The Color Jam: Painting with Movement

This workshop will begin with meditation to relax the mind and to examine the way your body feels in the present moment. You will be lead through a improvisation warm-up that plays with imagery to challenge the minds alertness and body’s limitations. After this you will be asked to think of whatever first comes to mind which will become your personal “anchor point” for your dance improv. The space will be covered in white paper that you will paint using your body as your tool to express your personal journey. The movement is based not only on your physical performance and “anchor point” but also on the progression of the painting as well as the interactions you share with the other bodies in the space. You’re recommended to come on time but the painting portion of the workshop will be an open jam for people to come and go as they please.
