As part of Mark Morris Dance Center’s new Pro Series, join us for a workshop inside of the Liberated Pelvis, a movement system, created by Co-Artistic Director Mame Diarra Speis

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

The Liberated Pelvis, a movement system, created by Co-Artistic Director Mame Diarra Speis, that explores pelvic mobility as the root of powerful locomotion and as a point of connection to the stories, experiences, memories and lineages that reside in the body. There will be a charge to tune our instincts, intuition, and body knowledge by being immersed in different “states” through a durational process. We will do this by exploring concepts of full bodied movement with a dynamic blend of athleticism and fluidness, integrating breath and musicality, core stability, feet as foundation, grounding, shifting, and accessing the full range of the pelvis. Emphasis is placed on developing a foundation that supports a greater expansion through space with clarity and efficiency. The Liberated Pelvis gives attention to understanding self and our uniqueness with a deep focus on honing our individual voice through permission, play, rigor, transparency, and duration, a value within the African Diaspora.

Please note: Previous dance practice/experience is strongly encouraged.
