Friday June 12 1-3pm: Antonio Krais by Antonio Ramos
The Class starts with gentle floor work based on the Feldenkrais method. It will be followed by a slow movement exploration allowing each individual to experience their innate movement and affording them the opportunity to listen to what is within themselves.

Saturday June 13 12-2pm: Contemporary Systems- an interior & material approach to movement by Sidra Bell
In Contemporary Systems Bell encourages provocative thought and an immersive approach to the subject matter of the body. Her work demands a high degree of physicality and input from the dancers, encouraging them to execute movement with intention, curiosity, and empathy.

Sunday June 14 12-2pm: A Workshop Study by Alexis Zaccarello
Zaccarello is interested in sharing her abstraction process. It will require you to go deep into your body, create simple scores, forget scores, respond to desire, improvise, and prioritize motion over memory.

All workshops will take place at CPR's Brooklyn venue at 361 Manhattan Avenue, and are first come first serve.
