Workshop | Alanna Kraaijeveld & Marie-Reine Kabasha — Approaches to Improvisation

In this co-facilitated workshop, we explore the art of freestyle and improvisation, particularly the approaches that guide and inform street dance and contemporary dance. Questions of how and why fuel a dialogue and exchange on what is shared and different within these dance traditions and/or cultures, their contexts, aesthetics, values, etc.

Participating artists can expect to practice and perhaps take away strategies and ideas to transfer into their own improvisation practice.

CONTENT

Participants can expect intentional, contextual, and technical prompts to explore improvisation. These are inspired by the experience and research of the facilitators. There will also be dialogue through dance and discussion.
