This Summer Intensive will further BodyStories’ Mission of unleashing creativity and empowerment in dancers and developing a deeper understanding of the relationship between art and activism. Dancers will rediscover joy in movement through inspiring and challenging technical, composition, and improvisational classes each day. Together we will hone in on our skills through partnering movement, music, and text, while investigating the relationship between dance and social justice. You won’t want to miss out on this opportunity! Virtually or in-person at the Middlebrook Arts Research + Residency Center, our intensive will serve as a space to create an environment of learning and growth, and expand your vocabulary.
