Fall is near and we have the events and classes for you!

The Works in Progress New Dance Series Show

Free Flow Dance Theatre is pleased to present a FREE professional development workshop opportunity to the movers of Saskatoon!
The workshop will be taught in 2 parts. Come dressed to move and bring a water bottle. Donations to the charitable org are always welcome but this workshop series is FREE of charge.

Part One
The Imaginative Body Class led by Lucy Rupert of Blue Ceiling dance

Align your physicality with your imagination.
Source your personal imagery.
Get the body moving, get the mind flowing.
Developed for actors, musicians, dancers and people who like to move, the classes connect anatomical (both metaphoric and actual) imagery to the inherent poetry and virtuosity in the body. The classes can be used as exploration for choreography or character, but are intended primarily to offer the practice of being present, paying deep attention to the messages and impulses of the body and to allow participants to exert themselves in a pleasurable way. The class flows through a series of improvised explorations and visualizations and a range of dynamic, physical and imaginative possibilities for each individual.
​
The classes unite influences from Lucy's training and performance experience in butoh, post-modern improvisation, contemporary dance, yoga and theatre. Other influences include Lucy's childhood growing up with conservationist/naturalist parents. There is a strong connection to the imagery of nature, the instincts of the body that lie under intellectual pursuits, and the imagery of physics and cosmology.
