Deep Play/Contemplative Dance Offerings

Tired Of Being Brilliant?

Disciplines of Deep Play: A Contemplative Dance Practice
with New York teaching artist Damaris Webb

Uncover a refreshing and holistic approach to making composition for performance, rooted in contemplative awareness practices and the postmodern improvisational dance lineage. Open to all performers interested in creative physical expression, this workshop is intended to support a wholesome way of being an artist in the world while strengthening our internal compositional eye, and is complementary to many styles of performance training. Through disciplined exercises, we enliven our responses to the stories that space inherently holds, cutting through obstacles that cloud our direct perception of the current moment, showing us a path to manifesting spacious, confident and balanced improvisational performance.
Yielding to deep play, we evoke our individual kinesthetic delight with an awareness of the group.
