Join Young Dance and Alexandra Beaumont for:
Get Up to Get Down: Exploring Joy and Solidarity through Group Dances
Wednesday, December 8, 2021
7:00-9:00p.m.
More than a traditional workshop, this is a semi-choreographed dance party. Participants will start with a few classic group dances, feeling what it’s like to move together. Then, Beaumont will teach a movement phrase she’s been developing, exploring group movement in the form of parade and procession.
“My hope is to share some joyful movement and experiment with a group dance that travels across space. The goal is to find a choreographic passage that is easy to share, learn, and join. One that can be repeated again and again without becoming boring, and that maintains a coherent structure and flow while leaving room for individual flourishes.” –Alex Beaumont
