Bosoma Dance Company IntroBoSoma Dance CompanyBoSoma Dance Company was founded in 2003 by Co-Artistic Directors Irada Djelassi and Katherine Hooper. This is a contemporary dance company based in Boston and it combines energetic movements with rigorous athleticism in its performances. The purpose of their dance style is to put performances that are sensitive and relative to contemporary culture by making their dance captivating and educating the community.
This dance company asks from their audience to explore their creativity and their social values through their thought provoking performances and educational programs such as their seasonal “Intensives,” which are workshop classes that take place over a few days. These workshops teach a variety of different disciplines by the companys artistic directors and choreographers. The different areas of dance covered in these workshops include modern, ballet, jazz, yoga, Pilates, improvisation, contemporary, and even physical therapy.
In addition to the intensive workshops, the company also provides the community with “Master Classes” tailored to more advanced dancers. These classes provide a specialized insight into the dance forms that comprise the base of BoSoma choreography. Another type of educational courses provided by BoSoma is the elementary workshop for high school students. There are three two different topics for these sessions, which are Stories in Motion and Math & Science Matters. The topic Stories in Motion focuses on telling a story through dance movement. The topic Math & Science Matters focuses on basic physics and numbers. It introduces students to how choreographic patterns and movements are set by numbers mathematically and how movement is influenced by a dancers understanding of the human anatomy and gravity in order to move through space. The last type of instructional program the company provides is the Lecture Demonstration,
