3451 Opie Crescent

A﻿s part of Method Dance Society's Community Moves, we will be hosting a number of performances and workshops for dancers and community members. O﻿n May 14th Community Moves will welcome Nicolas Ventura and Margarida Macieira from Addo Platform to share their practice. C﻿reativeLab:CreativeLab is a guided workshop taking each individual on a journey through physical sensations and self awareness, considering our defaults and building new pillars to walk from. The sessions provide choreographic tools and concepts that allow the participants to break their habits and challenge personal expectations and limitations. We host a safe environment for questioning and dialogue between you and your body. A dialogue between past and present movement knowledge, between the single individual on a unique journey and the multiplicity and diversity of the bodies in the room. The work combines different volumes of physicality, multiple use of techniques and an open highway for communication. C﻿lasses are for dancers and community members 16+N﻿icolas Ventura:Born in Guatemala and raised in Canada, Nicolas has travelled the world for both his studies and profession in dance.
