Dear Everyone, Let’s Move w/Maree ReMalia
Catch an experiential glimpse into explorations that have informed the development of the evening-length dance work,  A Letter Compiled From All Letters! Facilitated by Maree ReMalia,  participants are guided through warm ups drawing from the Gaga movement language and somatic and improvisational
methods based in dance, theater, and visual art. Following the  warm up, the group engages in generative explorations from the artistic teams process, which may include movement, sound, text, writing, and imagery. The approach is playful and inquisitive; all are welcome ages 16+, no previous experience is necessary. Join the artists for the premiere at New Hazlett Theater, June 13-15, 2019! More information about the project here.

Contact Improvisation Class & Jam
Led by Laura Stokes, Tricia Chirumbole, & Ryan Pusch
Contact Improvisation draws on the power of curiosity, concentration, and an openness to possibility to research gravity, momentum, inertia, and sensation while in physical contact with fellow dancers. A guided class with narrowly defined parameters helps us listen to each other, build skill, and study risk through safety. Class leads into an open format dance, called a jam, guided by a prompt. During the jam, the dancer is free to follow their curiosities and build on what was learned. You may find yourself exploring rolling, being upside-down, lifting, falling, weight sharing, or in a subtle dance of somatic exploration. The range of energy states can fluctuate from stillness to hyper-physical. All people of any ability are welcomed and honored. No prior experience in needed.
