ABOUT US.

The mission of Play Motion Lab began in an effort to provide affordable classes and workshops as the cost of open classes, workshops, and training for dancers continues to rise unsustainably. It has now expanded as a groundswell and niche space to build community amongst professional dancers actively working in New York.

To date we have served over 400+ dancers and held monthly workshops in San Francisco, Peru, Hawaii, and at our home base at Chez Bushwick in Brooklyn. 

Play Motion Lab Play Motion Lab is sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by Brooklyn Arts Council.

CONTEMPORARY FORMS.

Our November session welcomes Keerati Jinakunwiphat alongside Play Motion Lab's Peter Cheng.

The first half of our workshop dives into a guided full-body anatomical warm-up with Peter.

Intended to bridge movement architecture inherent in our muscles and joints, dancers are asked to tap into synchronization of the physical body with peripheral and sensory awareness in space.

The second half of the session, led by Keerati, leverages contemporary phrase work, using the floor to discover tactility, circularity, and shifts of weight. With this sense of groundedness, movers shift to explore different planes and axes to find novel ways to move across the space.

Musicality and individuality are emphasized as we play with dynamic phrase work.

Keerati focuses on how we can stay present as we take up, and share the space with each other.
