YOU ARE NOt my enemy - community workshop
In June 2016, Big Rig Dance Collective was awarded a microgrant from the Greater Denton Arts Council with Texas Commission on the Arts and National Endowment for the Arts. The grant allows us to jump start a new community-centered project using commissioned choreography by Jane Hawley, titled You Are Not My Enemy. This material is the base for a FREE all-abilities, multi-generational dance workshop hosted by Trinity Presbyterian Church in May. You Are Not My Enemy challenges how we relate to one another and opens conversations about prevalent issues that we all face.
The movement material for this work, originally sourced from play between two young brothers, teeters back and forth between the emotional edges of love and hate, as we see in many young sibling relationships. Yet, when the movement score is transposed onto diverse adult participants, the tumultuous physical relationship is transformed to something both sinister and compassionate, suggesting the complexity of relationships between people in our contemporary society. Each class will begin with a short lesson in mindfulness through movement, followed by creative collaboration between participants though guided improvisation. Each participant has the agency to make choices about his/her movement experience - no previous dance experience needed.
Where: Trinity Presbyterian Church, 2200 N. Bell Avenue, Denton, TX 76209
When: Saturdays, 10a-12p, April 29-May 20, with Informance and Potluck Lunch 12-1p on May 20
Who: Anyone interested in moving as a community, no experience necessary!
