This workshop is designed for older dancers and aspiring future choreographers, interested in deepening their understanding of dance composition and their own creative process. Dancers with any experience level in choreography are welcome to attend, as the class content will be tailored to fit the individual needs of the participating dancers. 

My hope is for this workshop to be conversational and collaborative in nature: questions will be encouraged, with feedback and dialogue throughout! We will explore the different ways to utilize choreography in your future careers and how to understand your own goals with choreography as you mature as an artist!

Dancers who participate will learn about:

  - Expanding their movement vocabularies and range of motion

  - Translating stories, emotions, and ideas into movement

  - Building a cohesive compositional structure for a choreographic work

  - Using sound, silence, and overall musicality in dance

  - Enhancing spatial awareness and effectively utilizing different performance spaces.

  - Giving and receiving choreographic feedback in a productive, positive way. 

  - Developing their own choreographic style and authentic artistic voice.

By the end of the workshop, you will have gained a better understanding of the composition methods that work best for you, through both discussions and hands-on exercises. My goal is to give you plenty of new tools and techniques to boost your creativity and, most importantly, help you feel confident in bringing your own choreographic ideas to life.
