THE MALASHOCK DANCE SUMMER IN SAN DIEGO WORKSHOP was a major success. 35 dance students and professionals from around the country joined Malashock Dance Summer Workshop Faculty John Malashock, Michael Mizerany, Julianne O’Brien Pedersen and Joe Alter for two weeks of technique classes, repertory classes and new works classes.

This year, the Summer Workshop Concert was performed at The Saville Theater on the campus of City College. Over 100+ dance lovers, family & friends attended the show which featured new works by John Malashock (Collision Course), Michael Mizerany (Billet-Doux) and Joe Alter (Etude 1a. & 1b.). Also included were two sections from LOVE & MURDER (Lovely Creature & People Ain’t No Good). As an extra bonus, Molly Puryear performed her solo, NEVER THE SAME TWICE, choreographed by Julianne O’Brien Pedersen.

What a privilege it was for us to work with such talented, hard-working students and professionals. They all were truly amazing.
In August, Michael and John begin choreographing their new dances for the fall production. Michael will premiere SINNLICHE BEGIERDE, an evocative new work utilizing the vocals of German counter-tenor Klaus Nomi. John will premiere AFTER DUST, a triptych of duets featuring performances by several Malashock Dance favorites as well as newcomer Theresa Anton. These new works will premiere at the Lyceum Theater in downtown San Diego on October 10 & 11, 2009.
Additionally, Michael has been commissioned by Michigan Dance Collective to create a new work for their fall show. He travels to Traverse City August 22nd – August 29th to start initial choreography and teach several master classes.
