May 21st | 7:00pm-8:30pm | Arts Mission Oak Cliff
This month Agora Artists is proud to bring local dancers a pop-up class at AMOC with Alex Clair!
This class has the focus of habit breaking - offering improvisational tasks to discover new ways of movement and applying those discoveries to phrase work and choreography. The idea of noticing our known and challenging the exploration of the lesser accessed and unknown movement, allowing for greater discovery and embracement of ourselves as movement artists, and artistic minds.
