Format: physical workshop
Experience level: Any
Bring: Comfortable clothes, water bottle
Arms and hands give us our upper body lines, they can make us taller and longer than we are and frame our body to enhance the story we are telling.
This workshop will give you some mobility moves (that's code for warm up) and then build on these to give you some fluid combos to use on stage.
You don't need to be a dancer.
We will look at core movements to give you that snake and fluid arm roll and hand waves.
Arms and Hands are a part of Lines and Layers. If you attend this workshop you can also attend the Legs and Hips - Lines and Layers 2.
