As a part of the Brain-Body Connection Workshop Series, dancers and movers are invited to attend a choreographic exploration with special guest Peter Quanz.
2-4-1, a choreography presented in Free Flow Dance Theatre Company’s Emerge – Gala of Dance Works 2023, is a dynamic and explosive investigation into the nuanced intimate relationship between two dancers. Gender-flexible, 2-4-1 has been presented with two women and also with two men. For this two-hour workshop offered by the Free Flow Dance Theatre Company, choreographer, Peter Quanz, will teach excerpts from the choreography and then collaborate with the participants to explore intent, coaching, and developing a range of movement choices. Please wear movement attire and socks or bare feet. Partnering will be part of this workshop.
