University of Chicago
Release-based Contemporary
Rooted in release-based modern dance techniques, this class will begin on the floor to research how the body leverages weight in relationship to gravity, then build into combinations that balance control with freedom. Kara supports students to find efficiency in movement, spatial awareness, and playful choice-making. Classes will be geared towards intermediate-level students but will support a wide range of movers.

Dance Practice
Rooted in release-based contemporary and modern dance, this 90-min class centers a community cultured space that offers a low-stakes, high play approach to training technique. This class is shaped by sequenced material and guided somatic forms; leaning on short-form choreography often progressing from the floor to standing. Through phrase-work, participants will strengthen their ability to move with efficiency while cycling through momentum-driven physicality that is often grounded, off-centered, inverted, and in spiral. Experienced movers are encouraged although modifications are happily offered throughout the class.

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
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
