In this creative dance residency, participants will be inspired to understand and tap into the expressive power of their bodies and to share their stories through dance and movement. Participants will learn about the elements of dance and how to generate original movement material in collaboration with others. This material will be used to create a dance presentation for a culminating event that reflects the participants lived experiences.
