Dance Improvisation Series
Connection Dance Works and First City School of Dance
present a monthly Dance Improvisation Series!
Sunday, April 2, 2023
10:30am - 12:00pm First City School of Dance
with dance artist Lauren Runions
This session will consider our relationship to movement and writing, reading, and interpreting graphic scores. Participants will move through a somatic warm-up and a series of exercises studying processes of score-making.
The potential for performance or a proposal of performance will close the practice.
Workshops are open to everyone, no experience necessary!
$10 (cash or e-transfer)

First City School of Dance, 156 Union Street, Saint John, NB
Join us once a month for an open Dance Improvisation Workshop.
Each workshop will be led by a different dance artist allowing you to explore dance improvisation
through a variety of lenses.
Wear comfortable clothes you can move in and bring water.
We look forward to moving with you!
