Knockout Workshop @ Hothouse
May

to May 24

Knockout Workshop @ Hothouse

Part movement practice, part creative play, this 90-min workshop dives into the aesthetics and themes of Knockout – a fierce contemporary dance duet powered by high-femme silhouettes, boy-ish horseplay, toothful camp, slow-motion-erotica, and the late night pulse of cruising club culture. Participants can expect an energized and community-forward atmosphere. Bodies will be warmed and revved up, moving through material that navigates the floor, locomotive phrasing, and dynamic interactions among class participants centering power dynamics, slow-burn tension, and rowdy play.

Knockout Workshop @ Red eye theater
Apr

Knockout Workshop @ Red eye theater

Part dance practice, part creative play, this class dives into the physicality and themes of Chicago artists Erin Kilmurray and Kara Brody’s Knockout – a fierce contemporary dance duet powered by high-femme silhouettes, boy-ish horseplay, toothful camp, and athletic, anti-hero energy. 

Participants will be guided through a sensation lead warm up, practice (learn) dynamic floor phrase work, and apply these materials towards experimentation in tension, proximity, play, and negotiations of power in a queer-affirming and community-motivated atmosphere. 

Sliding Scale $5-$30 | Limited Registrations
