Let’s Make a Dance Workshop with KEIGWIN + COMPANY

Take part in a movement workshop with renowned choreographers ahead of their ArtYard residency
About this Event

Join us for a free movement workshop with renowned choreographers Larry Keigwin and Nicole Wolcott of KEIGWIN + COMPANY.

Let’s Make a Dance invites participants of all ages and experience levels into a playful choreographic process centered on movement, improvisation, and shared creativity. Through games and guided exercises, Larry and Nicole will lead the group in discovering new ways to move, connect, and create together.

No dance experience is necessary — just curiosity, openness, and a willingness to move.

Participants will also learn more about Stage Door, a new community-based performance project KEIGWIN + COMPANY will develop during their residency at ArtYard. The project will bring together professional dancers and movers from across the Frenchtown community to create an original performance premiering at ArtYard on Friday, September 25, followed by a presentation with Works & Process at the Guggenheim in New York City on Sunday, September 27.
