​
​OGD CURRICULUM
OGD TECHNIQUE
Using principles of weight, momentum, and energetic connection into our space, we will explore movement that is virtuosic and complex. We will honor the space we are in as well as transform it using items shipped to us through our OGD Box. Items will influence and affect movement explorations and physical ideas throughout the week breaking open our movement practice and challenging our personal patterns. Using contemporary and improvisational movement investigation we will explore width, height, and length in new ways. Participants are encouraged to explore their own decision making process in interpreting, executing, and ultimately transforming the movement material.

OGD REPERTORY
Participants will dive deep into different OGD choreographic works, learning select unison choreography as well as working in small groups to take on solo material from the originating company member. There will be digital downloads provided to accompany this class which will allow for the unique experience of synthesizing repertory alongside exclusive performance/rehearsal material. These sections will be performed for one another on the final day of the intensive.

CREATIVE LAB SERIES
The Creative LAB will feature a collaborative class atmosphere engaging pivotal design and compositional principles at the core of OGD's creative process. Participants will engage as creators alongside OGD collaborators as the company explores and builds new work.
LAYERING THE MOMENT
Music and sound accumulate and reverberate into vibrant landscapes within OGD's canon of work . Spend time with decade-long OGD collaborator and award winning composer Dylan Glatthorn as he breaks open the listening process. This LAB will look at all the different layers of sound that create a single moment and the gravitas of what happens when we treat sound as a dancer in the space. Participants will discover new ways to create and collaborate as they make their own sound scores while also taking part in sonic explorations led by the company.
HARNESSING THE SOLO 
Every new work that Artistic Directors Colette Krogol & Matt Reeves make starts with the creation of a unique solo on each company dancer to further harness their identity and voice within the work. From there, an entire world and movement language opens up as they understand more clearly the physical direction and DNA of the work. In this Creative LAB, get deep inside this process as Colette and Matt lead and ultimately create solos collaboratively with each participant. Explore the unique ways in which movement is generated and manipulated as you step into rehearsal alongside OGD company members. 
DANCERS IN THE DARK 
If you’ve ever seen an OGD work, you have experienced the importance of darkness and light; what is seen and unseen. 
This LAB will feature hands-on opportunities to understand and explore the concepts of performer-driven lighting design for the digital stage. Learn/work alongside brilliant OGD designer and collaborator Peter Leibold as you take on the fundamentals of what it means to design lighting for our personal performance spaces, digital stage, and beyond.
