JOIN BONNIE FOR A WEEKEND OF DANCE WITH FREEFORM THEATREWhat an unreal adventure.

Award-winning choreographer Bonnie Curtis invites dancers and movers to a morning of self-expression.

Get outside your comfort zone and push beyond your limits in a safe space for creative exploration and risk-taking.⁠
⁠
Bonnie will share her artistic process from her works LIMITS and GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS.⁠

In this workshop, you’ll unlock your creativity and connect with the joy of movement.

This workshop will involve:⁠
– guided writing tasks⁠
– physical warm-up⁠
– guided movement explorations
– introduction on making your own choreography
– mini-performance showing*** (can take this out if you want although I think it would be cool to do a mini showing thing)
– cool down
– group discussion⁠
⁠
Come with an open heart, an open mind, a notepad and pen.

Please wear comfortable clothes you can move freely in and a pair of socks.

“I just love the way Bonnie makes movement seem easy and natural, she allowed me to feel comfortable to explore my relationship with space & my body. Highly recommend her classes. Five stars.”
Anthony, class participant.

“It is the free creativity and being given core concepts and ideas I love.”
Katharine, class participant

“Bonnie has a relaxed and encouraging teaching method which makes learning worthwhile and good for the soul!!
Robbie, class participant
