Walker Art Center, McGuire Theater
Price: $30 — space is limited, register here!
Walker Art Center presents a special workshop with world-renowned dance artist, Meg Stuart! This class investigates the energetic undercurrents of movement—how vibrational states shape the way we move and dance with others. We focus on how energy travels through tissues, bones, and space – and how we can listen to the energetic field while dancing, navigating emotional states as energetic forces. Through somatic awareness, improvisation scores, and contact practices, we explore how energy is transferred and transformed within and between bodies, deepening our understanding of movement as energetic exchange. This class is open to dancers, movement practitioners, and anyone curious about energetic embodiment. It welcomes those who wish to experience movement beyond form—exploring how dance can emerge from the subtle, invisible forces that shape our physical and emotional worlds.
Includes a one hour visit/improvisation response in the exhibition All Day All Night by Christine Sun Kim. Workshop participants will also receive a discount code to use for purchasing tickets to the weekend performances to follow.
Participants should come to the McGuire Theater Box Office upon arrival. Please plan to arrive approximately 15 minutes before the workshop’s start. The first two hours of the workshop will be held on the McGuire Stage. The floor will have a marley cover in place for the weekend’s performances. Please bring clean, non-marking sneakers, dance shoes, or socks.
