Dance Workshop with Okwui Okpokwasili

A workshop for artists at all levels that focuses on finding an embodied practice. Exploratory questions may include: How does a body make narrative? How does one build a movement vocabulary around the psychic condition of a character? Participants will work individually and in groups to explore developing a character through movement. In this studio-based workshop, Okpokwasili and Born will guide artists through ways to express the personal story through the body. This is at the intersection of performance and dance. 10-15 participants who are interested making art—either as a professional artist or enthusiastic amateur. No experience necessary! Ages 18 and up.
