🟠  CREATIVE CONTEMPORARY DANCE CLASS with Patricia Keheler // SAT - 12H30 - 13H30

👉 About the class :

This class is for everyone who enjoys moving. After a light warmup, we will continue with a bit of improvisation; Dance improvisation is a process of spontaneous discovery, creating meaningful movement in "real-time."

We will explore a variety of scores and creative tasks that foster sensitivity, conscious awareness of movement choices, and openness to finding unexpected pathways. As each of us deepens our ability to draw on our creative resources, we can also experience more satisfying collaborations while dancing together in the same space.

This class is for adult participants with little to no dance training who are eager to expand their creative process in dance and/or to become more comfortable with improvisation and movement.
