No! There is no one that will come to this program trained in all of the forms that will be taught in the intensive. Very likely most will come with very little to no experience at all in these particular practices, even if they are trained professional dancers. We are hoping to have a combination of people who are trained dancers in any form and people who love dance but are not formally trained. What we are looking for is a mix of interests, histories and experiences, and an interest in thinking and discussing issues of identity, migration, colonization/de-colonization, human rights and all of the complexities that emerge in our crossing of paths – all through an embodied practice. The intensive will welcome all people with all kinds of bodies. That said, every day will be full of dance!
