Continuum is an open level movement class series followed by an improv-based performance, geared towards local non-artists with an interest in movement. We will find a moving meditation through breath work, conditioning, improvisation, and creative expression. Immediately after the class, I will perform a complex improvisation structure with 3 local dancers. No event will feature the same class or the same performance.
The series, as a whole, exemplifies how valuable it is to both witness and partake in physical practices. Mindful movement promotes self awareness, community, and communication, improving mental health and wellbeing. I will leave ample time for artists, participants, and audience members to interact and connect, through the movement practices and also over local food and drinks. I want the events to be as openly enjoyable for the community as a night at a favorite bar or restaurant, while celebrating local artists and businesses. These types of experiences have a more long-lasting effect than a stand-alone theater performance or studio class, because they give everyone in attendance an immersive opportunity to relate to the work within the context of their own lives.
We are each given permission to invite our full selves into these intimate venues, and I believe that is what will make art more sustainable in the long run.
No upcoming events scheduled—stay tuned!
