A musical theatre-informed dance workshop for performers and choreographers, centered on adapting movements for all performers.
This participatory workshop, led by Makenzie Gomez, invites disabled and non-disabled choreographers and dancers into a shared space of curiosity, experimentation, and care. Participants will explore adapting choreography to different mobility needs while honoring both artistic vision and embodied reality. In this vulnerable, skill-building space, they will practice asking for what they need, listening deeply, and discovering how making space can strengthen creative collaboration rather than hinder it.
This two-part Arts & Health Project offering invites disabled and non-disabled artists, choreographers, dancers, students, faculty, staff and community members to explore accessibility as a central, generative force in creative work; from the earliest spark of an idea through collaboration, rehearsal, and realization.
Space is limited. Register here.
