🌟Take a break from your usual routine and dive into a week filled with dance! Join us for this morning's inspiring workshop led by Erin Landers. ✨
✨Workshop Details✨
When: 9:30-11:00 pm
Where: Hennepin Center for the Arts, Studio 4A (fourth floor)
Cost: $17
In this workshop, we will be diving into phrasework from Erin Landers' piece created for Block Z this spring. We will use suspension, release, and different points of initiation, and clear directions in space to manage our relationship to gravity within a specific rhythmic structure. We will warm up and prepare the body through a series of center exercises designed with the alignments, movements, and qualitative demands of this phrase work in mind.
