Every Sunday in August! Aug 6 - Aug 27 at Chez Bushwick, 12-2pm

This series is intended for advanced to professional movers with experience in contact work and improvisation, but open to all. Classes will include a thorough warm up, games, theatrical exercises, phrasework, and structured jam time. Each session will build on the next, but single drop-ins are welcome. Class will draw on research from the choreographic process of Dear Young One (premiered in May 2023), incorporating child-like play, leaning into silly joy, and practicing community care. Expect to sweat, feel your feelings, dive into collaborative research, journal, sing, laugh, etc! Please bring things to write with. 

Chez Bushwick can be accessed most easily by the L train at Morgan Ave or Montrose Ave. When you arrive to the building, buzz #11, then walk up stairs to the second floor. Follow the phots of dancers on the wall until you see the studio! There is a bathroom inside the studio.

Please sign up via eventbrite to reserve a spot in class, as space is limited. Payment can be made by Venmo, Zelle, or cash to Uila Marx.

Reach out to Uila at uilalani@gmail.com if you have any questions or need help locating the studio.
