This three-hour workshop led by Christian Burns will focus on strategies for approaching improvisation as real-time composition that encourages presence, responsiveness, and connections with both space and other people.

Dancers and movers of all levels are welcome. Together, we will explore curiosity, action, listening, functional movement, and art-making.
