Open Canvas
Open Canvas is a minimally structured time for experimenting with composition and collaboration. The practice is open to all, regardless of artistic training, and invites participants to move, make music, write, draw, or observe in a shared space and time. Open Canvas is inspired by several historic environments where artists overlapped in time and space, spurring innovation through a cross-breeding of ideas.

Monday, June 20: Jessie Young // Body Prep
Wake up the body through somatic principles of breath, stability and total body integration within Pilates and Yoga. Utilizing these principles, we will move through structures and forms of directed action with a depended sense of intentionality.
Tuesday, June 21: Rishauna Zumberg & Monica Robles // States of Being
This class starts where you are at. In a guided way, we begin moving from the state(s) we are in, exploring and embodying our own inner world, our opposites, and then our environment. We will then express the experience through writing, drawing, and re-telling through movement.
Wednesday, June 22: Laurel Atwell // Qi Gong
Utilizing Qi Gong-based principles and exercises, we will identify and engage the systems of the body. By practicing forms and visualizations we will connect the corporeal to the energetic, the internal to the universal. This class is devoted to cultivating inner life force; discovering balance and rejuvenation.
Thursday, June 23: Lailye Weidman & Zena Bibler // Dancing Together: Improvisation, Collaboration, and Self-discovery
How do we develop energy in our own dances? In this class we will share tools for finding improvisational/compositional ideas for solo dancing and working in partnerships/groups.
