Antumbra 2025: Workshops with the Pearling Principle

We're excited to invite Arielle and Brendan of <a href="https://www.pearling.org/">The Pearling Principle</a> to two days of workshops!

WORKSHOP SCHEDULE: SATURDAY 12 Check-in, begins outside the venue 12:15 Optional floor warmup time 12:30 - 1:45 Class 1 - Bodytalk: Communicating with Flow &amp; Finesse Create a dance dialogue grounded in comfortable connection, effortless synchronization, and the freedom of flow. 1:45-2 break/practica/warmup 2-3 Class 2 - The Roots &amp; Fruits of Fusion Develop a broader understanding and mastery of your expressive palette by exploring the diversity and commonalities found in fusion’s cultural influences. 3-3:15 break/practica/warmup 3:30-4:30 Class 3 - Turning up the Heat Build up progressively advanced turns and rotation variations, where you can play with intensity levels and use them to create climactic moments as well as a sustained meditative flow. SUNDAY 12 - Check-in, begins outside the venue 12:15 Optional floor warmup time 12:30 - 1:30 Class 1 - Musicality and the Art of Motion Dancing with music is a multi-sensory art form.
