Meredith Improv听

Interest Meeting,听
Weatherspoon, Studio A

Meredith Improv is a low-commitment and non-auditioned dance group for anyone (any dance experience, any level) who wants to learn or continue learning how to improvise in dance. Movement improvisation is any non-choreographed movement danced on the spot. Some improvisation can have prompts, some can be exploring different movements than you are used to, and some can just be moving however you want to move. We will have meetings hopefully once a month, depending on the availability of everyone. Some meetings will be improvising in the studio, some will be outside on campus, and some will be off campus. Improv has performed in past years at CSA day, before dance concerts, and in random places on campus. Improv is open to anyone and I hope to see you all there! The interest meeting will be held Friday, August 22nd 10:00-10:50 AM听 in Studio A.听Contact: Elizabeth (ewdaughety@email.meredith.edu)Follow: @Meredith.college.improv听
