USING DANCE TO RESPOND TO CURRENT EVENTS RESIDENCY
This thought-provoking residency invites students to examine the connection between historical events and the arts. Movement Migration dance artists, steeped in the legacy of the celebrated modern dance pioneer Martha Graham, lead this residency. Students learn about two works: Steps in the Street (1936) and Lamentation (1930) and create short works using what they’ve learned about the past to respond to events in the present.

MIND/BODY & CREATIVE PROCESS WORKSHOP
This Mind/Body Workshop uses improvisational techniques to facilitate students’ creative process. Dance artists lead students in an exploration of movement qualities, interconnectedness, and intrapersonal communication. Students then create a sequence that embodies a central theme and communicates feelings, thoughts, or images.
