    Movement Matters with Michael Bodel

    Folding, flatness, corrugation. In this interdisciplinary movement workshop, we explore cardboard as a choreographic inspiration and performance partner. Dance artist Michael Bodel’s work integrates objects and materials as central choreographic elements and inspiration. This “devising lab” is part of a series of workshops where participants explore Bodel’s approach to creating dance with objects and also contribute ideas and choreography to this new dance project.
