You don’t have to be a dancer to enjoy this emphatically noncompetitive workshop. Everybody is welcome and encouraged to acquire personal taste and flexible discipline to suit their own moving body.

The exercises employ images, body articulation, floor work, and large slow movement. For many participants, seeing movement intimately and being seen moving are a transformative experience, which brings a new appreciation of how “time is not even and space is not empty.” We will also have rich dialogues with and without words.

Please wear layers and comfortable clothes.
