Movement Workshop for Teens with Oliver Tobin

Learn from expert, Oliver Tobin— former Teens@Graham Director and curator of Martha Graham: Collaborations – who invites teens with a love for movement to explore Graham’s 1929 choreographed work Heretic. This participatory workshop is open to teenagers of all dance backgrounds and experience levels.  Participants will be introduced to the Martha Graham Technique and explore embodied storytelling through movement in the main gallery, surrounded by the iconic history and legacy presented in the exhibition.

Programmed in tandem with the exhibition, this workshop celebrates International Women’s Day, Sunday, March 8th. Join us in honoring Martha Graham, who devoted her life and body to the arts, sought power and liberation for women through dance, and, through collaboration, forged a legacy that transformed the landscape of contemporary dance.

Participants should dress comfortably and bring a water bottle. Socks or bare feet are recommended for movement. No other materials are needed.
