10 a.m. - 1 p.m. at the LAB, $15 Dance Improvisation Workshop with KJ Holmes,
"Dance as a Second Language" Saturday, October 23 2 p.m.- 4 p.m. at the LAB As artists, we usually go under our verbal abilities to find expressions that resonate from other places than where we usually "think". We are not stopping our mind, but thinking through other parts of ourselves. This class will explore physicality as the language we speak from, through somatic
explorations engaging the body as the communicator and as the conveyor of our thoughts. We will use experiential anatomy, and play with senses and perceptions in relationship to time and space. At the end, we will write from this place, retranslating action into thought/poem.
