http://markmorrisdancegroup.org/contact/directions
Beatrice Massin and Catherine Turocy will teach a masterclass “Find Your Baroque Body.” This class is open to the professional dance community of performers, teachers and students. Separately, Massin and Turocy have developed their own methods involving improvisation and spatial concepts which gives a 21st century dancer a window looking into the complexities of motion and expression from the Baroque period. Beatrice will teach for 50 minutes and Catherine will teach during the second half of the class. This will be followed by a 20 minute discussion. Dancers from Beatrice’s company, Fetes Galantes, and from the NYBDC will also be in attendance. Tuition is $20.
