Storytelling Through Gesture and Movement November 9, 2010

Dancer/choreographer Daniel Phoenix Singh leads this workshop on hand gestures and how they are used in Bharata Natyam and modern dance to convey ideas and emotions. These techniques are central to Dakshina/Daniel Phoenix Singh Dance Company’s performances of both the classical dance forms of Eastern India and modern choreography such as Anna Sokolow’s, presented at the Center this season. This participatory workshop is open to everyone; no movement experience is necessary.
