The process extends to gaining an understanding of local culture, history, and the music scene. Sharing of stories by participants will be the catalyst. Collaborating on the elements that bring people together through dance and the rehearsal/production process will lead to a dance performance. Exploring stories through movement, words and music will be the experiment. Diversity in age, race, and gender identity will be factors in the creative process.
*Move together in classes designed for all ages and all abilities
*Learn new creative tools and practices for socially-engaged artmaking
*Meet other artists, thinkers, leaders, and community members invested in the power and potential of artmaking.
Devised performance – frequently called collective creation – is a method of theatre-making in which the script or (if it is a predominantly physical work) performance score originates from collaborative, often improvisatory work by a performing ensemble. The class participants will be the ensemble.
This is a free program and is open to the public. Patrons age 18 and up and all level of abilities are encouraged to participate.
