<br></span>In this workshop students will have the opportunity to immerse in the practice of dance improvisation. Our approach is to create an environment for students to look at the relationship between perception, the poetic imagination, dance and performance. Our belief is that perceptual learning is key and that Earthdance provides an ideal environment for this type of practice. Each day we will seek to invigorate ourselves with movement and sensory practices that attune and expand our bodies and minds, composing gesture, image, pathways, fields, frames, musicality and meaning. Our work is interdisciplinary at its core, drawing upon philosophy, architecture, design, somatics, aesthetics, ecology and a wide variety of dance techniques. <br>
