Ensemble Improvisation for Performance

Weekly sessions will provide structure and practice in improvisation, and will develop perceptual skills crucial to ensemble performance.

Through experimentation, dialogue and guided exercises, dancers will investigate the impact of actively seeing and hearing while moving.

Classes will emphasize:

• Noticing the impact of “feeling” states in performance.
• Recognizing ones personal, choreographic “ethic”.
• The use of choice in creating a collaborative Instant Composition.

Open to dancers from all disciplines.

When:

beginning Wed July 4th
continuing weekly

7-9pm

Where:

Stage 7 School of Dance
3980 30th St., North Park

Drop-ins welcome but continued attendance is encouraged.

"Movement is produced by the rapport of odd elements, of the contrasts of colors between themselves which constitutes Reality." -Robert Delaunay
