FRIDAY MARCH 8
OPEN CLASS IN THE WORKROOM
10:00AM- 12:00PM
Sofia Engelman + Em Papineau
This workshop is about dancing with other bodies. We use physical touch and partnered movement to perform feats of power, to practice consent, to explore our wildness, to experience togetherness, and to find new ways of relating to each other. We co-create and support one another through moments of disorientation and reorientation. We will engage with set and improvised material.

Jones, this class draws on and references a rich movement heritage spanning many forms including classical modern, jazz, hip hop, ballet, improvisational practices and everyday, pedestrian movement.
