After a warm-up class based on the choreographer’s versatile movement research and practice, Jill Crovisier offers the participants a moment of exploration around theatrical storytelling in dance, which aims to gain a deeper understanding of the theatrical application of physicality and its transformative potential in performing arts. While playing with physical and narrative skills, each participant will work on enhancing their ability to connect emotions, sensations, images and movement. The choreographer will share some of her practices to guide the participants in a personal research around character works and theatrical storytelling in dance.
