About the Sessions:
How wonderful it is to do what we do in community with others! These sessions are an opportunity to cultivate curiosity in our individual practices by exchanging with other movement based artists working in Winnipeg. These monthly sessions are designed as a flexible work/play room for you as a mover/dancer to explore your ideas, present scores or frameworks to play with as a group, share a movement technique you’ve learned, share a work-in-progress for feedback, engage in a dialogue and connect as a community in a casual and practical setting. Each session will be guided by the curiosities brought forth that day by participating artists.
These sessions will be facilitated by Zorya Arrow, who will shepard the sessions towards the following structure:
10-10:15 Solo warm up and chat
