This intensive workshop for dancers, musicians, actors, performance artists, or movers of any kind will explore three components of a comprehensive dance experience: training, improvisation, and dance making. The dance training practice will allow participants to access a unique combination of movement languages and styles that will broaden their physical ability as well as their versatility as movement artists.
By progressively navigating different improvisation activities, participants will gain awareness towards the people they are moving with; they will experience clarity and ease in decision-making scenarios, and will develop a sense of alertness and strong presence in spontaneous situations. They will also integrate the concept of “Yes and!” within the group practice of dance improvisation and enhance their listening skills in dance.
Lastly, a portion of the class will be focused on dance making exercises where participants will have the opportunity to discover dance composition tools and their practicality by learning excerpts from the DA repertory. These choreographic tools, as well as the improvisation strategies, will be applied in the making of a dance that participants will perform at the culmination of the workshop.
The Workshop will end with a performance at the Mark Morris Dance Center, Robert W. Cole Studio, on June 28, 2019 at 5:30pm, featuring dance works developed by the participants, and excerpts of DanceAction’s repertory.
