Description

CPW is a 9-week workshop series facilitated by Shana Simmons.
This workshop will guide movers of all levels in the creation of an original performance work.

As a group, we will spend about 1.5 hours every Sunday investing our time and energy into the creation of new work. Each work will feature the creator as the performer, so the work will be a self-generated and self-performed piece. If you feel strongly you do NOT want to participate in your work, but really want to experience this workshop, send me an email and we can chat!

We will start with a short warm up to get the body open, stretched, and warm. We will then delve into creative exercises as a group to help each other through the creation process. You can come in with an already formed idea or someone that is needing inspiration!

Simmons will guide the group in exercises which we create, perform and share on:
-ways of generating new ideas
-analyzing movement exploration to feel comfortable finding your own voice and language to perform in
-generating new ideas as a group for each person's piece
-fine tuning the pieces, exploring different options, looking at the pieces on other bodies in space
-detailing what it is you want the audience to see and ways you can achieve that
​-analyzing movement and meaning


Wear comfortable clothing, bring a notebook and pen, and we will discover the creative work from within! Sign Up Now!
