Thanks to the wonderful movers who came to last month’s workshop and made it such a success, Creative Movement 2.0 is now here!
More about this workshop: Creative Movement is a hybrid class (in studio or online) made for adult movers who are just beginning to enter, or re-enter, a movement practice and are curious about improvisation within the realm of contemporary dance. However, more experienced movers are also welcome in order to explore their own practice in a relaxed and open environment.
This workshop will include a group warm-up, several layers of prompted improvisation, and a shared improvisation score set to music. The atmosphere is welcoming and celebratory of all styles, levels, and abilities. It is a chance to explore your own body and self through motion and flow, bringing out your authentic movement voice. Let’s have fun, be playful, and get curious together through dance.
