Eccentric Movement Workshop with Bill Irwin

What’s Eccentric Dancing?  What’s eccentric for each body? What use can be made of each body’s particular way of moving?

Veteran performer/choreographer Bill Irwin will teach a two hour workshop looking at clown vocabulary, traditions of “eccentric dancing” and looking for every participant’s signature way of moving to music. Please wear soft-soled shoes.
