Includes entry to all 4 workshops, homemade lunch, and the evening concert!

All levels movement warm up. We'll spend time on the floor and work our way to standing through guided movement explorations and strength/alignment exercises. We'll lubricate the joints and wake up the brain to get you ready for a full day of dancing!

Participants can expect to warm up exploring movement through Improvisation and move through class with Contemporary techniques. Participation is encouraged through movement, observation and adaptation of exercises/tasks. Open to Int/Adv/Professional level movers.

Michelle N. Gibson’s Afro Modern class will focus on a fusion of contemporary modern practices rooted in diasporic elements in order to acknowledge the diasporic aesthetics and movement fundamentals contributed to American modern dance styles and techniques. You can expect to experience center exercises rooted in Katherine Dunham’s Dunham Technique, as well as challenge and improve your polyrhythmic modern skills while moving across the floor. You’ll gain a broader understanding of dance across cultures, deepening your understanding of how your body interacts with modern technique class. As always, Mz. G will challenge you to improve while building a community of love, peace, healing, and light.

slowdanger’s ‘SPI’ is an explorational movement experience accompanied by an evolving sound score. Inspired by their studies in somatic practices, BodyMindCentering, Laban Movement Analysis, Movement Theater, Corporeal Mime, improvisational and compositional studies, slowdanger guides participants to investigate non-verbal processing mechanisms through movement, groove, and sensory stimulus. SPI is designed as an open-level practice and challenges participants to explore connections to body, sound, and their environment. These connections are used to play, investigate, and regenerate.
