CHOREOGRAPHY WORKSHOPS WITH JENNIE LIU
Venue : YAF Studio
Enquiry : 2877 2656


In this 3-hour workshop, participants create as much movement as possible, using their individual and personal experience as source material.

THANK YOU. THE WORKSHOPS HAD BEEN HELD SUCCESSFULLY.


Inspired by the innovations of dance artists from the 1960's onwards, they devote time to constructing movement phrases with the same intelligence as one would normally devote to constructing sentences.

Mixing ballet/modern vocabularies and pop culture routines, folk dances and 'everyday' movement, the dance reflect themes that exist in personal lives. Working in partners and sharing the work with the group, they investigate what it means to dance with and for each other and what is specific to dance as a means to communicate. Movement phrases are sketched out and partnered with unexpected sound and music, challenge their compositional habits with chance procedures, incorporate gesture, pedestrian movement and text, to cultivate individuality and an inquisitive attitude towards dance making.
