Embracing the worlds of words and dance. This workshop is open to all people comfortable with moving in their bodies and at ease with writing and speaking. After a brief dance warm up, we'll begin by learning Parings, a dance/poem that has been performed by many groups of dancers. We will reflect on sensations learning and doing the dance. After an open discussion of the similar components of texts and choreography, we'll break into smaller groups to work together in dance and poetry collaborations. The workshop will be completed when we watch each other’s work and share our ideas and insights.
