Classes:
Perspectives of the Camera While Creating an Aerial Dance Video. All Levels
Fri. 8/6. Noon – 1:30 PM MDT
$35 class plus recording. | $35 recording only.
It’s not the same to create aerial dance in front of an audience, rather than in front of a camera. We will explore the sensitive eye of the camera and find new perspectives to tell our story, movement or choreography through the lens of the camera.
For this workshop you need to prepare previously a sequence of movement that you want to work on. Also try to find a space that inspires you. Ages 12+.
Site-Specific Performance on Any Apparatus – All Levels
Tues. 8/3. OR Thurs .8/5: Noon – 1:30 PM MDT

We will go deep in exploring our relationship with the object and the space around us. You will create a short site specific performance and work on telling a story.
Supplies needed: Feel free to use anything from home: a chair, a broom, a scarf, a towel, a table. It’s an object, same as an aerial apparatus, where you can create movement, even if it’s not in the air. Also, pick a space from home where you feel inspired in creating. Ages 12+.
