August 10-16, 2024 | Sunday through Saturday 10a-4p | Studio5 Performing Arts Center. Informal performance of new work on Saturday, August 16th, open to the public.

Cost: $500. Payment options below:

All at once. Or: $50/month for eight months. Or: $100/month for five months.

Molly Shanahan/Mad Shak’s signature week-long workshop for professional movers (emerging, established, and returning) and advanced university students (we ask that any university student has completed at least one year of college/university).

Join Molly Shanahan and members of the MS/MS ensemble for Spiral Body Techniques class from 10a-noon, a break for lunch, and an afternoon session of solo and group creation that evolves into an original choreographic work performed by all participants, with MS/MS members, in an informal showing on the final day of the workshop.

Throughout, and through the frame of a fluid movement vocabulary and approach combining embodied ease and expertise, we explore seeing and being seen through a deep immersion into self-value and -trust, challenging and reframing the dominance of an external surveilling gaze, and the power and potential of the intersubjective exchange between self and other.

If space allows, SBT class will be “open” for drop-in (see just below). Fifteen participant maximum. Payment plans can always be arranged. Please reach out with questions!
