OPEN Shay Kuebler WOrkshop
Workshop Description
Shay Kuebler's foundation in martial arts and theatre led him to dance. With this background, his work remains rigorous and physical, yet always searches for the thematic value - the reasoning - to all performance elements. Workshop participants will learn movement techniques and vocabulary from a range of movement studies, while simultaneously starting to build and implement improvisational tasks to build their own movement and choreography. The workshop will look to build methodology for movement generation and the overall creative process.
