Save the last dance...for Knox. Renowned dance choreographer to run classes in Knox.
| | | |
| First it was the Melbourne Male Choir, and now it’s renowned dance choreographer Jodie Farrugia who’s calling Knox Community Arts Centre home. Knox Community Arts Centre Coordinator, Richard Mitchell, said he was delighted to welcome Jodie Farrugia, one of Australia’s leading dance artists, to the centre.
“A choreographer, director, dance educator and community artist, who’s worked with Jason Coleman’s Ministry of Dance, Circus Oz, Deakin University and The Victorian College of the Arts, Jodie is at the top of her game in this industry,” Richard said. “Her choreographic talents have been in demand throughout Australia over the past 15 years and we’re extremely excited that Jodie has decided to move to Knox and call the Arts Centre home. Jodie has a deep understanding of the intrinsic worth of dance within the community and we’re eager to make use of her experience to expand dance opportunities for people in Knox.”
Beginning in August, Jodie will run a series of dance classes at Knox Community Arts Centre. These classes will focus on release contemporary dance techniques, exploring the body’s natural momentum to find dynamic and efficient ways to move. Classes will be a combination of floor work, travelling sequences and jumps, set to music.
“Jodie’s classes are sure to bring something exceptional out in our Knox dancers, whether they’re beginners or more experienced,” Richard said. “Her classes will be a fun and creative way to increase fitness, flexibility, strength, as they combine contemporary dance technique and acrobatics. The direction of dance in Knox is in safe hands with the wealth of experience Jodie has to offer.”
