Class dates: Saturday June 28 & Saturday July 26

Time: 1-3pm

Location: BAX (Brooklyn Arts Exchange) 421 Fifth Ave Brooklyn, NY 11215

Pre-registration required: bit.ly/bodyinplayclass

This series is intended for professional movers with experience in contact work and improvisation. Classes will include a thorough warm up, improvisation games/theatrical exercises, partnering, and phrasework. Class will draw on research from Emergent Improvisation (weekly class hosted at Gibney & Peridance, brainchild of Troy Ogilvie). We will investigate what it means to prioritize community care during this violent time and lean into joyful play together. 

Bringing a notebook/pen is encouraged. Kneepads and clothing that covers knees/shoulders is ideal.

Please sign up to reserve a spot, as space is limited. Pre-payment for class is greatly appreciated. Please send your pay-what-you-want amount (suggested $10 donation) via Venmo to @Uila-Marx or Zelle uilalani@gmail.com. Cash payment in person is also available. 

*Profits from these classes will be donated toward legal fees for migrant folks in our community. 

Reach out to Uila at uilalani@gmail.com if you have any questions.
