What is the story behind this workshop?
The Dance Gallery Festival is launching a new workshop series that will be part of the annual festival in NYC.

The Dancers get 15+ hours of rehearsals and participate in 2 shows .

 

Who is the choreographer this year?
 

Dante Brown
 
Dante Brown is the Director of Dante Brown|Warehouse Dance in New York City. His company works collaboratively in hyper-physical creative processes to produce dynamically rich environments on stage. DB|WD enjoys questioning the social implications and physical limits of a moving body, in order to generate thematically drenched environments/worlds on stage. 
 
Here is a glimpse of what Dante has in mind for the workshop!
“I'm interested in creating a 5 day process where we investigate movement quality, dynamic variance, weight, focus, and performance presence; resulting in a ten minute work that will be presented at The Dance Gallery Festival. We will aim to push ourselves to discover new things about our moving bodies through improvisation, release technique, dynamic partnering, and challenging phrase material. “
