We will hold 2 sessions – Session 1 will be held at our Middlebrook Arts Research + Residency Center in Jefferson, NY from July 20-23, 2023 and Session 2 will be held in New York City from July 25-26, 2023. Both these sessions continue our mission of unleashing creativity and empowering dancers. During the 4 day long intensive, artists will take part in a variety of classes taught by Teresa Fellion, BodyStories company members, and guest artists. The workshop in New York City will continue and build on our explorations from the Upstate Intensive. Through both these opportunities, participants will have the opportunity to perform with the company in a NYC performance on August 11th and 12th.
