Entrance 53A Chambers Street
The Playground NYC allows dancers to experience various choreographic styles and ideas, engage with a new community of dancers, and gather resourceful information and inspiration from the array of choreographers involved. In turn, established choreographers are paid for their creative investigations, are given free space to explore new movement with professional dancers, and are provided with the opportunity to establish relationships with new dancers and fellow choreographers.
Class Description:
What is it to embody the bodies of those other than ourselves? We will begin with a short warmup followed by a guided improvisational and theatrical practice. Then we will workshop some choreography that I am working on based on the lore of the “Boohag”- a feminine, gnarly, and ghostly spirit takes the breath of those she chooses to embody.
