No Batteries Required: A Show Powered by Sound and Rocketed by Rhythm March 26-April 20, 2012

Our format includes a half-day workshop with the performance. No Batteries Required is suitable for students in Grades 7-9.  We will give students a taste of West African dance traditions and how those have evolved into the popular, urban dance steps of today.  Students will first witness a presentation by our professional performance company, and then they will get to experience the movement (and music!) for themselves. Students will dance away with new rhythms, moves and a good dose of daily activity.

The workshop consists of one 15 minute presentation, and then one workout period with each grade. (In cases of schools with large numbers of students, amendments to this schedule, or two workshops may be required.)

Subterranean Sound Machine 2: The Next Adventure (2010-2011) In November 2010, Three Left Feet finished touring our latest show for elementary students. This show introduced stilt performance into the Three Left Feet repertoire as well included contemporary, jazz, West African doun dancing. We met ants, worms and explored the elements we found underground. Wonder what’s next for elementary students? Well, stick around….

Subterranean Sound Machine (2009-2010) The prequel to the latest, this was our first go at dancing underground. See the Subterranean Sound Machine Poster

Elephant and Coyote (2008-2009) Two seemingly incompatible animals were in for a treat and surprise when they discovered the essence of inclusion, creating community and tolerance. See the Elephant & Coyote Poster
