Dear Friends,​

 

GET OUTTA TOWN!

Malashock Dance had the good fortune of being the company 'in-residence' for the two-week Newport (Rhode Island) Dance Festival produced by Island Moving Company - an extraordinary contemporary ballet company directed by Miki Ohlsen. We got to restage excerpts from our recent work, THE BRIDGE, and spent the first ten days choreographing a new work, SWELLS, on ten Island Moving Company dancers and three from Malashock Dance. All of the work was incredibly well received, and the outdoor festival stage setting felt like a logical next step after our own festival performances here in May. 

The whole experience could not have been better. Working with a large group of incredibly talented and responsive dancers, who were new to me, really pushed me into some exciting uncharted artistic waters. This is what I always hope for when starting new projects. On top of that, it was extra special just to be traveling again, and clearing out the emotional cobwebs that set in over the last year and a half. It reminded me just how fun and moving dance can be. Our plan is to have IMC here in the spring, to perform SWELLS alongside Malashock Dance.

Thanks for the "SWELLS" time, Island Moving Company!

John Malashock, Artistic Director

Dear Friend,

Malashock Dance is buzzing with activity! Our adult classes are being held safely in person, and we are thrilled to offer new contemporary and modern classes for all levels. Children's summer camps and classes are happening now (you can still sign up!) and registration is open for Fall classes, too! 

 This Saturday we hope you will join us for our Community Conversation hosted by Movement Catalyst San Diego from 4 - 6:00 pm. You can read more about it below. Please consider taking 5 to 10 minutes to complete a survey that will help us gain insight about your experiences with us. We are looking forward to a very exciting Fall and beyond! 

Warmly, 

Molly Glynn Puryear, Executive Director

Malashock Dance and Movement Catalyst San Diego invite all dance community members to join us in a community conversation. Our goal is to share experiences in a safe space and to co-create a more equitable dance community.
 
This community forum is an opportunity for the San Diego Dance Community to come together and address, discuss, and learn from each other's experiences in order to move forward as a more equitable dance community. Malashock Dance acknowledges its participation and benefit from systems that have caused harm and is open to hearing your feedback and committed to working together to heal and increase trust. In partnership with Movement Catalyst San Diego, we are hosting this event in order to:
 
● To listen to and acknowledge concerns and gain feedback on ways  Malashock Dance can be a positive ally to the BIPOC dance community.

● To create an opportunity for community members to share their experiences,  feel seen, and heard.

● To hold a clear and mindful conversation sharing ideas openly within the context of program development and resource sharing in the spirit of  collaboration and mutual benefit.

● To offer ideas about moving forward with a more equitable community.

● To receive constructive input on Malashock Dance’s past, present, and future.

● Establish an accountability plan for Malashock Dance to implement better equity practices based on feedback gathered at the community forum.

We hope that this model serves as inspiration for other organizations to facilitate similar conversations and continue to take action to do better for our amazing and diverse community.
