Workshops (3 artists)
Each workshop creates a welcoming and inventive
environment for creative dance. The workshop
begins with a short performance by professional
dancers. With a focus on dance creation, these
interactive workshops promote positive self-esteem
and compassion with some time for individual
reflection.
Read to Move Inventive warm up and physical
activities challenge both body and mind using
stationary and locomotor movement. The students
will dig into the creative process of making a dance
through a connection with literacy. By using a book
as the departure point, the group uses similar
themes to investigate dance qualities, individual
vocabulary and basic choreography. Inspired by the
books Howard B Wigglebottom Listens to his Heart by
Howard Binkow (Grades 1 - 3) , What do you do with an
Idea? by Kobi Yamada (Grades 4 - 6) and Dreams of
Freedom by Michael Morpurgo (Grades 7 - 8/sec I - II),
students will learn to express themselves through
dance with confidence and excitement.
