Movement as Language
When words are not enough movement is our common language.
Movement as Language (ML) is a dance education program that explores how dance can become a common language through community workshops and choreographic processes. The workshops are for people from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds, particularly Latinx, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and disabled community members, and no dance experience is required.
ML consists of five distinct stages:
1) Community Engagement: discuss workshop goals and receive input from community members. 2) Workshops: provide dance education and intersectional conversations through movement. 3) Rehearsals: collaborate with professional and community dancers to generate intercommunity conversations and choreography. 4) Performance: share the work developed in this project with the community and, 5) Feedback.
