WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Mira will take you to the core of her practice in this 3-day intensive, addressing moving with intention, strong form and execution, and cleaning up technique for a sharper, more poised dance presence. An outspoken advocate for the ennoblement of this dance form, Mira will also explore, through lecture writing and discussion, such themes as ethics, pricing, and how the present trends in this dance are affecting its progression. She believes it is important to not only hone your abilities as a technician, but to also develop your art within the context of its place socially and historically, to explore our responsibilities as dancers, artists and humans. Mira creates a safe dynamic learning space to do just that.
