DC EMPTY: Water Workshop + Artist Talk

Dallas Contemporary’s performance and film programming series DC EMPTY continues with Water Work, a duet by dance artists Lauren Kravitz and Shantel Prado, and draws inspiration from American cultures surrounding water.

This workshop invites folks to dive into the world of Water Work through movement and group discussion. Kravitz and Prado will guide you through simple embodiment exercises, finding ebbs and flows unique to our own bodies, then end the movement portion with some creative play-time, exploring repetitive wave patterns and poolside postures. We'll save the last 30 minutes for an informal Q&A. No previous dance experience necessary. Come make waves and friends!
