Class Description

Instructor: Bee Bee Sanchez 4/26 11:30 PM - 1:00 PM $25 1105 Euclid Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30307 Dynamic Movement / Minimal Range Level: Intermediate - (must have some dance experience/body awareness) Welcome to a dynamic dance workshop where we will flex your mind as much as your body. Using the creative challenge of limited space and improvisation, performers will work individually, in pairs, or small groups to invent ways of containing their current vocabulary and explore new vocabulary that will make the most of the limited space and each other. From extremities to facial expressions, we’ll play with tension, expansion, energy transfer, vigorous and restrained movements that will unlock a whole new realm of possibilities. You’ll take away new ways of mapping movement for your solo acts and learn how to maximize the movement expression of others to choreograph for small groups. Class will include a brief warmup and stretching, learning short movement sequences, and lots of opportunity for developing improvisation skills. We’ll have opportunities to take our skills and explore duo and group dynamics, and will end the workshop performing for each other. Key takeaways for participants include: • Expression and Creativity: Discover how limitations can lead to more intentional movement, unlocking more possibilities for expressing emotions, stories, and experiences without words. • Precision and Control: Develop the skills to move your body with precision and control making the most of all available space. Learn how to move in concert with another person • Connection with Others: Connect with fellow participants through shared experiences and collective energy. Explore the possibilities, joys, and intimacy of moving in confined space with another performer. Learn how to showcase each other's strengths and unique movement qualities. • Adaptation and Accessibility: Explore modifications and variations to your standard movement vocabulary to ensure all performers are able to shine. Dance shoes or socks recommended, note taking tools highly recommended. All ranges of motion and mobility aids are welcome.
