This workshop will provide an introduction to modern dance and choreographic tools for participants to express themselves with movement. Participants will be encouraged to develop their own choreography as a way of storytelling. The workshops will be open to adults of all abilities and levels of dance experience. The focus of these workshops will be to learn how to use our bodies as an instrument for expression. At the end of the workshop, there will be a small informal showing of work developed during this process.
