" Lauryn Maloney by Morgan Queal There's a new dance troupe in Park City, and enthusiasmand en-thusiasmand spontaneity are high among its members. It's called The Company Dance, and although none of the dancers is experienced in the art, they're high on energy and creativity. "We're working on opening up to spontaneous movement, allowing each person to form his own creative style in dance," said Lauryn Maloney, the group's leader who has been teaching body awareness classes in Park City this fall. The five men and five women who make up the troupe, she said, have had minimal dance experience, and none has ever performed perform-ed in public. "We're all learning," Maloney said. "We're working on being uninhibited in our movement. It's an ex periential approach to making a positive statement in movement." Maloney, who has a degree in the creative performing arts from Franklin-Pierce College in New Hampshire, got the group together through personal contact. They set up a high-commitment high-commitment work-out schedule four nights a week, two to two and a half hours each night, using the dance room in the Memorial Building. After just a month of rehearsals, the dancers already are moving together with grace and style and creativity. They start each session with stretching exercises, exer-cises, then change to slow body movements to music. Soon the dancers are all over the room, using their bodies with uninhibited expression, like an abstract painter uses a brush. But each dancer is not alone in 1iis movement. Each is conscious of the actions ac-tions of the others, using them to enhance his or her own motions. "Sensitivity and awareness are the keys. We tune into the environment set up by the group. "The main theme," Maloney said, "is sharing. We're being open and sharing as opposed to being competitive or egotistical. It's a humbling experience. We're all an equal part of the group." The eventual goal, she said, is to share these concepts con-cepts with others. The group would like to perform locally hopefully in December or January. "The statement we want to make is that one can explore and understand oneself through learning in the arts. We want people to enjoy watching us enjoying ourselves." Maloney has plans for forming a second group later in the year. The current 10 members are persons she had worked with previously. All are active and sports-minded, sports-minded, but their only qualification is a commitment commit-ment to shed inhibitions and dance 10 to 12 hours a week. Everybody is chipping in to pay for the facility and to promote the performance. Maloney herself isn't paid. She said anyone is welcome to come and watch the troupe rehearsing. They meet Mondays and Thursdays, Thurs-days, 8:15 to 10:15 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays, 6 to 8 p.m. Maloney also will be teaching classes for the general public starting Nov. 1, in improvisational dance, Hatha Yoga and stretch and tone. Those interested can check with the Park City Recreation Department on class times. 3 ti STEIN ERIKSEN LODGE THECACHE&nSII VER BIRD "5.
