Our 2025 Summer Intensive will explore dancing together as a practice of dreaming, entering a state of continuous rhythmic embodiment that portals joy into acts of resistance.
In this dense practice of dancing, where the rhythms roll us into waves of movement, we practice the awakening of spatial and temporal awareness, heightening our sense of dancing together as a mode of Self-Determination. Some of the cornerstones of this methodology are engaging repetition, finding the beat, losing the fixation on verticality, stimulating cellular and nervous awakening, and building multiple fronts. We dream this gathering as a crucial moment for strategizing this next resistive phase of our lives.
Each meeting will begin with instruction in Yorchhā. Whether this is your first experience with Yorchhā or you have been practicing for multiple summers, we will meet you where you are, opening paths towards your individual excellence. After a brief break, the daily focus will shift to structured improvisational and choreographic processes. We will provide accepted applicants with a more detailed daily schedule by the beginning of May.
Application Deadline: Monday, June 9
Please note that each application requires a non-refundable deposit of $50.00. Scholarships and housing assistance for out-of-town artists are available. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at admin@ananyadancetheatre.org.
