FREE Movement Workshop with A.I.M

Dance Victoria is thrilled to partner with Stages Performing Arts School to offer this movement workshop led by Olivia Wang of A.I.M by Kyle Abraham. This class highlights A.I.M's core movement values: exploration, musicality, abandonment, and intuition. Begin with a warm-up focused on spine fluidity, articulation, and core strengthening, leading into challenging, creative, and invigorating phrase work. Participants will dive into a personalized postmodern movement vocabulary that features intricate gestures and A.I.M's signature style.
