Vast Action
Company: Movement Research
Venue: Studio G05 at Abrons Arts Center
Location: New York, NY
We will explore imperfect systems, extended yet unpredictable timings, and watery boundaries, towards creating a mass action to be shown at Movement Research at the Judson Church on Monday, November 20. This workshop involves improvisation and learning movement material with attention to detail; and requires stamina. Commitment to all sessions essential. $150.
