Between Dance and Drama

Bodily awareness is essential to the performer; to know the body is to be able to utilize the body  efficiently while breath awareness promotes the attainment of deep connections to the space and self. Based on the premise that expressions are activated only when body and breath work simultaneously, this workshop aims to give participants an opportunity to investigate their dance practice through the lenses of the practice of drama,  an artform that is highly affective-cognitive in nature.
