Guest guest Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 I was lucky enough to attend Bill ' 70th Birthday Concert in April. Since then, dancestudiolife has created a miniseries about Bill. about himhttp://www.dancestudiolife.com/dancelife-tv-viewer-guideYou can also read billevansdance.org or at Wikipedia. From WikipediaOne of his foremost achievements has been the creation of a modern dance technique that emphasizes total mind-body integration and that has influenced numerous dancers and dance teachers since 1976.Bill has been the recipient of numerous grants and awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship and thirteen fellowships and grants from the National Endowments for the Arts. In 2004, he was selected, along with Savion Glover and Bufalino, as one of three favorite national tap dance artists in the 2004 Dance Magazine Readers Choice Poll. In 2005, received the National Dance Education Organization's Lifetime Achievement award.What they haven't mentioned is that he will be receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award in August from Dance Magazine and that Bill will be teaching Laban Movement Analysis at Kinections, June 7-10. Everyone who took the course with Bill last year raved about it. I can't promise that you will have this opportunity again. So grab it, while you can. You can meet him in the miniseries at http://www.dancestudiolife.com/dancelife-tv-viewer-guideI had fun seeing the clips from the April concert. Bill is not just a tapper. He is a beautiful modern dancer, a talented choreographer, and a gem of a person.Write to me asap to register for this 4-day intensive where you will learn the Bill ' Approach to LMA.
