ACTIVATE is a half-day outdoor workshop experience to refresh and ignite the body through somatic and investigative practices. This workshop serves the dance community during a time of limited movement opportunities due to COVID-19. After cancelling KARAR's indoor workshop that was scheduled August 11-13, we knew we needed to create another opportunity to move together when it was safe to do so! We are excited to present ACTIVATE on August 12 from 9-1 pm to (location TBA).
See the workshop scheduled below! Dancers will not be subject to high-intensity movement for the duration of the workshop activities. All movement tasks will consist of discussions to give all bodies rest.
Dancers age 14 & up are welcome to join us and registration is REQUIRED to participate. ACTIVATE is a donation-based movement opportunity; payment is not required but appreciated to support KARAR DANCE COMPANY. Cash and checks will be accepted or visit
karardancecompany.org/support and select "DONATE" (be sure to include a line regarding ACTIVATE).
Number of participants will be capped at 25 to abide by 10 foot social distancing. We will also have a wait list opportunity and should you be entered on the waitlist, you will receive an email communication. Registration details including health and safety guidelines are outlined in this registration form. Registration will also consist of the receipt of a signed waiver.
