| What can students expect from this workshop?
The Click welcomes Peter DiMuro, Executive Artistic Director of The Dance Complex and Artistic Director of Peter DiMuro/Public Displays of Motion, for two special workshops suitable for a variety of performers at all career stages. Throughout this week of exploration, Peter will share his tips and tricks of the trade, discussing the power of collaboration as he has experienced it in his work and others’, and – with participants – calling on and cultivating skills of performing authentically both as an individual and within an ensemble. Students can sign up for either or both workshops as their schedule and interest allows. Tuesday March 5: Cultivating Collaboration Through movement exercises and the on spot analyzing of them, this workshop asks participants to consider methods of cultivating collaboration in both class and rehearsal settings. We will consider: how to create a sense of safe community while also driving physical dynamics; how to devise verbal prompts; how to access, layer and cull the creative output of the participants and more. Thursday March 7: Performance Power Who is the “who” we bring to the platforms on which we perform? How do we challenge ourselves to create new and fresh ways to approach performance? Peter and participants will explore various answers to these fundamental questions in this workshop, during which we will discuss and play with focus, persona, embodiment, and energy as a means to expand our choices when inhabiting any place.
