Dance w/ me - intentional collaboration with audiences in immersive dance

This workshop introduces an adaptable framework for approaching movement based immersive performance. It balances theoretical and practical approaches to performing alongside audiences. Ultimately it is an invitation to play, collaborate and dance together.
