Workshop: INTRODUCTION TO CONTEMPORARY DANCE (for absolute beginners)
Allison Burns
This workshop is a gentle introduction to contemporary dance. It is designed for anyone who has been curious about the style, or movement in general. There is absolutely no dance experience required. Come feel what that brilliant body of yours can do! Participants should wear comfortable clothing that allows a full range of movement. Also, bring socks and prepare to dance without your shoes.
“What a sublime workshop! Allison was so wonderful in creating a safe and welcoming space for exploration of movement and body.”
- Kathy Slamen, workshop participant

The artist will be interviewed by our host Kym Dominique Ferguson @Mrkdferguson. This is a one of a kind experience. There will be 8 Open Mic spots available for all genres: spoken word, poetry, comedy, singers, clowns, dancers, you name it we welcome it. They are each given a 5 min timeslot.
A hotel you can stay in…forever. Staff are eager to help, and metaphysical boundaries are mostly respected. That is, until a has-been celebrity comes to stay.
