January 9th and 16th – Contemporary Technique and Contact Improvisation
at the Emporium Annex ($15 each/$10 for registration by Jan 8th or with another class)
3-4:30pm – Ground/Space, an intermediate/advanced contemporary technique class that looks at dance as relationships: to gravity, to space and to each other.
4:30-6pm – Push to Reach, will use a developmental movement approach to teaching partnering skills and contact improvisation.
January 10th and 17th – Choreographic Process
at the Emporium Annex ($30 for first workshop/ $50 for both)
12-3pm – DIG: Dances in Gestation is an investigation of choreographic research processes that will provide a rigorous opportunity to go deeper into your practice of movement and meaning. Jan 10th is a prerequisite for the 17th.
Taking new risks through creative inquiry and movement research will allow you to dive into the meaning while discerning the choices in your dance making. Interested choreographers are highly encouraged to attend both sessions and should contact Angela to discuss their intentions. An optional informal showing and artist exchange will be held on the evening of the second workshop.
