In this workshop, we will split our time between a Contemporary Dance class structure and a choreographic workshop.
We’ll begin by exploring technique phrases through multiple rounds, each with a distinct focus and varied cues. This helps develop the dancers mind to analyze the conscious choices they are making during class. Then, we will delve into instant composition methods to explore ones choreographic toolbox, culminating in an improvised composition to close the session.
