Dance-Making Workshop with Julie Mayo January 19 in Cville

January 19, 2008 1-3 p.m.
In and Around Dance-Making with Julie Mayo
At Piedmont VA Community College in Charlottesville, VA

This is a workshop for anyone who is interested in making dances. We will develop material based on improvisations and other means and investigate finding forms to embody the vocabulary that emerges from our explorations. We will incorporate working with sound, objects and writing. The workshop begins with a somatic warm-up that cultivates letting go of unnecessary tension, so that we are available and readied for making.

To register, call 434-961-5376.

In SRT we let go of stress and preconceptions to discover our natural grace, alignment, flexibility and imagination.

Through guided imagery, music and hands-on-partner studies, the practice facilitates a deep kinesthetic experience of movement. As well as enhancing strength, suppleness, efficiency, availability and freedom. In Finding Forms we will take some of the movement that arises out of our improvisations and work with creating and moving from scores.
