Embodied Exploration

Do you ever have a concept for a piece, and then find yourself stuck not knowing where to start? This movement lab, facilitated by Camille Sutton and Anya Hernandez, invites local dancers and movers to nourish their creative practice alongside a community of fellow makers. This workshop is designed to help you generate rich, meaningful movement as we discover tools to help you break down large ideas into workable pieces, expand your imagination for interpretation, and challenge your comfort zone through limitation. The session will take us from story sharing to embodied exploration and movement invention, and then finally into a collaborative time of choreography.
