Photos from ArtWeek “Creatures” Workshop

This unique workshop in May 2018 was for adults and children ages 8+, and presented as a part of Massachusetts ArtWeek. In a one-of-a-kind experience, this unique workshop encouraged participants to interpret and identify their own artistic portrayal of animals, and blend it with choreographed dance excerpts as well as improvised movement. Students learned from choreographer Sallee Slagle and the dancers of Forty Steps Dance while exploring the movement of Creatures. All workshop students also were presented with the fully edited video of Sallee Slagle’s choreographic master work Creatures which was filmed at LynnArts theater.
