How does the Choreographer express meaning through dance? How does the audience member draw understanding from the experience of viewing movement?
In this four-day summer workshop “Stories in Motion,” OLLI will partner with teaching artists from renowned Hubbard Street Dance Chicago (HSDC) to learn how to express ideas, story, and character through healthy movement. We will explore the choreographic process as an “artist”: dancer, audience member, and choreographer. Join us as we activate the mind-body connection with guided, accessible movement activities rooted in the universal dance vocabulary of Body, Energy, Space, and Time (B.E.S.T.) Movers of all levels and abilities are welcome, including those who choose to move in a chair.
Learn how certain movements connect to brain processes and do the “Brain Dance” to strengthen connections.
View archival video from HSDC to observe how the body is moving, then interpret what your “eyes see” into what your “mind sees” as story.
Work with other OLLI members to create original choreography.
Hear what goes on “behind the scenes” in a choreographic production.
Tickle your creative imagination while enjoying some healthy movement.
