Weekly Professional Class with Tara Brandel (Croí Glan)

Taking the methodology and themes of Unseen, Croí Glan's latest multidisciplinary dance work, we will use improvisation to explore ecosystems and invisible forces. Spanning 4 years of interdisciplinary collaboration between choreographer Tara Brandel, and abstract painter Stacey White, we will share some of the movement research we have been working on.
