Workshops

Contemporary Improvisation & Phrasework

Monthly facilitated workshops at the Old Town School of Folk Music with live sounds by Omit/Transmit Orchestra, an eight-piece electro-acoustic ensemble that experiments in wholly-improvised music. In these workshops, students are guided through individual and group movement explorations based around physical, visual, and emotional ideas. This builds into compositional structures or contemporary material that could investigate bold shifts of weight, find luscious spirals and redirections, and challenge rhythmic continuity. Join us as we move in ways that feel good while staying curious about space, time, sound, and physicality. Open to all levels; previous dance experience is not necessary.

$20  |  4545 N Lincoln Ave.
