Being outside, especially on the land of Horsford is so stimulating for a creator. Come enjoy the shifting evening light, amidst the beauty of the flowers' colors, shapes and smells, and the calming energy of the land. This workshop will take an interdisciplinary approach to self-study (writing), collective dancing (improvisation), and site-specific compositions (creating with the atmosphere, flowers and land), all within the guidance of Hanna's prompts, instructions and scores. Great for movers who like to write, and writers who like to move.
