ICR Workshop by Jack Gray

The Indigenous Choreographers at Riverside (ICR) project is an annual event that brings Indigenous dance artists, Indigenous studies scholars, and dance studies scholars to campus to connect, discuss, and share work. We look at ways Indigenous dance, in diverse forms and locations, engages Indigenous knowledges, and the import of these articulations.This year’s ICR gathering features workshops, roundtables, and public presentations throughout late May. The culminating event is on Thursday, May 30, 6 to 9 p.m., developed in relation with the EXPLODE! Queer Dance Festival and featuring Indigenous dance artists and knowledge holders whose works engage sexual and gender diversity from a multiplicity of perspectives. Participants include: Shash Yázhí Charley, Lukas Avendaño, Fabiola Torralba, Javier Stahl Frésquez, Snowflake Towers, Dakota Camacho, Cuauhtemoc Peranda, among other artists.

“Movement for Joy” ICR Workshop by Jack Gray
Location: Infuse Dance Studio 3737 Main St. Ste 103A  Riverside, CA 92501 11:00 AM – 12:15 PM Free and open to the public with RSVP.
“Movement for Joy” is a 75 minute physical ‘dance’ class by Jack Gray,  formulated  as a response to the experience of contemporary stress-related symptoms arising from isolation, pressures and demands, a sedentary and computerized lifestyle and more. Gray is an internationally renowned choreographer, as well as a founding member and the current artistic director of Atamira Dance Company in Aotearoa (New Zealand), which creates and produces high quality Māori contemporary dance theatre . The class is a call and response to the personal and the collective body, with a range of moving sequences guided by Gray alongside the constant bpm of (pop) music. This practice evolved in collaboration with the visual arts, theatre and education staff and local community at Corban Estate Arts Centre in  Auckland (where Atamira Dance Company is based) after recognizing the need for people to express themselves more without an end goal. The space aspires to be all-inclusive, and supportive of a wide range of needs (all ages/all levels of movement experience/all mobilities).
