Sean McLeod - New York Dance Festival - "Time" 2011

In this movement of a larger work, American Choreographer Sean McLeod explored the simple connection "Time" and "Love" have on people. Working with many dancers of different dance levels (novice to professional), and challenging himself to work within the parameters of setting this dance only hours before curtain the same day, Sean exercised his ability to remove ego and trust the dancers ability to deliver the Intension of this work, and not just the polish of dance based in "Spectacle," turns, and jumps.

The New York Dance Festival is a unique dance experience whose original foundation was constructed by Sean McLeod to champion empowering women and build their self esteem. At the Festival women and men of all ages work in an environment where consistent focus is given to correcting the tradition that a person has to be broken by the industry before they can find their greatness. The New York Dance Festival has locked emotional development and good mental health into the DNA of its dance offering. Good dancing is not our goal, it is our vehicle.
