DESCRIPTION: In interest of being true to our desire to UNFRAME ART we share nuggets from our week long workshop “The Eight Limbs of Dancing,” with our community on 26th! Come explore the dance-making process with members of SonneBlauma Danscz Theatre with One Day Dances, open to all levels of experience. One Day Dances begin with a complimentary breakfast, dialog, rhythm games, & vocal warm-ups at an artist's home. Next we travel to a local thrift shop to purchase impromptu costumes followed by warm-up in an open space, improvisation and rhythm games. Pulling from these games Misa leads the group in creating choreographic material. As a group we travel to an outside venue to perform the work in a public venue. One Day Dances conclude with a potluck “cast party.” Are you reading this? Have you always wanted to experience the dance making process? Interested in working with the company? This one's for YOU!!!

Hard Core SonneBlauma Style of Danscz - presented by The Future Traditions Foundation.
TIME: Tuesdays 6:30-9:30
DATES: Months of August, September, February, March, June & July
PLACE: Montecito School of Ballet, 529 E Gutierrez St. Call (805) 569-0389 for information.
DESCRIPTION: Join us in our "process." This is our company class/rehearsal process. The first portion of class is a mixed level. As the class progresses it becomes more advanced. We encourage people to come and do as much as they can! The style is 100% dance unique in that it is an "intuited" process that draws from an extensive movement vocabulary. That means, when you come and engage, we are sensitive to who you are in time and space in an interconnected realm. What you bring to the moment informs what emerges in the experience. Our emphasis? You are absolutely perfect where you are in the moment...when you leave class...you will be just that much different, all that more aware. Presently we are engaged in workshoping a new work so expect to not only dance & move, but participate in the choreographic process.
