Workshop Offerings

1. Site specific dance

2. Interactive and immersive dance performance

3. Devising material via imaginative improvisational process

4. Engaging in a choreographic process: gathering and performing dance material for a new work: Story Time, inspired by myths, fairy tales, and oral traditions, long sources of philosophical inquiry.

5. Create a compelling, non-linear narrative that loops throughout an environment, danced with vigor and enhanced by visuals, text, and music.

6. Create ‘on the street’ interventions within an urban landscape. Give the “audience” a block by block experience of performance, not only through their physical proximity to dancers but also by fostering connections between the audience’s personal experiences and the performance itself.

7. Create Screen-Dance (standalone short dance films, or content that may be employed in conjunction with live performance)
