About The Event
Dancing Domes
This is a contemporary dance class incorporating improvisation and guided phrases. Shannon introduces internal domed spaces in the body (roof of the mouth, diaphragm, pelvic diaphragm and souls of the feet) through short Franklin Method® studies and then expands these ideas into dance practices prioritizing these spaces as locations of support, dynamics, balance and power. Expect flashlight (zooming-in) and playtime (application of embodied understanding) moments, guided imagery both anatomical and metaphorical, group and personal reflection (notebooks welcome), functional anatomy (images and models), and big bodied dancing!
As an added bonus July 17 and 24th will be accompanied by Steve Surgalski - yes we get to dance with some live music!!!
Cost: These workshops are a fundraiser for Shannon’s premier of Heartshakes: A Performance Journey at Subcircle Residency in Maine. Funds will go towards dancers fee’s and travel support. Suggested Donation is $20 for a two hour workshop. Any donation amount…
