Denys will offer his workshop on Saturday, March 8th from 10AM-12noon. Location: Joanie Lamb Hair Salon 720 Broad St Augusta, GA
Darbuka Dave: The Basics of Working With Dancers - We will cover the universal ways of communicating with dancers, useful for both choreographed and improvised performance. The class is suitable for all students who have at least a basic knowledge of technique, and beginners should expect to be challenged by the quick pace of the class. Dave will offer his workshop on Saturday, March 8th from 1230PM-230PM. Location: Joanie Lamb Hair Salon 720 Broad St Augusta, GA
Natalie Brown: Delirium Tribal improv combos. Move, trade places, turn, pose with Delirium Tribal's signature improvisational moves. Use in choreographies or your own brand of tribal improv. Natalie will offer her workshop on Saturday, March 8th from 10AM-12noon. Location: Augusta Fencing Club 134 9th St GA
Ashley Bennett: This workshop will be focused, primarily, on stage presence and fluid motion - with a concentration on arm and hand movements. A certified yoga instructor, Ashley typically begins and ends each workshop with enough yoga to warm up the body to support flexibility, and then slow it down again to prevent aching and soreness for the "morning after." Ashley will offer her workshop on Saturday, March 8th from 1230PM-230PM. Location: Augusta Fencing Club 134 9th St Augusta, GA.
Alchemy: In this workshop, the emphasis will be on floorwork: toning and building the muscles necessary for safe, strong, and controlled floorwork, introducing new movement to your repertoire, and learning how to incorporate floorwork into improvisational performances for the solo or group dynamic. We will also cover the "no-nos", what to consider to keep your floorwork from devolving into a peep show, and how to comport yourself to best display your strength and mastery to the audience. All of this will be presented in the same lighthearted, safe, accepting atmosphere Alchemy is known for in its classes. So, come prepared for a workout, great information, but most of all come with questions and a smile! All levels welcome! Please bring knees pads or a yoga mat. Alchemy will offer their workshop on Saturday, March 8th from 230PM-430PM. Location: Augusta Fencing Club 134 9th St Augusta, GA
