Rhythm & Gestures
All Levels Collaborative Classes and Workshops
Rhythm & Gestures is a community offering for dancers of all levels. Artists from different disciplines, styles, or cultures come together to hold a collaborative class focusing on technique, music, and narrative building, in hopes of adding to your creative process and finding new ways to move!
Rhythm & Gestures classes are generously subsidized by our facilitators or organizational grant support.
Rhythm & Gestures: An All Levels Bharatanatyam Class (Berkeley)
1 hour 30 minutes @ $21
Every Monday starting August 18th from 7:30 - 9:00 pm
@ Shawl Anderson Dance Center - 2704 Alcatraz Ave, Berkeley, CA 94705.
We begin with a warm up, fundamental adavus or foundational steps, learn a routine to popular music, and also do some abhinaya work rooted in gesture and improvisational storytelling. While some Indian dance experience would help, you do NOT need to be familiar with Indian forms to attend!
Please note, these classes are being facilitated by Shawl Anderson Dance Center.
