This all-levels workshop will explore transposing of language into movement. How does the body express specific meanings of language? Is there something more that is captured when the body engages in motion that can’t be grasped by the literal? This workshop doesn’t focus on dance techniques but rather, focuses on the individual’s emotional experiences to bring meaning to the movement we create. We will be using some ASL (American Sign Language) to get more fully and directly into the body by exploring a gestural and spatial language. Here the body discovers its vast network of communicative powers in a non-verbal form, abstracted by poetry and enhanced by meaning.
