Workshop Description:
Training with elements of Capoeira and Wushu, Jones works in theatrical exercises to bring out the aggressive Warrior Spirit that characterizes certain Diavolo dances like D2R, Dreamcatcher, and Bench. Developing and abstracting fight choreography into dynamic movement phrases, participants will learn how to increase their energy output on stage and collaborate with partners through resistance and conflict.
Diavolo Classes always include a rigorous physical warm-up, followed by elements of dance phrase work, partnering, acrobatics, martial arts, improvisation, catching and flying, and working with Diavolo structures which are key elements in the company's signature movement style. All are invited to come, move, and learn more about how Diavolo works, any age and ability level welcome.
