Level: “Pre-Professional/Professional” | Previous practice in composition is highly encouraged.

This 2-day workshop will take participants through UBW’s creative choreographic lab. Each day includes time for lunch and two 15-minute breaks.

The participants will engage in a process-based approach to UBW’s art-making. The process-based investigations are informed by who is in the room and involve iterative cycles of rigorous embodied research informed by Black Feminist Theory and exploring pelvic mobility to access locomotion, memories, and medicine. Additionally, practices will center radical Black experimentation in the fields of culture, politics, identity, and history.  

Each day will be structured with:

- Movement Based Warm-Up
- Structured Improvisation/Investigation/Solo Practice – How we “research” our physicality through prompts and ideas
- Research – Participants will engage in a Theatre Dance Lecture series

Feel free to bring a journal or notebook and pen/pencil. We look forward to creating and exploring with you!

Early Bird Rate: $200 until April 20
Regular Rate: $250
