This workshop is designed for any teacher interested in movement and a collaborative creative process. Dancers and non-dancers alike are welcome to apply! Larry Keigwin, a choreographer whose work often includes non-dancers, will harness the group’s collective enthusiasm and inspire participants to discover their own physicality and creativity as they miraculously create their own dances. The result will be a learning experience that highlights the joy of the creative process and emphasizes creation as a journey taken with others. The day will culminate with a performance that evening of the day’s created dances, in a variety show that will also include KEIGWIN + COMPANY repertory and the work of guest artists.
Dinner will be provided
