📣CALLING ALL CHOREOGRAPHERS!!
Aeris Körper brings the inaugural Solo Dance Lab to Hamilton!

🌟 The Lab was created by the prolific choreographer and performer, Denise Fujiwara , to support choreographers in the most challenging of choreographic forms; the solo. Creation & Conversation follows the 5 week Lab structure, plus a culminating social for Hamilton choreographers and dance artists to deepen community connections.

👣 This process is a path to finding, developing and deepening one’s own voice as a dance artist. Develop your work with prompts and feedback from Denise, advancing your creativity and choreography while in community with peers. Through this Lab, which includes talks, homework assignments, informal showings and feedback, we give space to ask questions, experiment, and allow for trial and error, all in service of growing our knowledge, skills and ability to create solos.

📆 Dates | 5 SUNDAYS, Oct 26-Nov 30
⏰ Time | 1-5pm
📍 Place | ANDTHENYOU, Upstairs Studio
💌 Investment | $300*

*Further subsidies are available; please inquire at info@aeriskorper.com. The cost of Solo Dance Lab in Toronto is $400.

‼️ We are NOW ACCEPTING Expressions of Interest. Head to the link in our bio to learn more & apply today!
