Bridge: Improv for Dancers

​Find the rhythm in the silence and the choreography in the chaos.

​Dancers are masters of physical discipline, but what happens when the music stops or the counts disappear? This workshop is designed to help movers break out of muscle memory and explore "physical improv." By applying improvisational comedy principles to movement, dancers can unlock new levels of expression, storytelling, and ensemble awareness.

• ​The Translation: Shift from external form to internal impulse. Learn to treat your fellow dancers as scene partners, using physical "offers" to drive the performance.

• ​Key Takeaways:

  • ​Developing "ensemble mind" to anticipate the movement of others without a script.

  • ​Using narrative intent to add emotional depth to abstract choreography.

  • ​Overcoming the fear of "looking wrong" to discover emotional expression through improvisation.
