Come experience the beauty, joy, and simplicity of moving with breath! This movement workshop, led by Murfreesboro Dance Laureate Meg Brooker, will explore the relationship between breath and gesture developed by early modern dance artists Isadora Duncan and Florence Fleming Noyes. Movement sequences consist of simple, easy-to-follow patterns supported by imagery from nature and Greek mythology.
This is a free event, and no experience is necessary. There’s plenty of free parking at Patterson Park. Find us in the Exercise Room there!
