The Present Tense

- Dance improvisation workshops with Daniel Burkholder and Sharon Mansur.

Join Washington, DC area dance artists Daniel Burkholder and Sharon Mansur as they share 20 years of surprising, intimate, challenging, playful and provocative collaborative experience in performing together improvisationally.

These three improvisation workshops delve into skills, approaches and scores to develop greater awareness, expressive articulation and creative possibilities within an improvisational context. Perfect for artists interested in performing improvisationally, but also expanding their choreographic tools, performance quality and artistic process.

These workshops can be taken individually or as a series.

Solos: January 22 10:00AM-1:00PM This workshop will focus on solo improvisation with emphasis on presence, spontaneous movement invention and development, spatial attention, compositional structure and music awareness/ relationship.

Duets: January 29  10:00AM-1:00PM This workshop will focus on responding and relating to another performer, making mutual decisions, developing a shared understanding, and balancing autonomy and cooperation.

Groups: February 5  10:00AM-1:00PM This workshop will expand on the work from the first two weeks to explore larger group improvisation. We will focus on creating group cohesion and awareness, greater spatial coherence, initiating vs. supporting, and how to develop structure for performance.

$30 in advance for a single class, $35 at the door for a single class

$80 in advance for all 3 classes.
