Alison Chase's 2022 Spring Workshop

 
Alison Chase 50th Anniversary Logo Alison Chase/Performance

Join The Mother of Pilobolus & Momix in an afternoon immersed in improvisation, weight-sharing, and repertory!

Alison Chase will be leading a workshop alongside her company, Alison Chase/Performance, that you won't want to miss, live on stage at Brooklyn Cyc! AC/P is transforming a 6,500 sq. ft. photography warehouse into a one-of-a-kind performance space.

During our residency, we are offering a workshop to professional dancers who are interested in learning the O.G. methods of improvisation & weight-sharing that developed Pilobolus and Momix. We'll teach you the foundations of Alison's improvisation and weight-sharing methods, and teach you one of our favorite duets from Tsu Ku Tsu

While this isn't an official audition per say, AC/P often prefers to find their next collaborators and company members through our workshops and educational opportunities. We are definitely on the look out for future creators as we move into the summer to incubate new ideas, and help us develop a few digital works.

AC/P invites all professional dancers with a strong background in improvisation & modern technique to join us. We are a company which embraces inclusion, diversity, and equity, and provide a safe-haven for artists of all backgrounds to collaborate.
