After spending many years with Pilobolus Dance Theater, Gaspard Louis has developed a keen understanding of creative movement and partnering techniques. Louis will offer a workshop at NC State that is playful, group-driven, physically challenging and fun. Participants will work individually and collaboratively to explore spatial awareness, create shapes and gestures and learn about weight-sharing activities using base/support and balance/counterbalance techniques. At the end of class, participants better understand dance-making. By eliminating the preconception of what dance should be and exploring what is unique in each individual body, students will discover what is possible. 

This workshop is presented in partnership with NC State LIVE.
