ALLIANCE - Part 6: Clara Lofaro

Clara Lofaro, Enforced Arch Clara Lofaro is an astounding performing artist. Her warmth and friendship is prevalent in all that she does. She effortlessly captivates and inspires everyone who graces her presence.

ALLIANCE, Enforced ArchOn April 6th and 7th, Enforced Arch is presenting their latest work, ‘ALLIANCE’ Art & Activism, which features past and current pieces by creative directors James Koroni and Tracey Katof. Clara Lofaro is a member of this project and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have her join us on this adventure! After rehearsal this past week we had an opportunity to ask her a few questions…

How do you as an individual live the 'ALLIANCE' of Art & Activism?

My quest has always been to liberate people and bring one closer to oneself through music. I do this by exposing myself in my songs and voice as honestly as possible; full of flaw and emotion. I also contribute to various organizations that are making a difference by helping people live more whole lives in one capacity or another.

What part of the rehearsal process or subject material did you find most inspiring?

Watching these talented artists come together to create the story behind my song, "Wrinkled $." It was breathtaking. I feel so honored to be involved in this performance and cause.

What did you learn from your experiences that you would like to share with others?

I learned that we all hold the ability to make a difference in our body and community. We are powerful instruments, especially when we join forces.

ALLIANCE - Behind The Scenes

ALLIANCE, Enforced ArchOn April 6th and 7th, Enforced Arch is presenting their latest work, ‘ALLIANCE’ Art & Activism, which features past and current pieces by creative directors James Koroni and Tracey Katof. Here's a few moments from behind the scene. Enjoy!

ALLIANCE: Part 5 - Klara Beyeler

Klara Beyeler, Enforced Arch Klara Beyeler can handle a storm. Everything we ask of her is never too much and she is always in the best of spirits. She consistently pushes herself beyond her boundaries and because of this, her artistry will forever have exponential growth.

Klara Beyeler is a member of this project and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have her join us on this adventure! After rehearsal this past week we had an opportunity to ask her a few questions…

How do you as an individual live the 'ALLIANCE' of Art & Activism?

By being as open and authentic as I can. By being open, I learned and got more interest about how little behavior of the everyday life can make the difference. It reminds me that being part of a hole group, city, country, earth; through my actions, I inevitably share positive or negative energy with the world. I think we all should be aware of this responsibility and have the consciousness of what kind of energies and ideas you spread around you.

By being myself and trusting my instinct, I wish I can make that little difference for someone in the audience and make him feel the message.

What part of the rehearsal process or subject material did you find most inspiring?

I am fascinated how art and specially dance is a powerful way to share an idea and to make people want to act differently. During the process I was very touched by the emotion that Tracey and James are able to express through choreography. An extreme strong feeling to dance it, and I think it will be the most efficient point to get the audience understand the matter of activism : its when you're emotionally moved that you start care about.

What did you learn from your experiences that you would like to share with others?

By leaving home to explore another culture, I open my mind more and more because I am consistently facing different behavior and way of thinking. I experience every day that judgement, resistance, fight or any negative reaction doesn't help. That's why I always try to share those ideas with all my love and compassion through my dance and life.

ALLIANCE: Part 4 - Alexandra Shieron

Alexandra Shieron, Enforced Arch Alexandra Shieron is a gem. Her positive attitude, kind nature and professionalism are unwavering from the moment you meet her. Needless to say, her performance is full of charisma.

Alexandra Shieron is a member of this project and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have her join us on this adventure! After rehearsal this past week we had an opportunity to ask her a few questions…

How do you as an individual live the 'ALLIANCE' of Art & Activism?

I'm a firm believer in what you get out of life is what you put into it. I give myself energetically to whatever I believe in and treat the world around me how I want to be treated. So when I witness something that doesn't seem right I want to express how I feel and fix it immediately. Unfortunately, one person can't fix the world's problems so I do my own small part on a daily basis. Whether that's eating organically, helping a friend in need, volunteering or making people aware of issues that affect them. I love that my passion- dance- can help unite people to a greater cause.

What part of the rehearsal process or subject material did you find most inspiring?

My favorite part of this process is working in the studio with my fellow dancers figuring out all the nuances of the choreography and what drives the dance forward. What my intention is, how to portray it and really delving into the role. It's inspiring to see what comes from working and interacting with such talented dancers. Being in rehearsal with Enforced Arch is such a treat as the issues they bring forward with their movement are aligned with what I believe in and want to share.

What did you learn from your experiences that you would like to share with others?

Living, dancing and performing in New York City is a very competitive, hectic scene. It's all too easy to forget why you dance, what you believe in and get caught up in the grind. Being able to dance in such a nurturing, caring environment with James and Tracey has really reminded me that dance (and life) is not just about tricks and flash but to move an audience in ways they don't normally experience. I want to continue on this path and use my art to inspire and educate people.

Katherine Roarty, Enforced ArchKatherine Roarty has such incredible strength and charisma. It's exhilarating to see someone with such poise on stage especially because there is nothing this young lady can not do! ALLIANCE, Enforced ArchOn April 6th and 7th, Enforced Arch is presenting their latest work, ‘ALLIANCE’ Art & Activism, which features past and current pieces by creative directors James Koroni and Tracey Katof. Katherine Roarty is a member of this project and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have her join us on this adventure! After rehearsal this past week we had an opportunity to ask her a few questions…

Enforced Arch: How do you as an individual live the 'ALLIANCE' of Art & Activism?

Katherine Roarty: Nothing is more honest than the relationship to another person in space. The touch of another human can cure the most fatal of illnesses. I want to heighten the awareness of our own power. We can change our world with just the touch of our hand. Reach out.

EA: What part of the rehearsal process or subject material did you find most inspiring?

KR: The "in between" moments of this rehearsal process are what most inspired me. The people involved with the project are not only talented but they are the definition of conscious citizens. Whether it be animal activism or teaching herbalism, these dancers spread their awareness from their fingertips and beyond. Most inspiring quality of these dancers, however, is their friendships that have created throughout this process.

EA: What did you learn from your experiences that you would like to share with others?

KR: People are what matter, whether they be family, friends or a furry critter. Support what and who you believe in. Stay in a present state of mind and the rest will follow.

ALLIANCE: Part 2 - Charles A. Desgagnes

Charles Alexis Desgagnes, Enforced Arch Charles Alexis Desgagnes' artistry is beyond human. Every imaginable character or subject he is asked to experience through movement shines because his dauntless personality breaths life into every step.

Charles Alexis Desgagnes is a member of this project and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have him join us on this adventure! After rehearsal this past week we had an opportunity to ask him a few questions…

Enforced Arch: How do you as an individual live the 'ALLIANCE' of Art & Activism?

Charles Alexis Desgagnes: Simple, I commit myself each day to always be a more compassionate and a less judgmental human being than the day before. I love being out of my comfort zone, as I truly feel it is the easiest, fastest and most rewarding way to grow. Dance is my 6th sense, my way to evoke thoughts and feelings as well as a tool to project concepts to other living matter that can't be told in any other way. I look forward to share and connect with my brothers and sisters around the world, using dance, art and activism as vehicles to distribute positive energy.

EA: What part of the rehearsal process or subject material did you find most inspiring?

CAD: Arriving later in the process, I truly enjoyed being part of the EA family right away, I felt quite at home in this eclectic group. I appreciate the intellectual and artistic process behind 'ALLIANCE' as movements are not only pretty movements but also representations of something else, something touchable, something palpable for the audience as well as the dancers. The social themes exploited, should it be animal welfare or the place of males in our society, are more than ever relevant and Enforced Arch does an amazing job at pointing them out.

EA: What did you learn from your experiences that you would like to share with others?

CAD: If there is one thing I learned in the last year is that even with all those amazing social opportunities at the tip of our fingers nowadays, people tend to disconnect the connection, in the sense that we easily forget that everything on this Earth is connected, humans, animals and plants. We are all one. People notice opportunities offered to them to engage in more social matters but sometimes toss them away by fear, ignorance or judgment. We need to let go of these negative patterns and reeducate our mind, spirit and bodies. Moving forward together, in the same direction, is the only way to do it. As a relatively new vegan, I also would like to share the immense feeling that comes from contributing to something useful in this world. It is truly the easiest and quickest way for anybody to really have a tangible positive effect on this planet and the creatures inhabiting it.

Too Often "Forgotton" Warm-Up

Enforced Arch, Rehearsal As dancers, our bodies need to warm up before hitting the intense choreography in rehearsal.  In class, we have the luxury of being led through a 15-45 minute warmup.  Somehow when we are starting rehearsals, and no one is there to lead the warmup, dancers take a few static stretches and jump right into the choreography.  Here is my recommendation for 3 easy steps to a pre-rehearsal warm up.

1.  Start Moving.  This should feel good and easy on your joints. Think of making fluid movements, engaging all the muscles in your body.  Take an inventory as you move, focusing on different parts of your body. For example,  take the focus from your head and neck, down through your torso to the ribs and pelvis, then out through your limbs.  You can repeat this list several times.  Make sure to engage your abs as you move.  The core protects your spine and helps you find your center.

2. Pay attention to your body.  If some parts of your body are super sore, take extra time to get them moving.  For tight hips and leg muscles, try some leg swings front & back as well as side to side.  For stiff ankles and feet, try ankle circles. Now that your body is getting warm, it is also safe to do some light stretching.

3.  Mimic the Choreography.  Next start to partake in movements similar to the style of the choreography. If you will be doing a lot of jumps, warm up your ankles with smaller jumps or simply jog in place.  I will often do a slower and smaller version of some of the choreography, exaggerating the contraction of my muscles.  This helps my body warm up and get ready to do the movement full out.

Warm-up Secret: This is one of the first things you ever learned in school... The Alphabet!  Use any joint (or your whole body) to draw in the air all of the letters of the alphabet and see how warm you get.  This tool is especially beneficial for the ankles and hips.

ALLIANCE: Part 1 - Lauren Cox

Lauren Cox, ALLIANCE, Enforced Arch Meet Lauren Cox, an intelligent, talented and compassionate soul. The loving energy she brings to every rehearsal and performance is electrifying!

ALLIANCE, Enforced ArchOn April 6th and 7th, Enforced Arch is presenting their latest work, 'ALLIANCE' Art & Activism, which features past and current pieces by creative directors James Koroni and Tracey Katof. Lauren Cox is a member of this project and we couldn't be more thrilled to have her join us on this unforgettable adventure! After rehearsal this past week we had an opportunity to ask her a few questions...

Enforced Arch: How do you as an individual live the 'ALLIANCE' of Art & Activism?

Lauren Cox: By simply living as a consciously healthy mind, body and soul.  I am a strong believer in leading by example and so by feeding myself knowledge, compassion and acceptance I can offer others the same thing.  There are so many issues in today's world, if we all took full advantage of our time, space and experience our similarities and needs would be more important than our differences.  I choose to act through art by telling a story and being honest and committed.

EA: What part of the rehearsal process or subject material did you find most inspiring?

LC: I am constantly impressed by Tracey and James' abilities to express the emotions of others.  The entire process was insightful and causes you to think beyond your own experience and thoughts.  It takes you to other space entirely, sending you on a journey that each time digs deeper.  

My favorite part of this process is being able to discuss these issues with my fellow dancers so we can collectively use that as a driving force.   

EA: What did you learn from your experiences that you would like to share with others?

LC: How deeply rooted animal cruelty is in our society, or even the mistreatment of our Earth.  When you think you've edited out your own negative influence on your surroundings there is something more to do.  It can be overwhelming but as long as you are making an effort to be aware of all sides you are of good ole' positive change.

Dancers As A Force For Change

Please Don't Touch, Enforced Arch

James Koroni of Enforced Arch was interviewed by Dance Advantage. Here's a spotlight from that interview and a link to where you can read the rest:

Dance Advantage: Why did you create the Enforced Arch community?

James Koroni, Enforced ArchJames Koroni: All my life I have had a strong desire to sing, dance and entertain everyone. All of which was an attempt to brighten someones day.

As an adult I went through two devastating losses – each breathing new life into my love of performance art – - the death of my brother and later the loss of my father who both died of cancer.

It wasn’t until I felt the severity of my fathers illness that I knew I needed to change my own life. After he died I sought the truth behind the causes for cancer and I found an abundance of resources, including The China Study, linking many causes of cancer to our diets. This sent me on a a course of research that changed my life forever. The first step I took was adopting a vegan lifestyle, not only for my brother & father, but also for my health, the environment, and all of the animals suffering for our dinners. This discovery has filled my life with great intention.

Every moment following that day has contained yet another opportunity to inspire change through my lifestyle and as a dancer/choreographer. Dancers have a unique ability to speak to others and I value those who use this talent to create awareness.

Tracey Katof, James Koroni, Enforced Arch

Enforced Arch is thrilled to present this two-night limited engagement at Manhattan Movement & Arts Center where they will be presenting their latest work, ‘ALLIANCE’ Art & Activism.

Enforced Arch is a performance arts community of intelligent communicators who use their unique talents to bring life to environmental and social issues. In their spring performance at Manhattan Movement & Arts Center they will be presenting a collection of past and new works honoring the 'ALLIANCE' of art and activism. For Enforced Arch these performances mark the first presentation of works by creative directors, James Koroni and Tracey Katof.

In addition to the dance presentation two exceptional recording artists, Clara Lofaro and Mandy Lee will accompany Enforced Arch on stage. This show will also be the official launch of the title piece ‘ALLIANCE’ which is a video art contribution by Joshua Katcher, performed by founder James Koroni. You won’t want to miss this!

In the past year, Enforced Arch has been invited to share their work in cities such as, Washington D.C., New York City and Paris, and has addressed issues such as Childhood Sexual Abuse, Animal Rights, Environmental Awareness, the It Get's Better Project, and Domestic Violence. Each piece challenges audiences to “speak up” against issues that affect society.

“This is more than just an event for me, it’s an identity, a lifestyle, not just a two-night limited engagement”, says James Koroni, Founder and Creative Director of Enforced Arch. “Some people think creating work inspired by social, environmental and ethical issues is difficult. What’s difficult for me is not creating it.”

Tonya Kay with Neil Patrick Harris

Tonya Kay, Neil Patrick Harris Here we have our talented 'Mover' Tonya Kay in a hilarious sketch with Neil Patrick Harris at the 38th Annual People's Choice Awards.

I'm always impressed with her range of performance abilities. What can't she do!? She's a dancer, a model, a burlesque goddess, a danger expert, an actress and now she's doing sketch comedy with the stars! Well, she's a star too and I say, "Do not stop Tonya Kay, I love it!" If she wasn't so amazing I'd tell her to join the same 12 Step program as Neil Patrick Harris.

Watch the video, you'll see what I mean:
