Register for Ananya Dance Theatre’s upcoming two-week Summer Intensive: Practices of Rejuvenation!
As we emerge from a particularly long and dreary winter, hopefully also from the harshest reign of the Covid-19 pandemic and continuous global erosion of justice, Ananya Dance Theatre artists invite you to join us in an embodied practice that recognizes the need for renewal. How can we be like the ferns doggedly pushing their heads through the soil every year? Rejuvenation is not a given, it is a practice that requires creativity, repetition, and curiosity so we can recognize where our bodies store pain, what old skins we can shed, and where we can revitalize our cellular capacity. These are our rituals of rejuvenation, which lead us to dance with joy, fullness, emotion, breath, fierceness, and solidarity.
Monday, June 13 through Friday, June 24
10:00am-1:00pm CST
Daily classes, available both online and in-studio.
Whether this is your first experience with Yorchhā, or you have been practicing for multiple summers, we will meet you where you are to steer you towards individual excellence.
Yorchhā is Ananya Dance Theatre’s trade-marked contemporary technique that intersects principles of vinyasa yoga, classical Indian dance form Odishi (from the eastern Indian state of Odisha), and martial art form Chhau (also from Odisha).
