FREE WORKSHOPS: Arcell Cabuag, Ronald K. Brown's/Evidence Dance

Registration FormDescription

EVIDENCE’s dance works incorporate an important spiritual element, which has led to the development of a new residency activity that focuses on the connection between art and spirituality through Ron’s signature text and movement workshop to help participants explore the intersections of their own life’s journey, spirituality and the expression of that purpose through dance as a storytelling art form.  This workshop will be taught by Evidence Associate Artistic Director Arcell Cabuag who is celebrating his 20th year with the company as a dancer and director.

Actors, Performing Artists, teachers, movers of all levels are invited.

Class begins with a community building exercise and a simple warm up that brings the group into a circle. Participants are paired up to tell each other stories. The next stage is each person ”acting out their story” without words.  These studies are shared one at a time and the class, and the viewers tell,“What they see”. Music is added to assist in bringing the study to a deeper understanding. Finally the student either reads the story, or shows us the story and tells us. This assignment allows us to talk about body language, intention in creating and performing work.
