Impro Club
Tracks says ‘no’ to trying to control the chaos, and ‘yes’ to developing fluid ways of interacting with it. We have invested many years in developing and offering improvisatory workshops for multiple dancers across many artistic disciplines, through choreographic development work and performance practice. This year we will be running several series of workshops, aimed at people with some improvisational practice already.
Impro Club is a series of regular gatherings satisfying the community's desire to extend and maintain their movement practice. Regular public performances will take place throughout the year in indoor and outdoor locations. This offering includes the popular Lushdance Intensives - a full day of studio time for improvisation, writing, drawing, and sharing food.
Program Co-leaders: Jess Devereux & Kelly Beneforti
