Dance/Movement Workshop with Ayako Kato
2022 Fall Term 1: What is ETHOS?: Special Edition
Saturdays, Sept 17, 24, Oct 1 & 8, 12:30-2:15 pm CST (Hybrid In Person @ Hamlin Park Fieldhouse Theater Studio, Chicago, IL & on ZOOM, please reach Ayako to register, see below, and receive a link if you are participating through Zoom.)
During this term, through the four sessions, we will exchange dialogue and move on ethos. What do we observe the invisible ethos within you an others currently? Let’s detect the streamline within your body and out there. Then, let’s connect and develop our awareness so that we can act and move with more holistic selves.
Dance is the art of being. Ayako wants to offer this workshop as a daily practice of being,—as a human, mover, performer, artist, dancer, and choreographer. Through this practice, Ayako will share the way to find our centered, grounded, and balanced selves through imagery (and physical reality) based exercises.
Through improvisational and simple compositional exercises, participants will raise a keen awareness of the expansiveness as well as the depth of being. Participants will explore ways to open up the body-mind as an empty conduit to welcome new wind flow through themselves and feel fullness.
Ayako will share how to expand and develop the tangible and intangible tensegrity (tension x integrity) through our bodies and minds to sense new relationships within and around us. Participants will be asked to create their own short dance.
Early Bird Special for 4 sessions: $50; Single drop-in: $12-15 (Sliding scale).
