About this Event

Community Contemporary is an opportunity for all levels of movers to dive into improvisation, technique, and play while fostering relationships new and old, thus creating and/or expanding their creative community. If you are looking for a supportive environment to animate and excite the tiny inner child dancer within you: this class is it, regardless of your prior experience with dance.

THE REPERTORY EXPERIENCE

Commit to a full six weeks of class and rehearsals, and have the chance to perform at The Click’s first informal gala, “Toast with The Click” on April 26. This class and performance experience will be led by Angelina Benitez.

Join Angie in creating a tiny but mighty collaborative piece to be shown at “Toast with The Click”, The Click’s first informal gala to be held at Human Movement Lab on April 26 celebrating 5 years of movement together. Over the course of just 6 short weeks we’ll explore the power of the gesture and take inspiration from all things small including but not limited to everyday gestures, bugs, keys, really anything you could fit in your pocket. It is not recommended to miss any rehearsals due to the short rehearsal process.

About The Click:

Developed in 2021, The Click is a collaborative dance company and creative collective in Greater Boston. Its members are dancers whose primary medium of physical expression is through contemporary dance forms, but who experiment in many modes and genres of creativity. As a collective, The Click’s members are each deeply invested in answering the universally complex question: who am I and what am I doing here?

The Click contributes to the consistent presence of creativity in Boston and beyond in several ways: by educating pre-professional youth dancers, professional adult dancers and the dance-curious of any age; performing original creations several times a year at traditional and non-traditional venues across Massachusetts, New England and beyond; and by investing in the curiosity of those new to dance in Boston or new to dance in general by maintaining an open, inclusive and accessible community.
