The Playground NYC allows dancers to experience various choreographic styles and ideas, engage with a new community of dancers, and gather resourceful information and inspiration from the array of choreographers involved. In turn, established choreographers are paid for their creative investigations, are given free space to explore new movements with professional dancers, and are provided with the opportunity to establish relationships with new dancers and fellow choreographers.
Class Description:
Andrea’s workshop helps dancers to access creativity with more ease, and create balance in their relationship to creativity in a dynamic world. Through guided visualization, improvisation, and contemporary choreography, dancers are invited to explore depths of internal sensation and sensitivity to space.
