Pavel Machuca's The Phantom Limb seeks movers

 
Pavel Machuca's The Phantom Limb seeks movers Cassell Inc.

As part of Summer Works, by Dance To The PeoplePavel Machuca is leading a dance experience over 8 weeks, with a weekly session of three hours involving: technique class (1hr) improvisation in partnering practice (1hr), and a choreographic process (1hr)

Phantom Limb is about abstracting the perception and sensation that a missing form/source is still attached and moving appropriately, and understanding that absence by focusing on its functions within changing contexts (e.g. People, laws, an echo). 

We welcome all dancers, contact-improvisers, movement lovers, and other curious artists.

Wednesdays, 12-00-3:00pm at The Woods Cooperative (1826 Palmetto St. Ridgewood NY, 11385)

There will be a studio showing of Summer Works in progress on Friday August 21, available to those who commit to a majority of sessions.

This is NOT a paid dance opportunity, but an invitation to take advantage of a project that could propel you as a mover and offer you the possibility to experiment movement among others. Dance To The People offers free/donation based classes and workshops, and provides many tools for professional development to those interested in a collective creative space.
