The DanceAbility Method: The Art of Being Together

Host: Alito Alessi ( US )
Venue: Online

HK$400 /person

DanceAbility was created by American dance artists Alito Alessi and Karen Nelson in 1987. Alito has since then used improvisational dance to promote artistic expression and exploration between people with and without disabilities. This 3 hour class will focus on foundation exercises of the DanceAbility method. We will introduce basic concepts of movement improvisation to people of all abilities, based on things that can be done by ALL participants. We will introduce people to the unique language of each person’s body and work with non verbal communication with partners and larger groups.
