Event Details

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Robbie Sweeny

Train with Detour Productions in a 2-hour professional dance class led by ChingChi Yu.

What “stories” can we tell with movement? In this class, we explore ways to help enrich our dancing and storytelling through our bodies and presence. How do we conjure up a magical world where we “live” and move through? This class explores different ways of connecting our body and mind through games and improvisation, which can also serve as inspiration, providing material for part of our phrase-work. We then integrate what we have discovered into a whole-body expression that conveys emotion and intrigue.

Disclaimer: Please double check event information with the event organizer as events can be canceled, details can change after they are added to our calendar, and errors do occur.
