Improvisation Workshop

“Instant Improvisations”
A three-day intensive for performing artists
Improvisation is a space to radically engage in collaborative performance, choreographic thinking, and design. This workshop is for artists who want to push the edges and explore the future of art making that is physical-first.
We will focus on presence and change as the keys to working as an ensemble and composing movement with bravery. This workshop spends plenty of time moving and watching improvisation so that particular gain a spirit of play while learning in motion and support for your individual growth within the collective.
