Saturdays in the Dance Studio: Exploring Movement with Hoops
Join us for a workshop on "Inside/Out: Exploring Movement with Hoops" with Gabrielle Revlock.
RSVP: rholland@brynmawr.edu
Come to the studio for a chance to learn about dance with hoops from Gabi Revlock, an expert in the form. She will start at the beginning, teaching how to keep the hoop going. From there the constant motion leads to exploring spirals, subtle weight shifts, and pathways through the body. Be prepared to find communion with your new dance partner, the hoop. Class will include skill training and improvisatory structures. No experience necessary.
Gabrielle Revlock is a Bessie Award winning dance-maker working out of Philadelphia and NYC. She is known for her work with the hoop, slapstick-feminist performances and shenanigans and her “inventive,” “rambunctious,” and “mesmerizing” choreography. Revlock has performed in Japan, Netherlands, Singapore, Hungary, India, Russia, across the USA. Her work has been supported by the Independence Foundation, The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, PA Council on the Arts, Puffin Foundation, Foundation for Contemporary Arts, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, American Dance Abroad and the US Department of State. In 2018 she was named ‘Newcomer of the Year’ by the performance journal Tanz. As a dancer, she has performed for Lucinda Childs, David Gordon, jumatatu m. poe, Susan Rethorst, Leah Stein, Vicky Shick and Jane Comfort. She is also the creator of Restorative Contact, a mindfulness practice that uses touch as the primary anchor.
