vortex work-in-progress

This is the beginning stages of development:
29/Vortex

Considering the future from a child’s perspective let’s open some records and invite dreams and other realities into a conversational dance. Time jumping as we bump up against each other’s time frames. This is a 3day improvisational exploration of child/adult dreaming asking the question, how much of my original essence is here and where is my heart located? Is this planet where I intended to land?
Round 2.

Brannigan Dance Works presents Bones

By

Brannigan Dance Works presents Bones,

a full evening of contemporary dance choreographed by Khala Brannigan reflecting nature itself, accessing the innate wisdom and feminine intuition that lives with bodies and the earth. With twelve performers and original music composed by San Francisco Conservatory of Music’s MaryClare Brzytwa and Costas Dafnis, Bones represents death and rebirth – a research of the soul and the resilient self, engaging with the body, and the trauma it has endured, to create something more than the sum of its history. Though these twelve performers may not share the same stories of resilience, Bones aims to depict the truth of equality – digging deeper into our wild, intuitive nature, finding that in the end, humanity shares the same matter.

Dance for Parkinson’s Class

By

As an affiliate program of Dance for PD, Joe Goode Performance Group teaches a Dance for Parkinson’s class at the Joe Goode Annex. Our classes are based on the innovative Dance for PD program designed by the Mark Morris Dance Group and the Brooklyn Parkinson Group. Using this method, professional dancers draw on their unique expertise to help people with Parkinson’s Disease and their caregivers engage sight, sound, touch, thought, and imagination to bring control to their movements. Dancing in chairs, at a barre, or standing, experienced teaching artists will lead participants in an enjoyable blend of modern dance, ballet, tap, jazz, and social dancing. While strengthening, balancing, and moving in rhythm to live music, people with PD also experience the power of dance and music to sharpen attention, inspire, and empower.

Sunday, 10:00am-11:15am [special time adjustment]
