The 2013 Swamp Dance Fest, co-directed by Neta Pulvermacher and Tzveta Kassabova, is a transformative four‐week dance intensive intended for pre‐professional and professional dancers ages 16 through college and professional dancers/choreographers, who study with cutting edge artists in residence, and engage in a collaborative creative process. The festival combines a rigorous schedule of classes, rehearsals and performances, artist talks, seminars and special projects. This summer world renowned artists David Dorfman, Lisa Race (NYC), Tiffany Rhynard (Maine), and the Shua Group (NJ) will join UF’s visiting assistant professor Tzveta Kassabova for the Swamp Dance Fest!. This summer the artists will collaborate with local visual artists Tim Elverston and Ruth Whiting of windfiredesigns.com, who design huge kites for installations and outdoor events. They will be designing the environment(s) for the final performance of the new works, created during Swamp Dance Fest! with the participants of the festival.

The University of Florida School of Theatre and Dance will hold a five-day workshop designed to teach students the skills to create improvised scenes.  This intensive will give participants the same kind of Chicago-style training taken by generations of comic performers including the casts of Saturday Night Live, The Office, Whose Line Is It Anyway, as well as writers for television shows and comedy films.  Improvisation is beneficial for performers of any level seeking to challenge themselves and broaden their skills but it is just as valuable for non-performers.   Students of business and law have found that it develops strong focus, better listening, thinking on your feet, creativity, team-building, and fearlessness. Open to UF students and non-students age 16 and over.  Enrollment is limited.

Written by Neil Simon; Directed by Judith Williams.

Set in 1937 Brooklyn, Neil Simon’s beloved comedy offers a semi-autobiographical glimpse into the life of a Jewish-American family through the eyes of 15-year-old Eugene Jerome. Brighton Beach Memoirs is a poignant coming-of-age story of Eugene’s encounters with a crowded household, an imminent war, and most excitingly, girls.
