Community Experimental Movement Class

On the surface, Arts Mission Oak Cliff is a repurposed old church.But it's a lot more than that – as a sanctuary for artists – and a safe place to foster artistic creativity, energy, and growth for all who enter.

Arts Mission Oak Cliff

Join teaching artist Grace Cuny for a Pop-Up movement class before she returns back to Ireland!

September 10 | 11am-12:30pm | $15The class is a blend of dance, theatre, and improv exercises aimed at getting the mover out of their head - a series of sometimes silly, always highly descriptive prompts to throw the body into overwhelm and toward a state of abandon. The goal of these experiments is to see how a sense of aliveness and play can remain even when we return to &#x27;known&#x27; movement. Participants can expect a fun and physical hour and a half and hopefully walk away with tactics to let their imagination take the driver&#x27;s seat from their inner critic.M﻿ORE ABOUT GRACEGrace is a dance artist from Fort Worth, Texas. She began her training in ballet under the directions of Alexander Vetrov, Paul Mejia, and Maria Balogh. She danced a season with the Suzanne Farrell Ballet in Washington, D.C. before receiving her B.F.A. in Dance Performance from SMU in Dallas. Upon graduating, she moved to NYC where she worked as a freelance dancer with groups like Linked Dance Theatre and Reliant Tom. Her loves for live performance and improvisation encouraged her to explore standup and improv comedy, forming an improv troupe with members of an Upright Citizens Brigade class. In 2021 Grace moved to Ireland to pursue her M.A. in Contemporary Dance from the Irish World Academy. Since then she has toured with Liz Roche Company in her latest production, Yes &amp; Yes.Today Grace enjoys incorporating humor into her work and finds the rules of comedic improv and its general atmosphere of non-judgemental, active choices to be incredibly helpful in the choreographic process. Her curiosities include: dance as a vehicle for transformation, the tragicomic space, and the many unsung, liminal (and at times most magical) stages of life. She is excited by the idea of using personal roadblocks as raw creative material in upcoming projects.Photo Credit: Lauren Cress (top) &amp; Jeremy Allan Kelley (below)<a href="https://www.instagram.com/thekneadfortoast/?hl=en" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">I﻿nstagram</a>
