Performance Techniques
This class puts the performer at the center, drawing on Rosie Herrera’s theatrical and emotionally rich dance-theater practice to explore what performance can be. It asks questions like: How can we grow as performers? How can we practice care to become better collaborators and ensemble members? How can we create flexible choreographies that adapt to changing theatrical needs? And how do we build endurance and discipline while still enjoying the process? Inspired by Caribbean influences and a love for both boldness and intimacy, this mostly improvised class encourages performers to break old habits, trust their instincts, and find new ways to connect. For those interested in choreography, the class is also a chance to see how improvisation, emotional states, and working together can shape choreographic ideas.
