Stemming from Anna Halprin’s innovative dance approach, this workshop is dedicated to the creative process of finding art and wonder in the everyday. Over many decades, Anna Halprin sourced dances from everyday movement. Through improvisation, dance shifted from traditional stylized movements to more open-ended exploration and expression.

What if the actions we perform everyday, such as eating, dressing, or cleaning, become rich material to enliven our creative lives? Task-based movement, imbued with somatic awareness, feeling states, and imagination, can transform our everyday experiences.

Participants will experiment with what happens when something familiar becomes more-than-familiar. We’ll heighten our kinesthetic awareness through our sensing bodies. We’ll open our imagination to play, to welcome something new. We’ll expand our perception by improvising with others.

Open to all! Please have a comfortable space to move and drawing and writing materials on hand.
