Instructors will lead inspiring sessions not typically offered on Peridance’s weekly schedule, making this a rare opportunity to train in a dynamic and enriching setting.
PERFORMANCE PROJECT
A multi-day intensive performance and training project with New York City's master dance artists. Each Performance Project is tailored specifically to the artist and their personal creative process. The intensive will culminate in a live performance, with footage provided to each participant.
THROUGHLINE
Join "Throughline," a one-of-a-kind, 4-hour contemporary dance workshop led by three powerhouse choreographers: Gregory Dolbashian, Mark Caserta, and Laja Field. Each choreographer brings their own signature style and approach to movement, creating a rich, multifaceted experience designed to push boundaries and inspire growth. Participants will immerse themselves in several skill-building modules focused on improvisation and repertory, with ample opportunities to move, explore, and collaborate as a group. With these three dynamic voices working in harmony, "Throughline" offers a rigorous yet supportive environment, where dancers will not only refine their craft but also discover new dimensions of their artistry.
SUNDAY SESSIONS
Beth Gracyzk Productions X Peridance Center
Sunday Sessions is a workshop series inviting participants to explore improvisational tools & tactics in contemporary dance, and through the lens of teaching artists who actively use improvisation in their generative work. A 2-hour workshop will guide movers through modalities that will help develop individual movement invention and lead into ensemble practices that will open up possibilities of connecting with others as we build each moment together.
