Modern MOVES: Movement Workshop & Dance Film Opportunity

Modern MOVES: Movement Workshop & Dance Film Opportunity

Come join us at Aquila's Nest Vineyards for an exciting day filled with dance! Our workshop, led by Founding Artistic Director of Ballaro Dance, Marisa f. Ballaro, and our Company dancers, will cover modern dance technique, choreography, and performance skills. Whether you're a seasoned dancer or just getting started, this workshop is perfect for anyone looking to express themselves through movement.

Expect high energy moves rooted in American modern dance - think: swinging, twisting, expanding - and expressive performance! After the warm-up, we'll explore improvisational themes that lead to a dance-making project. The process will be collaborative and expressive.

As part of the workshop, participants are invited to star alongside Ballaro Dance 'on screen' in a new dance film by Zoran Prodanovic! Captured on site at the vineyard, the short film will be released on YouTube in fall of 2025. Click HERE to see Silent Disco, a 2023 dance film by Ballaro Dance and Zoran to give you a sense of what an outdoor dance film might look like. Don't miss this chance to learn, grow, and showcase your talent in a supportive environment.

After the workshop, participants are invited to stay for the Company's performance of "SHE WHO INSPIRES" with complimentary attendance with workshop registration. The rain date for this event is Thursday, July 17. Upon registration, attendees will receive a participation waiver and other details via email prior to the event.
