The Music Center's Artsource® Curriculum Remy Charlip

Remy Charlip Artsource Unit

The Woolloomooloo Cuddle

Remy Charlip, dancer, choreographer, writer, artist, director and innovator, changed people's perception of dance.  He made dances about everything in life, including a "taking a shower" or 'lying in bed" dance.  Remy helped people see the ordinary events of our lives as possibilities for expression and whimsy.  He evolved unique approaches to creating dances, including his imaginary "Radio Dance" and "Air Mail Dances" (of which The Wooloomooloo Cuddle is one).  The lessons focus on techniques for imaginative dance-making accessible to everyone.  The central theme is Transformation of the ordinary into the extraordinary.
