TDM, a division of CRDANCE Company, LLC, continues its highly innovative program of teaching and exploring the history of modern dance and choreography. TDM’s Summer Intensive 2025 takes place in San Lucido (CS). During this week’s intensive, students will gain rare entrée to choreography and dance technique including a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to choreograph a new work, and what it takes to sustain a choreographic work once conceived. The residency offers students a highly focused series of talks about performance and dance techniques with a focus on Italian and American modern dance. Dance technique is an essential component of the Intensive with a special emphasis on interpretation and the skills required to execute modern dance and choreography.

This experience gives students a direct and active working relationship with Artistic Director Caterina Rago. Students will acquire first-hand knowledge of the specific language and thinking that fuels Caterina Rago’s creative process and decision-making. Students will learn to question and interpret dance at a level rarely experienced. For Summer 2025, TDM explores the choreographic repertoire of CRDANCE Company and what it takes to build a dance from the ground up.
