Donation Class for Professional Dancers
photo by Ty Gagliardone
Class date: Saturday July 26
Time: 1-3pm
Location: BAX (Brooklyn Arts Exchange) 421 Fifth Ave Brooklyn, NY 11215
Pre-registration required: bit.ly/bodyinplayclass
Vibes: sweaty, silly, theatrical, tender. This class is intended for advanced-professional movers who have experience in contact work and improvisation. Class will include a thorough warm up, improv games, theatrical exercises, partnering, and phrasework, and 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 kneepads is encouraged.
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.
