The company's outreach programming consists of a variety possibilities. SYREN is capable of teaching master classes to dancers including modern technique, modern partnering, improvisation, composition, and stretch and strengthening. In addition to formal technique classes, SYREN is open to offering movement classes and workshops to non-dancers ranging from toddlers to adults and actors to business professionals. Please contact SYREN if you would like further information about our Outreach Programming.
Kate Mehan and Lynn Peterson offer an exciting opportunity, as they are available to team teach any of the above classes as well as offer SYREN repertory workshops or guest master classes. Their modern technique class is loosely Limon influenced, exploring juicy upper-body expansion, under and over curves, weight transfers, and more - all designed to encourage dynamically physical, musically intelligent, captivating dancers.
